There’s a role in
lifesaving for everybody
Have you ever thought about becoming a surf lifesaver?
Each and every year, thousands of men, women and young adults across the state line up to patrol Queensland’s coastline, providing a vital community service and saving thousands of lives in the process.
However, off the beach and behind the scenes, there are literally hundreds of other jobs and opportunities available to those who aren’t confident in the water or don’t want to get their feet wet. Whether it’s a surf sports coach, a club treasurer, a BBQ coordinator or a junior activities age manager, there’s a role for everyone in surf life saving regardless of age, gender, shape or size.
Importantly, becoming a surf lifesaver also offers many opportunities both within and outside of the movement.
