WOW Day! Is upon us 🧡

Today, we celebrate all of the hard work and dedication of State Emergency Service Members all across NSW and Australia, so make sure you wear a splash of orange today.

Wear Orange Wednesday is not just about donning our favourite colour, SES Volunteers give up time in their schedules, to train, to respond and to support the community in whatever it needs.

So for that we say a HUGE thank you to our members here at Camden Unit, across NSW and Australia for all of your hard work and long hours put in to make sure communities are safe and protected when disaster strikes.

This year, Camden SES has had the honor of attending and participating in the ANZAC day dawn service and march in Camden.

Today, we honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation 111 years ago, their spirit lives on through the people that continue to serve or have served in the Australian Defence Force.

We look back on their resilience and courage during this conflict and see that it continues to inspire us, others and generations to come.

Lest We Forget

👷🏼TUESDAY NIGHT TRAINING🪜

This week at Camden SES, some of our newer members have been in the spotlight.

Tonight, part of our unit have started their Storm training, focussing on the ground aspect of storm incidents and jobs. This will lead them into becoming offical qualified members of Camden SES, being able to assist in all major aspects of SES incidents and jobs.

Our newest set of trainees are currently completing their first training course. Job Ready is the very first thing that new members learn about, it asks the questions, what the SES is, how we operate and the things that we are involved with as well as an introduction to the courses that they will learn about later on.
