🔎 Searching, learning and working together!

SES volunteers from Burdekin Unit State Emergency Service , State Emergency Service Halifax & Ingham Groups , Townsville SES Unit Qld State Emergency Service and Charters Towers have come together in Charters Towers to develop and practise their land search skills.

Members are putting their skills into action, practising search techniques, observation, communication and teamwork while learning from each other in a practical field environment.

Bringing volunteers from across the region together builds capability, strengthens teamwork and helps ensure our crews are ready to work effectively together when called upon.

🧡 Great skills. Great teamwork. One SES.

Mount Isa SES Presentation Evening – SES Week

As part of SES Week Mount Isa State Emergency Service - SES proudly held their Presentation Evening to recognise the dedication, commitment and outstanding service of our volunteers and supporters.

During the evening, we were honoured to present COVID-19 Medals, 5 Year Service Citations and Rank Appointments to deserving members in recognition of their valuable contribution to our local community.

A special presentation was also made to Zonta Rodeo Charity Queen Kylie Vonhoff for her phenomenal fundraising efforts in support of the local SES group. Kylie’s generosity and commitment are greatly appreciated, and her support helps us continue our work assisting the Mount Isa community.

Congratulations to all award recipients, and thank you to every volunteer, supporter and community member who helps make Mount Isa SES strong.

🧡 It’s SES Week in Queensland! 🧡

This week we celebrate the incredible volunteers who make up the Queensland State Emergency Service.

Across Queensland, SES volunteers give their time to train, prepare and respond when their communities need them most — from storms, floods and cyclones to searches, rescues and community support.

But SES is about more than responding to emergencies. It’s about people helping people — building skills, strengthening communities and working together to make Queensland safer and more resilient.

Throughout SES Week, we’ll be recognising the dedication, teamwork and community spirit of our volunteers and sharing some of the people and activities that make SES such an important part of our communities.

🧡 To every SES volunteer across Queensland — thank you for stepping up and making a difference.

🚨 Northern Region Disaster Rescue Training Challenge 🚨

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers, staff and our very convincing “casualties” who helped make the Northern Region Disaster Rescue Training Challenge at Pallarenda a success!

Across six different scenarios, 16 SES members were put to the test, challenging them to communicate, problem-solve and work effectively as a team while applying a range of practical skills, including:

🚨 Emergency rescue skills
🧭 Navigation
⛑️ First aid
🔦 Forensic searching
📻 Communication and problem-solving
🦺 Teamwork and collaboration

The Challenge provided an opportunity for members to put their skills into practice in realistic situations, think on their feet and learn from each other — all while building the teamwork that is so important during real operations.

Events like this simply wouldn’t happen without the people behind the scenes. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to plan, coordinate, support and participate in the day — and especially to our “casualties” for helping bring the scenarios to life!

🚨 Well done to all 16 participants for embracing the challenges and giving each scenario their best.
