We've got some FloatSafe clinics coming up in May, as well as more opportunities to drop off your expired flares.

Attend one of our free FloatSafe clinics to learn how to service and maintain your lifejacket, so you can stay safe on the water. Attendees will receive a $30 voucher from a local retailer to go towards a new lifejacket, lifejacket service kit, or other safety equipment!

Keep an eye out for upcoming FloatSafe clinics.

We've also got more opportunities coming up to safely dispose of your expired flares: msv.vic.gov.au/flares
