Anne-Marie joined as an SES volunteer in 1998 and moved through the ranks to become the first female team leader in the Redland City SES Unit.

She is a Leading Field Operations Officer who has been involved in the Unit’s recruitment and training program for many years, empowering members with the skills and confidence to succeed as she encourages gender equity.

Anne-Marie’s passion is first aid and she has created a strong focus on training and mentoring within this space.

She has been mentoring women in the Redland City SES Unit for more than 25 years, encouraging them to step up. The Unit now has more than 40 female volunteers.

Anne-Marie Bennett has received the Women in Fire and Emergency Services Award.

Tim has been a member of the Redland City SES Unit since 2014.

He is a Leading Field Operations Operator and has assisted members within the Unit as well as across Queensland and interstate as a Peer Support Officer (PSO).

Tim is the PSO Co-ordinator for Brisbane Region and plays a key role in supporting the network of PSOs.

Redland City SES Unit will be recruiting new members in April.

Information on how to apply to become a SES volunteer is available on the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services website.
