Woodside Jet Ski Program

SLSWA’s Jet Skis are motorised rapid response units that assist surf lifesaving beach patrols and other emergency response units. They provide coastal surveillance services, as well as performing search and rescues.

On call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, our Jet Ski operators can be tasked by surf lifesaving services, WA Police, and other emergency service organisations to assist with rescues, searches, and body retrieval missions.

Emergency responses and more

Initially focussed on an emergency response service, the Woodside Jet Ski teams’ responsibilities have grown. This includes assistance in performing rescues under difficult conditions, as well as early morning surveillance patrols of swimmers along the Perth coast.

Introduced into Western Australia in 2003, the program has grown and continued to see placement of new teams at key locations along the West Australian coastline.
