Prim joined the NSW SES at just 19 years of age, motivated by a desire to connect with others and give back.
“I initially joined the NSW SES as a way to help my community in their times of need,” she said.
Now leading the NSW SES Narrabri Unit, Prim plays an important role in supporting her volunteers and ensuring the unit is prepared to respond whenever the community calls.
“As the Unit Commander, I make sure the unit is prepared for any flood and storm incidents we may respond to,” she said.
“It’s about working together and being ready to help when people need us most.”
For Prim, the heart of volunteering lies in the friendships formed and the shared purpose that brings members together.
“The social aspect and being able to help those when they need it most is what makes volunteering for the NSW SES so special,” she said.
As WOW Day recognises the dedication of SES volunteers across the nation, Prim is encouraging others, to take the step and get involved.
“It is an amazing opportunity to be doing more and to help not only your community, but others as well. You make great friends and memories along the way.
“Never be afraid to try. You will be amazed by what you could achieve,” she said.
