Help improve welfare services for seafarers visiting Australian ports

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority  and the Australian Seafarers’ Welfare Council are carrying out a survey to get feedback on the welfare services available to seafarers visiting Australian ports.

“If you are a seafarer who has visited an Australian port, we want to hear about your experience with shore-based welfare services. We also encourage you to share this with your crew, and any industry contacts who may wish to contribute,” a statement from AMSA reads.

Key points:

  • The survey is quick
  • Their is an option to answer only 3 questions or to take the full survey
  • Your responses are anonymous — no personal information is collected.

The findings will be published on the Australian Seafarers’ Welfare Council (ASWC) website.

You can take the survey here!
