SAVING LIVES ACROSS SA BEACHES AND WATERWAYS
Surf Life Saving South Australia (SLSSA) is one of the state’s most iconic and highly trusted volunteer organisations, working tirelessly on the frontline, and behind the scenes, of coastal and in-land water safety.
Dedicated to protecting the lives of locals and visitors alike, over 9,000 members from 22 clubs volunteer more than 80,000 hours a year along South Australia’s coastline from Whyalla to Beachport.
From the land, water and sky, South Australia’s passionate and diverse team of surf lifesavers patrol every weekend and public holiday between October and April, while the State Emergency Operations Group (EOG) operate 24/7 response teams consisting of Rescue Water Craft (jetskis), Jet Rescue Boats, RPAS (drones), and the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter.
But the red and yellow flags are just one part of the story. Beyond emergency and rescue services, SLSSA provides surf sport competition, vital training and water safety education across metro, regional and rural locations, and, importantly, a community hub and place of belonging. By taking a holistic approach to water safety, SLSSA strives to build stronger, connected and inclusive communities, and safer beaches and waterways for all.
