Marine Rescue Queensland Bill 2023
This bill establishes Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ) as a single, statewide marine rescue service, replacing the two existing volunteer organisations that currently provide marine rescue in Queensland. It places MRQ under the Queensland Police Service and creates a clear command structure from state to local level, with standardised training, equipment, and operations.
