Our very own Alex Yuskan attended the SES State Awards over the weekend as a finalist in the SES Young Member of the Year, having recently been awarded Central Region Young Member of the year.

We are extremely proud of what Alex has achieved and will continue to bring to the Whitsunday SES unit and wider SES community.
Alex has been an active member for nearly 3 years now, having joined at the age of 16. He has recently completed his Flood Boat certification and is looking at continuing to expand his skills with many more courses and qualifications through SES. Alex never hesitates when an activation comes through and is always willing to help others when needed.

Whitsunday SES would like to congratulate all the finalists on their awards and representing their regions with pride.
Our future is looking very bright with all of these wonderful young volunteers stepping up to the call.

SES week 2026 is here.

Thank you to our volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure they are always ready to assist our community when needed.

This weekend we celebrate ALL our volunteers 🧡🧡

SES Week 🧡

Today marks the start of SES Week, and we want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank our amazing SES volunteers.

We see the time you sacrifice to support your communities — responding when help is needed, often at all hours and in challenging conditions.

But we also recognise the many hours that happen behind the scenes. The training, planning, meetings, administration, equipment checks, fundraising and preparation that so many people never see.

Every one of those hours helps ensure our communities are safer and better prepared.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we thank you. 🧡

Happy SES Week to all our incredible volunteers! 👏🧡
