This week we are highlighting the following:
Volunteer with your Local SES
Volunteering with the State Emergency Service is a great way to get out there and assist your community in a disaster. There are usually lots of different kinds of roles you can volunteer for – you might be helping out alongside emergency workers, creating disaster prevention plans with the council, helping deliver sandbags to areas preparing for floods, or cleaning up after storms. In many states you can volunteer with the SES once you turn 16, but you might need permission from your parents or guardians. See more about becoming an SES volunteer in New South Wales.
You can also find lots of other different volunteering roles through Volunteering Australia.
