Joint exercise boosts inter-agency cooperation

Yesterday a joint training exercise was conducted at the Marine Rescue Botany Port Hacking base on Port Hacking with members of the NSW Ambulance Special Operations Team.

The interagency in-water training was designed to better equip both NSW Ambulance and Marine Rescue NSW members for joint rescue incidents, ensuring both organisations can work seamlessly together when time is of the essence and lives are on the line.

The exercise also helped the members of NSW Ambulance better understand Marine Rescue tasking and processes for future joint responses.
