Training
When you join the Inverloch Unit you will begin your training. Training so you are able to respond to a wide range of emergencies is something that is ongoing and a challenge. You will progress from one rescue field to another building your skills and experience as you go. All members are required to attend 60% of the scheduled training sessions as a minimum.
Safety Advice
Always check the weather forecasts, fuel, safety equipment, and other gear before a trip. Lifejackets, PFDs and buoyancy vests are a must. See the Victorian Recreational Boating Safety Handbook for information on choosing the correct lifejacket, PFD or buoyancy vest and other Recreational Boating safety information on the Marine Safety Victoria website.
Remember that it's always colder on the water and the sun is stronger; extra jumpers, waterproofs and suntan cream are never a waste of space. Never go boating alone.
