Welcome to the SES
The State Emergency Service (SES) is a volunteer based emergency service.
SES has a wide range of roles including planning for and responding to floods, severe storms, earthquakes, road accident rescue as well as search and rescue. SES also provides a support role to other emergency service agencies including the Police.
SES also has a major planning role providing support and guidance to Government departments and municipalities, as well as providing an audit role on all municipal emergency plans.
You will find a wide range of information including historical information on SES, current statistical data, useful public safety information, school project resources and much more.
You can also find out about becoming a SES volunteer and register online through the above links to the SES in your state.

My Interests

Emergency Contact 132 500

Call 132 500 from anywhere in Victoria for emergency SES assistance in a flood or storm. It is the same cost as a local call in Victoria (mobiles may be higher).

SES volunteers are on call 24 hours a day to provide emergency assistance if you or your property is affected by a flood or storm.

When you call 132 500 you will be connected to your local SES Unit or an emergency communications centre, where a trained call taker will note the details and dispatch the local SES Unit to the incident.

If you require emergency assistance do not send an email.

Phone triple zero (000) for police, fire or ambulance.
