Volunteer Marine Rescue Hervey Bay provides the boating public in Hervey Bay waters with a highly professional rescue service, available on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Our dedicated Rescue Vessel Commanders, crews and Radio Operators are all highly trained, with vessels and crews prepared to go out in all weathers, day or night.
The Squadron operates from its Base at Urangan Harbour, from where it covers an area that stretches from Boonlye Point in the Great Sandy Strait to Theodolite Creek, north of Woodgate ? and east to Long Shoal situated approximately 14 NM NNW of Sandy Cape. Providing this service requires exacting training, and is costly.
Volunteer Marine Rescue Hervey Bay, is as our name suggests, a 100% Volunteer Organisation, dedicated to the preservation of life at sea.
Our Squadron works in conjunction with the Water Police on a variety of activations including Search and Rescue, and with Queensland Ambulance Service on Medivac missions, which can include evacuating an accident victim, or medical or injury patient from a vessel at sea, or from Fraser Island.
On these activations we carry a QAS Officer or Paramedic on board. Membership benefits include reduced towing charge if you need assistance on the water, a copy of our free magazine Rescue One emailed to you each quarter, and in addition we hold regular Radio and First Aid Courses.
