Our Story
Surf Life Saving in Western Australia is a volunteer based not-for-profit community service organisation, providing an essential educational and emergency rescue service to all users of West Australian beaches.
Surf Life Saving is a part of the history, fabric and future of this country. It represents the lifestyle, values and beliefs of the Australian culture. It protects life, it saves life, it promotes life.
We create a safe environment in and around our beaches, through patrols on, in and above the shore and through education and training programs.
Surf Life Saving is the largest volunteer movement of its kind in Australia and exists only through community donations, fundraising and corporate sponsorship.
Surf Life Saving Western Australia comprises a State centre, 31 Surf Life Saving clubs, support operations teams on the water and in the air and around 20,000 members who are all committed to saving lives and positively impacting on their local communities.
