Surf Life Saving Australia has over 165,000 members who spend over 1.3 million hours a year patrolling our beaches, ensuring the safety of beachgoers around Australia.
On average, over 15,000 rescues are performed by volunteer surf lifesavers each year and around 65,000 Nippers are taught vital surf safety skills and will grow into the next generation of surf lifesavers. Surf Life Saving at all levels relies heavily on the goodwill and financial support of the community and business to help fund the safety, rescue and education services.
