Certainly a dark and moody sky over Sydney city and the eastern suburbs late this afternoon, although the forecast suggests these clouds are only likely to bring showers.

Happy National Volunteer Week everyone! 🧡

Across NSW, 4.9 million people volunteer, and we are proud to have around 11,000 of them in the NSW SES.

All our volunteers play a vital role, whether they are on the frontline, supporting operations, or helping their team behind the scenes.

This year’s theme, ‘Your year to volunteer’, is a great reminder of the impact volunteering has, not just on communities, but on each other. We are constantly inspired by the dedication of our members.

Thank you to all our volunteers for showing up, supporting one another, and making a difference every day.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of two Marine Rescue volunteers up at Ballina overnight. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and volunteers at Marine Rescue.

Last night was the darkest night ever experienced by Marine Rescue NSW.

Marine Rescue NSW volunteers answer the call for help 24/7 and last night six members from Marine Rescue Ballina did just that. They launched with a single mission, to save lives on the water and assist a yacht, reported to be in difficulty off the South Ballina break wall.

Tragically, two of our volunteers lost their lives during the response.

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Todd Andrews said the devastating loss is a solemn reminder of the risks faced by volunteers who serve their communities.

“These two men were serving their local community and have made the ultimate sacrifice to help others.

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of the deceased, their fellow crew members, the brave radio operators who handled the difficult communications during the incident, the entire Marine Rescue NSW family and the wider Ballina community during this incredibly difficult time.

“We are supporting our volunteers and their families through professional counselling and chaplaincy support.

“We ask that the privacy of those involved and their families be respected during this difficult time,” Commissioner Andrews said.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. Lest we forget.
