Lifesavers Recognised in King’s Birthday Honours
Congratulations to the outstanding members of Surf Life Saving in NSW who this year were recognised for their achievements and commitment to the movement in the King’s Birthday honours list.
What's New in Surf Sports
Caves Beach SLSC maintained their hold on top spot after the penultimate weekend of the 2023 Sharkskin IRB Premiership - an action-packed two days of racing in Broulee.
Our drones caught all the thrills and spills on the Far South Coast. Check out how the event looked from above!
Announcements
Cyber Security Solutions for Clubs and Branches
Ineffective cybersecurity controls pose a significant risk to surf clubs and, in several recent cases, have resulted in clubs losing money. In partnership with Apollo Secure, Surf Life Saving NSW is offering clubs and branches access to some critical online security tools.
This initiative is fully funded by SLSNSW for the first year. Clubs must sign up before 30th June 2023 to take advantage of this offer.
Surf Life Saving Innovation Fund Project Two
It is now time for the Surf Life Saving Innovation Fund to focus on something new: Improving volunteer training outcomes for Surf Life Saving members. For this, the Innovation Fund is posing the following question:
How do we develop integrated training modules that cater to a growing number of volunteers who are familiar and comfortable with digital and immersive technology learning programs?
Submissions for this challenge will remain open until Monday 10th July, 8pm AEST.
