POINT Danger Marine Rescue will be ready for any rescue thanks to a grant that helped them purchase some lifesaving manikins for their 130 volunteers to practice on.

Deputy unit commander Les Green said the manikins would be used to provide lifesaving resuscitation training.

He was very thankful to Enterprise & Training Company Limited for stepping in and helping out.

"This grant from ETC is fantastic," he said.

"It means we don't have to do more raffles to raise money for the training and by having our own manikins in house we can put all our people through up-to-date training as and when needed."

He said it was important for any business to have First Aiders and it was even more important for the Marine Rescue "because we go out to sea and look after people who could be in all sorts of trouble."

"Our base at Point Danger is also a popular tourist attraction so we can also be called upon to help anyone around here who requires first aid assistance," he said.

Mr Green said Marine Rescue Point Danger requires $160,000 per annum to operate and responds to about 100 incidents per year.

"The unit operates an emergency service radio frequency watch 24/7, and conducts search and rescue operations in the Tweed River and its estuaries, and up to 30km offshore in our two rescue vessels," Mr Green said.

ETC's Gold Coast Manager Maria Mavoa said ETC was pleased to be able to support Marine Rescue Point Danger through the ETC Community Support Fund.

"ETC is setting aside $200,000 per annum through the ETC Community Support Fund," Ms Mavoa said.

"The fund is designed to help organisations improve the social and economic development of local communities.

"ETC is proud to be a not-for-profit company and we are confident the money we are donating will help make a more positive future for our community."
