NSW SES congratulates Yasmin Jimmieson, winner of the 2023 State Emergency Service Officer of the Year award at this year’s Rotary Emergency Service Community Awards (RESCA).
The awards celebrate emergency service personnel who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, reflecting the Rotary motto of “service above self”.
Muswellbrook and Armidale SES volunteer Yasmin Jimmieson was recognised for her outstanding work with a whole range of community and youth organisations.
Yasmin accepted the award at the ceremony in Sydney on Saturday night. There to congratulate her was NSW SES Commissioner Carlene York APM.
“Yasmin Jimmieson richly deserves this award,” said Commissioner York.
“Her tireless work for the community in a whole range of roles over so many years typifies the kind of unsung heroes who are the fabric of the NSW SES.”
Yasmin is a full-time university student but has still found time to volunteer as Acting Deputy Unit Commander, Administration Officer, Training Coordinator and Community Capability Officer at Muswellbrook and Armidale SES units.
Yasmin has been deployed across the State to several communities affected by severe weather events. She also volunteers with numerous other youth organisations including Little Dreamers, Young Carer Organisation, One Door Mental Health on Fire Youth Program, and Beautiful Minds Youth Enrichment Program as a Team Leader.
The NSW SES also congratulates all our finalists in this year’s RESCA Awards: Hayden Doolan, Hayden Tarran and Dayna Ingram.
