Marine safety agencies

On 1 July 2018, we started delivering services to operators and crew of domestic commercial vessels instead of your local marine safety agency.

Your local marine safety agency will continue to provide you with marine safety services for local waterways management, environmental management, pilotage, navigation aids, ports, harbours and mooring management as well as all recreational boating services.

Find out more about what services are available from state agencies by visiting their website.
