We need your help!
We need your help! On Saturday the 18th of September, Chelsea SES will be asking shoppers at IGA Aspendale Gardens to sign up and make us your community bennefits bennifactor. For various reasons, IGA have decided to drop their donation from 1% to .5% as from the 1st of September which makes this sign up day even more important than ever. By simply taking the pre registered cards, .5% of every cent you spend at IGA, including the bottle shop, goes to help us continue the work we do for our community. Our new Rescue Vehicle will be on display as well as equipment and of course our members. So why not come down and say hi, check out the cool gear and do your bit to help Chelsea SES.

Welcome to Chelsea SES
Welcome to the Chelsea SES Website. Here you can find out how to join the team, what we do, who we are, and even learn some of our language. There are pictures of us in action and the vehicles and equipment that we use. We hope that you find this site interesting and easy to navigate.
As one of the States longest established units, Chelsea SES performs a wide variety of services including, General Rescue, Search and Rescue, Storm Damage as well as being the base for 3 IRB's (Inflatable rubber Boats) and boat crews for Flood and inland water Rescue.
Our service area is amongst the largest in the Central Region with our borders being, Eel Race Road at Seaford, The Mornington Peninsula Freeway, Springvale Road to Lower Dandenong Road and Balcombe Road to the beach including Aspendale Gardens, Waterways and Patterson Lakes as well as the largely industrial suburb of Braeside.
Unlike some other community emergency organisations, at unit level, the SES is manned totally by volunteers. We currently have approximately 45 operational and non-operational members and are constantly looking for more members to join us. You can find out how easy it is to become a part of our team on the "Join The SES" page on this site.
This site is aimed at every member of the community that live, work and go to school in our operational area. There will be regular updates posted to keep you informed of operational events and any up coming public relations events.
Our aim is to keep you informed about the job we do and the people who do it. Thanks for visiting our site. Stay a while and explore a little, you might just find something you didn't expect.
