As an SES volunteer you are part of a team of some 10000 well-trained professionals who share your committment to helping the community.

To become a volunteer you need to be aged 18 and over. Some Units will take volunteers from age 16 but there are restrictions on their training and activities.

Most SES Units have regular orientation nights that you can attend to see if the SES is right for you. Contact your local SES to find out when their next scheduled intake is. The details of your nearest unit can be found in the Local White Pages telephone directory under State Emergency Service.

If you decide that the SES is for you the Unit Controller will give you a Membership Application Package. You should then complete the Application for Membership or Transfer and attend an interview with the Controller. You will need to bring to your interview 100 points of identification and to consent to a criminal history record check. Once you have received a letter of advice regarding this check you may commence training with your local SES Unit.
