We see lots of people not wearing lifejackets on the water especially with children.
Its now law that kids must wear lifejackets check specific laws and how they relate to you.
We are volunteers We are not law enforcement but we can and do "promote and advise" and we see DOT are out a lot enforcing.
As for ourselves we always wear lifejackets its group rules we wear them on our boats. Many a volunteer has finished their shift and started to leave the realised they need to unlock the boat and take off their lifejackets it becomes 2nd nature and part of you when you get used to it.
There is no time when bad things happen to put them on, and they can happen in an instant. Over the years we've met and rescued people who told us their experiences which bear out this point.... wear your lifejacket!
I love this sea shanty version of "drunken sailor" DOT posted....

Yesterday, two Marine Rescue NSW volunteers tragically lost their lives after their vessel capsized during a response. Our thoughts are with their families, their colleagues, and the entire Marine Rescue NSW community during this incredibly difficult time.
Events like this remind us of the risks all emergency services volunteers face when they step forward to help others. We stand with our fellow volunteers across Australia as we all process this loss."
