Ways to donate

Make a donation

Surf Life Saving is a community-funded movement that relies on the donations of people like you to ensure our volunteer surf lifesavers have the training and equipment needed to keep our beaches safe. Donating to Surf Life Saving ensures our lifesavers are rescue ready at a moment’s notice.

Your donation can help provide rescue gear and equipment, train lifesavers, run community education programs and much more. Surf Lifesaving equipment is constantly exposed to harsh Australian beach conditions and must be kept up to date to ensure optimal performance when it counts.
