The Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) Sunbury Unit is currently recruiting new members to help keep the community safe.
The Sunbury SES Unit serves the communities of Sunbury, Diggers Rest, Bulla, Wildwood and Clarkefield. Last year they responded to more than 300 calls for assistance, including more than 60 rescue calls.
Unit controller Anthony White said volunteering with VICSES has been a rewarding experience.
“The Sunbury Unit is a great place to meet new and interesting people while supporting your community,” he said.
“It’s terrific to see a new member develop new skills and do things they never imagined, it’s what makes volunteering with VICSES so rewarding.”
“There is so much opportunity here at VICSES and it’s always great to see new members get involved in the variety of different roles we offer.”
An information session will be held at the units McDougall Road Headquarters on Wednesday March 27 at 7pm. Anyone interested can also visit the website to learn more.
The local unit has been serving the Sunbury community since 1977, by providing rescue, search and rescue, storm and flood emergency response as well as assisting fellow agencies.
SES Sunbury Unit currently has around 75 active volunteers, from all walks of life and all ages located across the state.
The unit volunteers include teachers working alongside electricians, retirees and university students, just to name a few.
The volunteers make a real difference in the Sunbury and district community, from floods, storms, search and rescue, road crash rescue and much more.
There’s a position for everyone at VICSES. Anyone can make a valuable contribution.
