Recruitment incentives are needed to boost the number of emergency services volunteers to respond to natural disasters and take the pressure off the ADF.

I looked into volunteering for the local SES once (when I was looking for stuff to do with my life after uni) and they turned me down, so actually accepting people who are interested is something that might help with their numbers.

@Tau @MHLoppy

The SES weren't interested in me either.
The RFS actually let me join, after I survived their tortuous multi-multi-month paperwork procedures, then the local clique went out of their way to make the new intake feel unwelcome, incompetent, useless and unwanted.
