Recruiting

VICSES volunteers come from different professions, backgrounds and all walks of life. As well as saving the lives and property of many Victorians, VICSES volunteer members find there are many personal benefits to volunteering. The main thing VICSES volunteers have in common is a desire to make a contribution within their community.

Are you ready for action?

If you are over the age of 18 and have a desire to assist those within your community then you could be a potential volunteer member. You can expect excitement, challenge and the reward of knowing that your contribution makes a real difference. You will need a sense of commitment to the community and commitment to your fellow VICSES volunteers.
