Essential First Aid Guidelines for Marine Rescue Volunteers

Before providing assistance as a marine rescue volunteer, it is crucial to obtain consent from the individual in need. Australian law does not require bystanders to stop and provide assistance, but if you choose to help, you assume a duty of care to act competently. For emergencies, call 000 for ambulance, fire, or police services. Additionally, the Poisons Information Centre can be reached at 131 261. First aid serves as immediate care given to an injured or ill person until professional medical help is available.
