Community awards recognise dedication of emergency services personnel

Now in its eighth year, the awards recognise the dedication and service of emergency service personnel and volunteers from the following organisations:

• Fire and Rescue NSW,
• NSW Rural Fire Service,
• Marine Rescue NSW,
• NSW Ambulance,
• NSW State Emergency Service,
• Surf Life Saving NSW, and
• Volunteer Rescue Association NSW.
   

Emergency Services, Resilience, and Flood Recovery Minister Steph Cooke said the awards are an opportunity to recognise emergency services personnel involved in the recent flood emergency.

“The unprecedented storms and floods have resulted in one of the most challenging times our emergency services have ever faced,” Ms Cooke said.

“Emergency services personnel are not only first responders during times of crisis, but they also carry out important work year-round, including community engagement and fundraising.”

Nominations close Tuesday, 31 May 2022.
