Active Crew Membership

Our Active Crew Members attend our Operations Centre to maintain a vessel monitoring service and provide assistance as required every weekend and public holiday from 0600 hrs until 1700 hrs. Crew members must complete basic training within six months of joining. This training includes both theory and practical learning and assessment. On Crew Days, we undertake practical training such as tow-jobs, navigation exercises and emergency procedures such as fire on board the vessel, man-overboard and grounding for readiness for the various search and rescue scenarios that we may encounter. The training is nationally accredited and can be used outside of VMR Brisbane if you wish to pursue a career in the marine industry.
