Marine Rescue NSW is our State’s official volunteer marine rescue service, committed to our mission of saving lives on the water. Marine Rescue Ulladulla operates as a unit within the Illawarra Region for Marine Rescue NSW. Volunteers are recognised for their marine skills, experience and commitment to saving lives on the water. This team of boating safety advocates works together, both on and off the water, to provide boaters with the assistance, advice and vital rescue services to help them stay safe on the water. With more than 3,000 volunteers in 45 strategically-located units watching over the State’s most popular boating, fishing and cruising regions, there’s a job for almost everyone at their local MRNSW unit. Our rescue vessel crews turn out in all weather and conditions to respond to emergencies and other incidents. A day’s duties might include a Search and Rescue mission for people overboard, towing a disabled vessel back to port or transporting medical teams or firefighters to isolated and inaccessible locations. Our crews also provide operational support for major activities such as the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, New Year’s Eve fireworks and Australia Day, helping keep everyone safe to enjoy the event.
