Guardians of the Surf

Around the world people are in awe of the coastal beauty and beaches we have here in Australia.

But behind the beauty can lay a danger that many unsuspecting people do not understand.

Lifesavers are there to help all 55,000,000 beach visitors each year enjoy themselves and be safe to return again, regardless of their age, race or gender. But having them available to help does cost money.

That is where Guardians of the Surf help out.

These generous individuals currently donate every month. The regular funds allow Surf Life Saving Clubs to purchase vital rescue equipment and ensure our lifesavers and future lifesavers are trained and educated ready to perform the critical duty of saving lives.

Guardians of the Surf provide continued funding for ongoing costs like training, equipment, First Aid supplies and education programs, without which our volunteer surf lifesavers wouldn't be able to perform their vital community service.

These special donors are in essence behind every rescue our lifesavers make!!
