About this opportunity

As a Radio Operator at Marine Rescue Point Danger, you'll undertake tasks that could include:

• Monitoring a range of channels and listening for boaters in distress
• Search and Rescue communication and coordination support
• Vessel Log On and safety monitoring via radio and mobile phone app
• Vessel tracking
• Broadcast of weather forecasts
• Broadcast of emergency warnings
• Multi-agency communications and liaison

In early 2024, we will be moving to a brand new Search and Rescue Communications Centre within the upgraded Captain Cook Memorial Lighthouse facility.

Why you should volunteer with us

Our mission is to save lives on the water. We provide the boating community with 24/7 marine search, rescue and communication services. Each year, we undertake more than 3,000 rescues across the state and return close to 10,000 boaters safely back to shore.

Becoming a volunteer with Marine Rescue NSW provides you with an opportunity to learn new skills, meet like-minded people and help provide an essential service to the community.

About Marine Rescue NSW

Marine Rescue NSW is an independent not-for-profit emergency services organisation and NSW's official volunteer marine rescue service. Marine Rescue NSW receives financial support from the NSW Government and boating community through a direct Government grant and a levy on recreational boat licences and registration. However, our organisation also continuously relies on our volunteers’ community fundraising efforts, grants, sponsors and donations to support the vital, life-saving service we provide to our community.
