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.

Kids welcome Chelsea SES to their classroom
WARNING; DO NOT CROSS! This morning (31/05/2013), Bonbeach Primary School played hosts to Chelsea SES volunteer members Ria and Phil who were there to speak to the Grade Preps, 1’s and 2’s about what the SES does. This was part of an ongoing theme by the school of “People who help us”. Last Updated (Monday, 03 June 2013 16:18) Thanks Bunnings & DuluxWednesday, 01 May 2013 12:34 | Written by Administrator |
Funny who you see in a Bunnings store?
The Dulux dog was right on the money Chelsea members Ria, Steve and Phil visited Bunnings Moorabbin store in Warrigal Rd this morning to receive a cheque from Bunnings and Dulux for a promotion that ran through Easter at the store that saw Chelsea SES receive a percentage from every can of Dulux paint sold. |

Just A walk in the park?
The magical trophy's for the navigation exercise The Chelsea SES volunteer members took to Braeside Park tonight (8/4/2013) to take part in a training exercise dedicated to navigation. The crew were split into 5 teams and then sent out into the night with a series of clues and maps to locate points within the park and bring back markers. At the end of the exercise, the team with the most points won! Last Updated (Monday, 08 April 2013 23:34) |
