Ever wanted to help your community in a time of need?

It takes a dedicated, kind and passionate kind of person to volunteer for an emergency service. We are always looking for people who are resilient and community focused to join the squad. We have people from all backgrounds and professions, from accountants to retirees, technicians to truck drivers, farmers to stay at home parents, what you do for work doesn't reflect what you do at the squad. There are many roles you can volunteer for at the squad, from active duties to administration.

Getting Started

Does this sound like you? Our new member information sessions are a great way to find out more about volunteering, view our facilities, meet the team, and ask any questions you may have. New Member Information sessions are held on the first Monday of each month (excluding January) from 6.30pm. To register for the next session, please email admin@sheppartonrescue.com.au

Police Check

All members must undergo a Police and Working with Children Check before volunteering with Shepparton Search and Rescue. We can help you arrange this during your induction.

Physical Fitness for Role

A National Minimum level of fitness for operational members must be met. Tasks involve hiking, general fitness and weightbearing activities. Further information on this is provided during the New Member Information Sessions.

Operational

If you want to get in and get your hands dirty then operations may be for you. With class leading training provided, you will then be able to assist in flood events, storms, land search, boating and road crash rescue.

Admin

It takes a lot of time and effort behind the scenes to keep the squad running and we are always on the lookout for help with accounts, catering, grants, funding, reporting, maintenance and housekeeping.

Education

Is getting the message out your thing? Community engagement is a key component of education and storm preparation events in the region.
