About The ACTSESVA

The ACT State Emergency Service Volunteers Association (ACTSESVA) provides an important function by representing the ACTSES volunteers that work tirelessly during the Territory’s natural and human disasters.


Through the Association the SES volunteers are given a voice on improving and implementing changes within the service. In a nutshell the ACTSESVA takes care of Volunteers so they can continue taking care of the broader community.

The ACTSESVA website is primarily to provide information about ACT SESVA’s activities. It is designed to assist in promoting effective conduct and communications between the ACTSESVA Board and its members.
