Water Safe
Our mission is to promote water safety and provide water safety information and services.
Our goal is to promote self preservation. Knowing your abilities and limitations allows you to act appropriately in the event that you come across an emergency on or in the water. We want to help you understand the different aquatic environments and to become equipped with the best way to handle a situation with tools likely to be available at the time of an emergency if it occurs. So you can have the confidence to assess a situation and formulate a plan to limit risk and take on whatever situations that may come your way.

What do I do if there is an emergency in the water? You don't need to be a professional first responder to assist someone in an emergency. If the emergency is in the water going into the water is always a last resort even if your a strong swimmer. Self preservation is the key if you get into trouble then you wont be able to report or help anyone. Assess the situation and check your surroundings (quickly get an idea of what is happening) Contact Emergency services immediately for more details press the calling 000 button. If there are other people around seek assistance. Yell out for help. Keep watching the person who is in distress know the persons location and status in the water. Check to see if possibly there is something you can reach out with or throw to the person to assist them. ( eg. a rope, kick board, pool noodle or esky lid)
