COVID-19 Restrictions - Impact on Surf SportsSurf Life Saving NSW is awaiting further advice from NSW Health and/or the Office of Sport pertaining to the existing Health Orders and whether they will change in regard to mass gatherings and community sport (both in terms of training and events) in the near future. We continue to liaise with key individuals across departments and are receiving regular briefings as part of our involvement in the Office of Sport’s COVID Sport Recovery Group. Due to the current restrictions we are beginning to see event cancellations and postponements for those scheduled to be held early in the season, but at this stage key SLSNSW events are still scheduled to run as planned. As time progresses and as new advice becomes available, we will make announcements regarding specific events. Similarly, all Branch Surf Sports Committees are considering plans for local events. Please ensure that you regularly review the SLSNSW Coronavirus webpage to keep up-to-date with the latest resources, restrictions and advice.
