Australia New Zealand Safe Boating Education Group (ANZSBEG)
ANZSBEG was established in 1994 following a national review into safe recreational boating and boating safety education undertaken by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
Aim
The objective of the group is to identify national safe boating issues, address them through coordinated public education strategies and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and knowledge.
Members
The group brings together those responsible for the implementation of government policy on boating safety, those with a responsibility for the implementation of national/ international training standards, small craft search and rescue and those that have direct communication links with the recreational boater.
The members of ANZSBEG are representatives of State and Northern Territory government boating authorities, Australian Maritime Safety Authority, New Zealand Maritime Safety Authority, Australian Yachting Federation and the Australian Boating Industry Association. AMSA provides the secretariat for the group's bi-annual meetings and develops and assists funding of education campaigns initiated by the group.
