National Safe Boating Week, 1-7 October

by Boating Industry Association 24 Sep 2022 15:55 PDT 1-7 October 2022

National Safe Boating Week (NSBW) is back from the 1st to the 7th of October, reminding boaters of the importance of lifejackets ahead of the busy summer season.

The Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) has partnered with the Australia New Zealand Safe Boating Education Group (ANZSBEG), and representatives of State and Federal government boating authorities to support the campaign. The key theme is to highlight the importance of wearing a lifejacket and ensuring inflatables models are checked routinely to ensure they are 'good to go' and serviced as required.

The aim of National Safe Boating Week is to increase safer boating practices and promote responsible boat ownership for commercial and recreational use.

Whether out on the water to earn a living or just for fun, every skipper/ operator has a responsibility for the safe operation of their boat and for everyone on board.

We encourage all of industry to get behind this important safety initiative. A suite of marketing assets and key messages is available to use in your own promotions and channels.
