The clinics are run by the NSW Government and help to promote the awareness of the maintenance requirements for inflatable lifejackets.

Keen boaters are invited to attend the free clinics to be run through a full service check of their lifejacket and general safety advice and information.

The clinics will be running from 10am to 2pm at Callala Bay Boat Ramp on January 14 and at Shoalhaven Heads River Road Boat Ramp on January 15.

Clinics have already run at Ballina, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie with great success.

"We've had a steady flow of people coming through the Port Macquarie clinic which is promising," Maritime North boating education team leader Gavin Beck said.

"The clinics are all about raising awareness of servicing inflatable lifejackets and making sure they're functional.

"There are a lot of people who don't realise lifejackets need to be serviced each year or as often as the manufacturer advises."

Servicing inflatable lifejackets is an annual legal requirement in NSW and inflatable lifejackets require extra care to ensure they will inflate in an emergency.

"The aim of these clinics is to help the boating public service their lifejacket while also providing them with parts that need to be replaced or even recommending a new jacket," Mr Beck said.

"The public are walked through the service check and made aware of how to check their lifejacket will function properly in an emergency."

Dangerous weather conditions along the coast recently have seen a number of emergency situations unfold on the water including the death of a Sydney woman who was pulled from treacherous surf at Park Beach, Coffs Harbour on January 3 and a boat capsizing at Crookhaven Heads on Tuesday January 4.

"The service of lifejackets is very high on our priority list because they can mean all the difference in an emergency situation," Mr Beck said.

"Lifejackets are the most vital piece of equipment in a boating or water emergency and we need to make sure that they function properly when they're needed."

This series of clinics is also the first time boating educators have been able to engage with the public in nine months.

"Because of COVID and travel restrictions we haven't been able to hold the clinics," Mr Beck said. "We're doing our best now to get out there and help the public with boating safety where we can."
