Joining MR Brisbane Water Radio Club is a great way for you to show your support for our volunteers and the vital emergency services they provide on local waterways.
Your annual club subscription makes an important contribution to our volunteer fundraising, which is essential to our not-for-profit organisation.
You’ll be helping our unit stay rescue-ready, but your contribution is more than financial. More importantly, you’ll be joining us on our mission to save lives on the water.
Our Radio Club members’ enhanced safety awareness means they are a valuable auxiliary asset on the water, potentially providing extra eyes to help our crews locate a missing vessel or giving initial assistance to a fellow boater in trouble until a rescue crew arrives on scene.
As a club member, you’ll receive a unique Marine Rescue-issued radio call sign. Using this brief identifier will save you time on the radio when you’re contacting us, such as when you Log On, Log Off or want to check your radio is operating effectively. Using the Marine Rescue App is also quicker and easier for Radio Club members.
To become a Radio Club member today and get your unique radio call sign. Please follow the link below.
