The Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol SA Inc - A Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Association

​

There are six independently incorporated Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Associations in South Australia.
With marine units strategically located throughout the State.
The SA Police coordinates marine search and rescue operations in South Australia.
The VMR Associations provide a 24 hour response to marine emergencies and assist police with search and rescue operations.

​

VMR Associations and the SASES operate a number of limited coastal listening stations around the State.
These stations provide a listening watch over marine radio frequencies, particularly the VHF network.

Volunteering with VMR
Volunteering with a VMR organisation is not all about being at sea. We have volunteer roles in radio operations,
logistics as well as search and rescue activities out on the water.
