Joining our Radio Monitoring Team is open to everyone - no prior experience is required. Marine Rescue Whitfords and DFES provide comprehensive training and the opportunity to earn your Short Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (SROCP) qualification.

Our volunteers deliver a vital marine radio service every day of the year during daylight hours, ensuring the safety of boaters along our coastline. As a radio operator, you'll:

• Monitor three marine radio channels (16, 77 and 81)
• Provide the logon/logoff service
• Follow set procedures for overdue vessels
• Coordinate operations and communicate with Marine Rescue assets during incidents

As part of our team, you'll join the Marine Rescue Whitfords family - more than 120 active volunteers who share a passion for safety, teamwork, and service to the community.

Its an exciting time to get involved, as we've recently welcomed a new rescue vessel to our fleet and have also moved into a state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility at Ocean Reef Marina.

If you're looking for a meaningful way to contribute, develop new skills, and be part of a supportive, community-minded team - we encourage you to apply!
