NSW SES - Braidwood Unit were requested to support police rescue for land search for a missing person down near Windellama, over the 2 days we mobilized 12 SES vehicles and 27 members from the area. We worked in tandem with RFS in an extensive line search, navigating a considerable amount of difficult terrain with multiple items found. Leveraging helicopter, police dogs and other resources, we ultimately found the missing person, albeit with a heartbreaking outcome.

The Goulburn unit has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past 2 days. Requested to support police rescue for land search for a missing person down near Windellama, over the 2 days we mobilized 12 SES vehicles and 33 members from the area. We worked in tandem with RFS in an extensive line search, navigating a considerable amount of difficult terrain with multiple items found. Leveraging helicopter, police dogs and other resources, we ultimately found the missing person, albeit with a heartbreaking outcome.
Upon returning to the Goulburn area, we received another request to assist an ambulance stuck in mud in Bigga, with a 🚁 on its way. Our crew didnt hesitate to support the ambulance service, even though they had been walking all day. Equipped with 4x4 gear, they successfully freed the vehicle and got it back on the road, allowing it to continue serving the community. We are proud to provide aid to anyone in need, regardless of the name Goulburn on the vehicle we will go where needed.

👏We would like to express our appreciation to the volunteers who generously gave up their time to support their community over the 2 days and their ongoing dedication.👏

🥰Today, NSW SES - Braidwood Unit sends our love, respect and gratitude to all the incredible mothers across the NSW SES family.
To the mums serving on the frontline, supporting behind the scenes, waiting at home during storms, floods and emergencies, and the mothers who support our SES members every single day — thank you. Your strength, care, sacrifice and unwavering support help keep our communities safe.
Mother’s Day is a reminder that volunteering is never done alone. Behind so many SES members stands a loving family, and today we especially acknowledge the mothers, grandmothers, carers and mother figures who continue to support others with kindness and compassion.

From all of us at Braidwood we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day

We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident off Ballina Bar overnigt.
Not only the loss of life from Marine Rescue NSW, but also the loss of life from the vessel they were responding to.
This sort of incident is a reminder of what the 000 Community often face every time they answer a call for help, and frequently in the most challenging and dangerous conditions.
We extend our sincere condolences to the families, friends, and fellow members of Marine Rescue NSW, as well as all those affected by this tragedy.
Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
