A role for everyone
Incidents and warnings
VICSES 2022:
Thanking our incredible volunteers
"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."
"While Victoria is entering a tighter fiscal environment, there is some good news for VICSES."
We talk family, floods, and fulfilment with eight of our amazing volunteers from across the state.
“In the face of adversity, our people are capable of extraordinary things."
"This is the sixth facility to be delivered under the VICSES High Priority Infrastructure Program."
From townships along the Murray to the north and throughout the Mallee: our volunteers are ready.
"The event is also for families and loved ones who enable our volunteers and staff to respond."
"The day focuses on the hands on, practical side of rescue operations."
"Don't fight your fatigue, you won't win."
We are currently seeking a motivated and dedicated volunteer to join our team as the VICSES Wedderburn Unit Controller.
Reach out to your neighbours on Sunday!
"Early preparation is the best defense against storm damage."
“It was an emotional journey."
"I’m a mum, an employee, and - in a different context - I can pull someone out of a car.”
Lisa Emblem talks work, family, and a leading a VICSES unit in country Victoria.
"I had a confidence issue, but the only way to get better is to risk stuffing up."
“It’s never too late to challenge yourself; you might be pleasantly surprised.”
