These highly skilled men and women drop everything to help when people need them the most. From conducting emergency repairs to buildings damaged by cyclones, storms and floods, to ferrying cargo and passengers across floodwaters, the SES provides a vital service for the people of Western Australia.
They assist WA Police during land searches, undertake aerial and cave rescues, attend road crashes and assist fire crews during the long, hot bushfire season.

AFAC National Emergency Services Memorial
2023-05-12 08:00 - 22:00 | National Emergency Services Memorial, Rond Terrance, Parks, ACT, 2600, Australia
The National Emergency Services Memorial was opened in July 2004 by Prime Minister John Howard, in honour of the thousands of people who have served in Australia’s emergency services organisations. Emergency services is used as a collective description for a wide range of services provided by agencies during incidents and emergencies, and includes career and volunteer workers.
In May 2018, a Memorial Wall was unveiled at the site by The Hon. Angus Taylor MP, Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Security. The wall displays the names of emergency services personnel who have been killed in the line of duty, and honours their commitment to keeping our communities safe. The wall was jointly funded by the Commonwealth of Australia and AFAC, the National Council for fire and emergency services in Australia and New Zealand.
The Memorial provides a place for remembrance and quiet reflection for families, colleagues and visitors. An annual service is held at the Memorial in early May each year to remember those who have died in the line of duty.

2023-04-29 08:00 - 2023-04-30 17:00 | Dryandra Village Cuballing WA, Australia
Planning is well underway for the upcoming Upper Great Southern region exercise. The accommodation will be at Dryandra again and the SES teams will be travelling to a neighbouring town on the first day, Saturday, to take part in a range of exercises. Organisers have a very unique fun and hands-on exercise planned for Sunday.
Kerry said that some of the stands will be using SES skills such as 4 Wheel Drive, Basis General Rescue, Storm Assistance, and Land Search and Navigation (NURE).
“We are still on the lookout for helpers to assist over the weekend; this exercise wouldn’t be possible without the help of our Volunteers”, Kerry remarked. “Several roles need to be filled including welfare and logistics, Safety Officers and SME for stands.
“This year we do have a limit on beds so team nominations will be accepted on a first come—first served basis. “So, if your unit is interested, get the nomination form sent in ASAP“.
Units need to keep an eye on their unit emails for communication regarding the exercise. Updates/sneak peeks can be found on Facebook by searching 2023 SES VA Upper Great Southern Regional Exercise.
