Heading to Bunnings this Sunday? 🛠

Come down between 10am and 12pm to also get your licence plate screws changed.
Did you know that once someone steals your licence plates, they often use them to commit crimes, such as fuel theft and speeding?
Plus, you then have to pay to get your plates replaced!

Save yourself the hassle by coming down to Sunbury Bunnings between 10am and 12pm on Sunday 18th and let us switch out your regular screws for anti-theft screws for free.

We hope to see you there 🧡🚘

Not sure what to do this weekend? 🤔

Why not support your local SES by coming down to the corner of Horne St and Gap Rd tomorrow, the 17th, between 8am and 4:30pm?

We will be holding another Tin Rattle to help raise funds to keep our equipment and vehicles safe and ready for the next emergency. Our amazing volunteers are giving up their Saturday to help keep Sunbury safe.
So come say hi, and feel free to bring any spare change you have lying around.

Thanks for your continued support. We will see you there! 🧡💙

🔒 Protect your car from number plate theft—for FREE! 🚘

Did you know that stolen number plates are frequently used by offenders to commit further crimes like petrol drive-offs, toll evasions, and burglaries? It only takes an opportunistic thief 30 seconds with a standard screwdriver to steal your plates, leaving you with an expensive, frustrating hassle to replace them.

The good news? One simple swap makes them almost impossible to steal.

Join the Sunbury SES team at Bunnings Sunbury on Sunday, 18th October for Safe Plate Day!

Our crew will fit your car with anti-theft, one-way security screws for free. It takes less than two minutes, and once they are on, standard tools can't take them off.

Drive on down, say g'day to our volunteers, and drive away with peace of mind! 🧡

🪙 Got a bit of spare change floating around the car console or couch cushions?

The Sunbury SES team will be out in orange this coming Saturday, 17th October, holding a tin rattle on the corner of Gap Road & Horne Street.

If you happen to be driving past, stop by, or catch us at the lights, we’d love a wave! If you happen to have a few loose coins to toss into our tin, we’d be hugely grateful.

Every dollar raised stays right here with our local unit to help keep our team trained, equipped, and ready to respond whenever Sunbury needs us.

See you at the intersection! 🧡👋

💙🧡 Shoutout to Local Legends! 🧡💙

When Sunbury SES has the community covered, it’s amazing local businesses like Sutton Security & Electrics that have ours!
On short notice, the team at Sutton stepped up and replaced two of our unit's essential LED floodlights—completely free of charge.

Having reliable lighting at our unit is critical to keeping our operations running smoothly and safely, especially during night-time emergency callouts. Generous acts of support like this mean the world to our volunteer crew.

A massive thank you to the team at Sutton Security & Electrical for looking out for us so we can keep looking out for Sunbury! 🧡👏

If you’re going camping this school holidays, think about the conditions when you set up and plan for what you’ll do if a storm or flood happens.

Our tips:
🌈 Set up your camping site under a clear sky away from trees and branches.
🏔️ Camp on higher ground away from creeks, rivers, streams and other waterways.
📋 Find out what your camping ground’s emergency plan is.
📱 Set a watch zone which includes your camp site on the VicEmergency app so you are alerted to relevant warnings.

👏 A big thank you to the team at ClearView Accessories in Craigieburn!

Sunbury SES was fortunate to be one of the units selected to receive a fridge slide generously donated by ClearView as part of their support for VICSES units.

The slide will be fitted to our Search and Rescue Trailer, helping us better support our volunteers during missing person searches and other extended operations — often when crews can be working in the field for many hours.

These practical pieces of equipment make a genuine difference to how we look after our volunteers while they’re out supporting the community.

A huge thank you to Steven and the team at ClearView Accessories, Craigieburn, for making these fridge slides available at no cost to SES units. It’s a simple but incredibly useful contribution that will be put to very good use here in Sunbury.

🧡 Thank you for backing our volunteers and supporting the work we do in the community.
