Help build your community's resilience to emergencies

Emergency Services Volunteers provide support to people vulnerable to or affected by emergency events. You’ll join a team of emergency services volunteers, who can help individuals and communities from beginning to end of an emergency by:

• helping people prepare for possible future emergency events (preparedness)
• providing help during emergency events (response)
• assisting after an emergency event (recovery).

Check to see if any volunteer roles are available in the Emergency Services programs. 

Or give us a call on 1300 733 276.
