Lifejacket Library
Borrow. Wear. Return.
Our Lifejacket Library provides an accessible and practical safety solution by offering well maintained, size appropriate lifejackets for short term loan. This service ensures that adults participating in rock fishing have access to a lifejacket certified and approved for rock fishing in Australia.
Why use it? A lifejacket is only effective when it’s worn and correctly fitted, not carried.
