Augusta Marine Rescue Crew Members play a vital role in keeping Western Australia\'s Southwest waterways safe. No experience necessary, and many crew members choose their own level of contribution from junior to senior crew member. As part of a supportive, communityfocused team, volunteers are trained to carry out a range of activities including:
* Assist in search and rescue operations, including helping vessels in distress.
* Support the safe operation and maintenance of rescue vessels.
* Use radios to communicate.
* Operate the group mobile phone to take emergency calls.
* Follow safety procedures and provide first aid or CPR when required.
Volunteering is an opportunity to become an integral part of our fun, hardworking team and offers many benefits such as:
* Ongoing practical training with experienced trainers including first aid, knots, navigation, towing, radio operation and use of life jackets.
* Support, guidance and mentoring from experienced volunteers.
* Access to DFES Wellness Branch (critical incident follow-up, Peer Support Officers, counselling, and chaplain services).
* Meeting new people and enjoying the company of like-minded team members at meetings and social events.
* Applying your skills and knowledge in a challenging environment.
* Building confidence in the support and operation of our vessels including jet skis.
* Contributing to the safety of our local community.
