Surf Life Saving clubs are always looking for people to help out with occasional work like cooking BBQ’s, helping in the canteen, helping in the shop and various other events.

Education Awards
SLSWA offers education awards that will enhance your ability to assist in first aid or resuscitation. Depending on the fee structure of your club, there is a possibility to learn about and earn the Resuscitation Certificate and Basic Emergency Care. There are no prerequisites for these awards.
You can also complete a Surf Rescue Certificate which will enable you to assist the club with water safety during junior activities and at carnivals. You’ll need to complete a 200-metre swim in five minutes or less prior to the start of the course.
There are many other education awards available to surf club members. Please contact your club to see what is available.
Club Committees
Clubs committees range from junior, youth, competition, education and many others. These roles assist in the running of the different areas of the club and provide updates and information for the executive committee, who oversee the management of the whole club.
