22.01.2022 Surf Life Saving NSWs official write up on the rescue performed off Easts Beach on Sunday. Appropriate PPE and the quick response of our emergency response unit allowed a successful rescue to be carried out in the dangerous conditions.

20.01.2022 Today at 14:50 members of the public notified Surf Rescue 50s Crew who where on standby at base at Kiama Harbour regarding a POI (Person of Interest) in distress 1.5km off the harbour. Surfcom was notified and Surf Rescue 50 was quickly launched with the 3 to 4 foot surge at the boat ramp making the launch difficult. Sr50 shortly after reached the patient navigating the 5 meter swell to do so. After getting the POI aboard the crew then took the POI to the harbour and assisted ashore. Afterwards the crew waited for additional resources to retrieve the vessel in the swell. A successful job done in less than ideal circumstances

10.01.2022 The ORRCA Rescue team have had a sighting of an entangled Humpack this afternoon. Sighted off Winding the whale was seen with an orange bouy attached to the animal. The whale could be located anywhere between the Sydney area or as far south as Nowra. So if you see this whale, please call the ORRCA Rescue asap on 02 9415 3333.

You must stay at least 100m away at all times, 300m if they have a calf. If the animal is entangled a 500m exclusion zone applies.

10.01.2022 If you stay home and stay safe, we stay home and stay safe. One way to slow the spread of viruses, such as coronavirus, is social distancing (also called physical distancing). The more space between you and others, the harder it is for the virus to spread. #staysafestayhome
