Shark bite kits installed

Shark bite emergency kits have been installed at key swimming locations across Mosman, including Balmoral Beach, Edwards Beach, Clifton Gardens, Sirius Cove and Chinamans Beach, as part of Council's commitment to improving beach safety ahead of the warmer months.

The kits contain critical first aid equipment including tourniquets, bandages, thermal blankets and emergency instructions, enabling bystanders and first responders to provide immediate care in the crucial minutes before emergency services arrive.

The initiative was endorsed at Council's August meeting, where councillors agreed to install seven shark bite trauma kits at popular swimming beaches to strengthen emergency preparedness for rare but serious shark incidents.

The installation is another step in ensuring Mosman's beaches remain safe and enjoyable for residents and visitors throughout the swimming season.
