Surf Life Saving offers a marketing edge coupled with a strong sense of community commitment that delivers positive results. Imagine supporting an organisation that saves thousands of lives and has an impact on around 30 million beach-goers each year. The opportunity to be a great corporate citizen and partner with an organisation that benefits so many people is unique.

Surf Life Saving Queensland offers a great many advantages to potential partners. Achieve a unique business point-of-difference through a partnership with one of Australia’s most recognisable and enduring community service organisations.

The beach is a big part of Queensland life and a large number of Queenslanders visit the beach at least once a year. However, we need support throughout the year and to engage the community outside traditional fundraising initiatives, Surf Life Saving Queensland now runs a number of fundraising and beneficiary events throughout the year that are designed to engage with the community and raise much needed funds.

Various organisations and community groups throughout the year show their support through nominating Surf Life Saving Queensland as the official beneficiary of an event or activity whereby full or part proceeds are donated back to the movement.

Events can included school cake stalls or mufty days, corporate dress up/down days, social clubs and more.

The Surf Life Saving Foundation is the national fundraising arm of Surf Life Saving in Australia. Established in 1997, the Foundation has grown to support surf lifesaving services in Queensland by garnering community support through the Surf Life Saving Lottery, regular giving programs, and fundraising and beneficiary events.

One of the ways that Surf Life Saving raises much needed funds for our clubs is through the sale of lottery tickets. These lotteries include opportunities to win homes, gold bullion, cars and gift vouchers. We also operate a members and loyalty program, Champions Club, members of which receive double entries into each prize home lottery and automatic entry into our $5,000 weekday prize draw.

This year, the red and yellow army of lifesavers will spend more than 300,000 volunteer hours protecting beachgoers across Queensland.

But we won’t stop there. SLSQ’s lifesaving efforts also encompass beach safety, education and training, emergency response, surf sports and member development.

There is no end to Surf Life Saving. Our volunteers and helicopter service worked side by side with emergency services during Queensland’s natural disasters and flood crisis. And through community awareness programs, we educated over 140,000 children and adults across the state.

We will be at our posts, between the flags and beyond. We will reach into far communities, delivering lifesaving education and planting lifesavers in homes, schools, workplaces and neighbourhoods.

From the beach to the bush. We are Lifesavers of droughts and flooding rains. We are Australian for life.

Our members are volunteers who generously devote their own time for the safety and enjoyment of others. We have been saving lives for over a century and will do so far into the future.

Surf Life Saving epitomises the outgoing and down-to-earth values of Australians. Through our affinity with the outdoors we have nurtured a love for sport and competition.

Through our activities and actions we promote a healthy lifestyle for body and mind.

Young at heart, at all ages.

What we do, we do with a smile. We enjoy caring for the community and forming connections that extend far beyond the beach. We develop meaningful relationships and positively contribute to the fibre of society. We are lifesavers of droughts, cyclones and flooding rains. We are Australian for life.
