Lifejackets for Hire in SE Aus?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know a reputable place to get aviation lifejackets from for short term hire in SE Aus (Melb/VIC/ACT/SE NSW)??

I would like a place that keeps them serviced etc rather than just 'get them out of the back closet and dust them off'.

Wonder why you'd need "aviation" lifejackets, after all if you put them to use you ain't aviating any more.

Odd that.

How many do you need? I know a plane that i regularlie go on that has over 100 of them on board, but I need to know how many because I can only get you 1 of them each day if I start today.

You could try Skylines at Moorabbin Airport. I remember they used to hire out headsets and other bits and pieces and probably still do.

If Adelaide is SE Aus enough then try Hoot and the rest of the life support guys at National Jet, scratch that we're supposed to call National Jet Cobham now.
