The Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) serves as the control agency for flood, storm, tsunami, earthquake, and landslide emergencies throughout the state. It also maintains the largest Road Crash Rescue network in Australia, featuring specialist teams in 104 of its 154 units across Victoria.
In addition to its primary roles, VICSES provides critical support for a wide range of incident response activities, including:
VICSES remains a cornerstone of Victorian community safety. In the 2024–2025 period, the agency responded to 35,940 emergency incidents, with volunteers and staff contributing a total of 342,374 hours to assist those in need.
The organization operates under the Victoria State Emergency Act (2005) and works alongside Emergency Management Victoria (EMV). As a Statutory Authority, VICSES is governed by a Board accountable to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services.
As an emergency services agency, VICSES may undertake temporary emergency repairs to private property or Crown land during a crisis. However, the agency’s remit does not include general maintenance. For minor leaks, superficial damage, debris removal, or the felling of standing trees, residents should contact a professional tradesperson.
