State Minister for Outdoor Recreation Steve Dimopoulos said the free clinics were made possible thanks to the reinvestment of recreational boaters’ licence and registration through the government’s Better Boating Fund.

Experts from Peninsula Boat Training will oversee the courses, providing attendees with real, hands-on experience alongside important theory.

The clinic will include a women-only session, with leaders from the Women in Recreational Fishing and Boating Network on deck to provide expertise and support.

State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said the Nagambie clinic will be held on Saturday, October 21 and will feature lessons in trailer reversing, vessel handling and boating basics, and are designed for boaters of all experience levels with all equipment provided.

“We look forward to welcoming keen boaters at Nagambie’s free clinic,” Ms Symes said.

“It’s a great way to learn all the basics of trailer reversing and makes for a handy refresher for those who want to revisit their skills.”
