Becoming a lifesaver is one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself, your family and the community. Not only are you keeping the public safe on the beach, you are also building bonds and friendships that last a lifetime.
To become a Surf Lifesaver you need to be 15 years of age and undertake the Bronze Medallion course. This provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge of patrolling and surf awareness in order for you to participate in lifesaving operations.
