Our Volunteers, Our Mission

At Marine Rescue Batemans Bay, every life saved on the water and every vessel brought back to the boat ramp or marina is thanks to the dedication of our volunteer team, from our Unit Commander to the newest recruit; everyone gives of their time. We are proud to be a unit powered entirely by volunteers who give their time, energy, and expertise to keep our coastline safe. Behind every crew member is a supportive family who enables their loved one to serve, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to them as well.

Why Fundraising Matters

While we receive approximately 50% of our funding from the NSW Government, sourced through boat licence and registration fees, the remaining 50% must be raised by us, through community events, donations, and sponsorships.

This funding is critical to:

⛽ Fuel our rescue vessels
📚 Provide training materials and safety equipment
⚓ Maintain and upgrade our fleet and infrastructure
