For seven decades, our volunteers have been at the forefront of some of NSW’s most significant natural disasters, including the Sydney Hailstorm, the Thredbo landslide, and the devastating Northern Rivers floods. Today, with a strong network of 11,000 volunteers, the NSW SES continues to provide life-saving assistance during storms, floods, and emergencies.
To commemorate this milestone, a series of events and media activations will be held across NSW in 2025, celebrating the resilience, dedication, and history of the Service.
Join us as we honour 70 years of commitment to protecting communities and looking ahead to the future of emergency response in NSW.
