About the Organisation
Surf Life Saving Australia, an Aussie icon, serves as the nation's primary authority on coastal water safety, drowning prevention, and rescue operations. With 190,000 members and 314 affiliated Surf Life Saving Clubs, SLSA is the largest volunteer movement of its kind in Australia and globally. Operating as a unique not-for-profit organisation, SLSA relies on community donations, fundraising, corporate sponsorship, and government grants. Since its establishment in 1907, Surf Life Saving Australia has rescued over 715,000 people.
