About the Rescue Team

After completing a Marine Mammal Rescue Training Workshop, you become a member of the ORRCA Rescue Team and we will contact you whenever there is a stranding or other marine mammal event in your area. If you are available, you can participate as a certified rescuer.

 

If you are registering for a Training Workshop and you're not already an ORRCA member, we will include 12 months of membership for a nominal fee. (Please use our membership form included on this website.) We do this because the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has asked us to make sure that the people we train are all members of ORRCA. ORRCA is the only organisation licenced by the NPWS to assist at whale strandings. So you would not be able to assist if you did not become a member and renew annually.
