When was the last time you serviced your inflatable lifejacket?
Regular servicing helps make sure your lifejacket will work when you need it most.
As a guide:
☑️ Every year - complete a self-service check or visit one of our Stay Afloat clinics
☑️ Every 3 years - have it professionally serviced by an accredited provider
When checking your lifejacket, inspect the cover, CO2 cylinder, auto-inflate cartridge (if fitted) and pull cord.
A quick check now could make all the difference on the water.

It’s been a busy summer boating season!
Our Marine Safety Officers have been out across South Australian waters helping boaters stay safe.
Since 1 October, we checked 1,855 vessels at boat ramps and out on the water, working with the boating community to improve safety and reduce risks.
While most boaters were well prepared, 36% of vessels checked had at least one compliance issue.
The most common issues included:
🦺 lifejackets not being worn or carried
📋 unregistered vessels
⚠️ missing safety equipment
🚨 expired or missing flares
🌊 speeding
Before your next trip, take a few minutes to check your lifejackets, safety gear, registration and safety equipment.
A little preparation goes a long way to keeping everyone safe on the water.
