NSW SES Camden Unit

NSW SES Camden Unit In 1957 Bruce Ferguson was appointed the controller of the organisation. The main operational activities at the time were related to flooding.

Mr Ferguson remained controller for 17 years, in which a basic flood warning system for the Nepean River was developed and a flood boat was obtained as a gift from the local Apex Club.

60 years since the formation of the Camden Civil Defence Organisation, Camden SES Unit has become an integral component of the developing Camden community. Since Mr Ferguson, there have been 6 controllers of the

unit. In 2011, the Camden Unit relocated from John Street, Camden to their current headquarters on Queen Street, Narellan. The unit has grown to have over 40 active members, who are all volunteers. Camden SES works closely alongside other agencies and has continuous support from Sydney Southern Region and NSW SES State Headquarters.

🔸 1. Prepare early
Choose one job to do this weekend, such as clearing your gutters, checking your roof or preparing your emergency kit.

🔸 2. Stay informed
Before the next warning, download Hazards Near Me NSW and know where to find trusted information.

🔸 3. Act safely
When severe weather arrives, follow official warnings and advice and make safety your priority.

👷🏼AROUND THE COMMUNITY🦺

Bright and Early Sunday morning, two of our members made their way to Oran Park to represent Camden SES at The Hindu Volunteer Association’s (Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh) annual festival, Raksha Bandhan

This festival is to acknowledge protectors in and round the community, their version of the tradition is to thank Emergency Services (SES, Fire & Rescue, Police) who serve and protect the community with courage and dedication.

Camden SES thanks the members of the Hindu Volunteer Association (Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh) for their invitation and acknowledgement of our services.

👷🏼TUESDAY NIGHT TRAINING🪜

Rain, Hail or shine, our members are always prepared for worst case scenario.

Tonight, some of our members who are in the process of their Storm training have been given a first look into the types of weather they could be up against when they go out and assist the community during major storm events.

Our number one mission here at Camden SES is to make sure all of our members are safe and well taken care of during their training and when they’re out on jobs.

Want to see yourself in our iconic orange, come on down to our information night:
- Tuesday, 29th of September 2026
- 7:30pm to approx. 9pm
- At 21 Queen Street Narellan, NSW (Just up from the Medical Centre)

🦺WELLINGTON WOMBATS🧗‍♂️

3 members of Camden SES were lucky enough to spend last weekend in Wellington Caves as apart of the annual Wellington Wombats training exercise.

Over 2 days, our members and 100 more from across NSW, climbed, crawled and descended through the caves, practicing rope systems, causality management and rescue techniques in dark, tight, unfamiliar spaces.

Training in these areas might seem strange for an Emergency Service that mainly handles water based rescue, however these cave systems offer our members the opportunity to practice vertical rescue and build capability in realistic rescue situations.

If you wanna see yourself in orange, come to our information night on the 29th of September - 7:30pm to 9pm - SES Camden Unit Headquarters - 21 Queen Street Narellan
