SurfCom

Tying our network together are the state-of-the-art Rescue Communication Centres (known as SurfCom).

The SurfCom centres on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are the central hub of intelligence for our lifesaving patrols. Lifesavers in SurfCom coordinate patrols, task emergency services, and track what is happening on our expansive coastline using cutting edge technology including GPS tracking systems for all lifesaving craft, UHF and VHF radio frequencies, voice recognition data recording and operate a surf safety camera surveillance system.

Today, SurfCom is the only dedicated surf and beach surveillance and communications network in Australia.
