Sea rescue in Australia

Sea rescue is co-ordinated nationally by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority through the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre.

Western Australia

In Western Australia Sea Rescue groups are mostly volunteer-run organisations that specifically provide localised coastal search and rescue services along the Western Australian Coast. Some are part of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.

The organisation of groups was previously named the Volunteer Sea Search and Rescue Association, between 1976 and 2000.^[1] In 2000 it was renamed to the Volunteer Marine Rescue Association.^[2]
