VICSES 2022:
Thanking our incredible volunteers
We are now seeking applicants for Unit Controller and Deputy Controller for our new Aintree, Cranbourne, Officer and Point Cook Units.
VICSES is celebrating its young volunteers this International Youth Day and the contributions they make to units across the state.
"Many of our unit members are avid hikers and put those skills to use, to find those who are lost.”
"VICSES has long recognised the high standard of service provided by SS&RS."
“Volunteers join the service because they have a driver: something they want to get out of it.”
A road map for the next four years at VICSES.
"Several new builds are now in the pipeline, across the state."
For World Youth Skills Day we look at one VICSES junior member's journey, to a transformative future.
"As it had only blocked an adjoining driveway, the volunteers were able to preserve the trunk."
"Avoid camping along rivers and creeks where flood watches and warnings are out."
“The seamless work between our agencies was fantastic.”
"Winning this award speaks to the skill of our volunteers, and the quality of our training."
"VICSES’ message for the rest of winter is to always be prepared, but not alarmed."
"An emerging leader at VICSES may already play that role in the other parts of her life."
“The days of getting a flyer in the mail or seeing something in the paper are gone."
"He has exemplified leadership, direction, emotional guidance and support to others."
"Our members, through their support, play a vital role in saving lives."
“The majority of calls were for walkers who didn’t have a headlamp and became lost after dark."
"Our volunteers need you to get Disaster Ready too.”
"VICSES thanks Wilson Group and all employers who provide leave for our volunteers."
