Nowingi Place will again be the place to be on Thursday 5 June, with the Mildura Emergency Services Day returning for a second consecutive year to showcase local Emergency Service organisations and the variety of roles available.
Aimed primarily at students in upper primary, high school and beyond, the free event is open to community and will run from 9.30am to 2.30pm.
Councillor for Community Development and Gender Equity Katie Clements said Council was once again partnering with local emergency service organisations to deliver this unique event.
"The Mildura Emergency Services Day aims to build a better prepared and more resilient community, while providing an opportunity for pathway guidance and future job opportunities," Cr Clements said.
"The 2025 day will look to build on our inaugural 2024 event, which saw hundreds of local school children and community members enjoy everything on offer.
"If you're looking for a career in emergency services, or even interested in volunteer opportunities to support our local communities, then this is an event not to be missed."
Agencies in attendance and activities on the day include:
- Victoria Police and NSW Police
- Fire Rescue Victoria
- Country Fire Authority
- Rural Fire Services
- Northern Mallee Local Learning and Employment Network
- Ambulance Victoria
- Emergency Recovery Victoria
- Victoria State Emergency Services
- Australian Red Cross
- Mildura Life Saving Club
- Community RoadSafe Mildura
- Mildura Rural City Council
Included will be a jaws of life demonstration from 10.30am and 1pm, a ninja course and an opportunity to learn more about how drones are utilised by local services.
The Mildura Emergency Services Day is being delivered thanks to funding from Emergency Recovery Victoria to build a better prepared and more resilient community, while providing career guidance and volunteer information.
