Safety
EPIRBS AND PLB's
You must register your 406 EPIRB and PLBs with AMSA. Registration is done online at beacons.amsa.gov.au
A copy of the registration dates must be kept on board.
It is the responsibility of an owner/skipper/person in charge, to ensure that all beacons being used by yacht and crew are registered with AMSA with the correct information.
There is no cost to register with AMSA. Where either EPIRBs or PLBs are hired commercially or borrowed from other boats they MUST be re-registered in the boat or person’s name that is using them, even if it is only for a day or two. All 406 MHz EPIRBs and PLB’s shall be GPS capable.

MMSI
It is recommended that you register your vessel for an MMSI number and provide this information to the Organising Authority when competing in any offshore races. VHF radios are required to be DSC capable.
Any personal AIS units being carried by crew members should be programmed to include the MMSI number of the vessel that they are sailing on.
