Chair of the Marine Rescue NSW Board, Nola Watson, has announced the appointment of Mr Todd Andrews as the new Commissioner of Marine Rescue NSW.

The Marine Rescue NSW Board undertook a rigorous external recruitment campaign to identify a new leader to guide the organisation into the future.

Marine Rescue NSW's strong reputation for professionalism and operational capability attracted a high-quality field of candidates, from a diverse range of professional backgrounds.

"Todd's extensive executive experience across business and Not for Profit organisations, combined with his deep understanding of Marine Rescue NSW, made him a stand out candidate for the role." Watson said.

"The Marine Rescue NSW Board unanimously agreed to appoint Todd to the position."

Following his prior career in finance and international business, Todd joined Marine Rescue NSW in 2018 as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary. He was appointed Deputy Commissioner Corporate Services in September 2021 and has served as Acting Commissioner since September 2025.

Todd officially commenced as Commissioner on 2 March 2026.

Marine Rescue NSW is a volunteer based not-for-profit professional organisation dedicated to keeping boaters safe on the water and supporting local communities.
