As the state's peak water safety and rescue organisation, our mission is simple and hasn’t changed in over 100 years; saving lives, creating great Australians and building better communities.

// When you ask any lifesaver what they love most about being part of the organisation, you’re mostly met with the same response “it’s a family!” Today we saw our nation-wide family stand shoulder-to-shoulder from coast-to-coast in an incredibly powerful show of unity and solidarity. The red and yellow has never shone more brightly. Here’s just a small window into some of the pics we’ve been tagged in from many states and clubs.

// Bondi Beach Lifesavers Shoulder-to-Shoulder Silent Reflection --- Tens of thousands of volunteer lifesavers lined beaches across the country today and paused for a silent reflection, acknowledging the profound loss experienced by so many after the Bondi terror attack.

Standing shoulder to shoulder, first responders stood in solidarity with all those affected, those who lost their lives, those who were injured, those who worked to save lives, and the families, friends, and community forever changed by this tragedy.

At Bondi Beach, more than 1000 lifesavers from Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club and North Bondi SLSC and Bondi lifeguards formed a long line on the water’s edge, covering the length of the beach, creating an extraordinary demonstration of unity and strength and an affirmation that the beach remains a place of connection, life, and community.

// As we head into another warm weekend, SLSNSW is reminding everyone to stay safe when heading to the coast and to Stop. Look. Stay Alive.

STOP before entering the water.

LOOK for patrolling lifesavers, lifeguards, the red and yellow flags, rip currents, and safety signs.

STAY ALIVE by not swimming if the surf looks unsafe or beyond your ability.

// Yesterday, an Australian UAV Service (AUAVS) pilot detected 26 sharks swimming off Evans Head during a routine drone patrol.

The drone siren was immediately activated, and lifeguards safely evacuated beach users as a precaution.

Drone patrols began a week earlier than anticipated this season thanks to additional NSW Government funding, with AUAVS now providing extended coverage across NSW beaches over summer.

From now through late January, AUAVS will fly approximately 10,000 hours, operating drones at 50 locations, seven days a week, between Fingal Rovers and Pambula, supported by a fleet of 120 drones and 250 trained pilots helping keep our beaches safer this summer.

The Surf Life Saving community is in shock and is deeply saddened after yesterday’s horrific shooting attack at Bondi Beach.

Not surprisingly, many volunteer lifesavers acted immediately to respond, providing first aid including CPR, to injured victims, shepherding people to safety inside both the Bondi and North Bondi Surf Life Saving Clubs while the attack was still underway and giving assistance to emergency services.

The Police have described the shooting as a terrorist attack. This is an incomprehensible tragedy, right on the doorstep of our clubs and directly affecting our own members and volunteers.

We can confirm that no lifesavers were physically injured in the attack. However, we recognise that traumatic events of this magnitude can have a far reaching emotional impact.

Surf Life Saving NSW is supporting the clubs and those involved with immediate and extensive counselling and outreach services and has extended that support to all members of Bondi and North Bondi SLSCs.

Our heartfelt condolences are with the families and the broader community who have lost loved ones or friends.

We cannot thank our lifesavers enough for selflessly stepping forward during such a serious and tragic situation. The courage and professionalism of those involved make us all proud to be lifesavers.

Our surf clubs have, and should always be, places of safe haven and yesterday’s tragedy will no doubt galvanise our members to come together, support each other and their community in solidarity against terror and fear.

// NSW athletes have progressed to the next stage of the Shaw and Partners Iron Series after two huge days of competition in Newcastle.

The ever-reliable Shane Abrahamson was on hand to capture the action as some debutants performed like seasoned vets and those we’ve seen shine on the stage before proving they havent lost a step.

Performances of note included Lizzie Welborn (Newport SLSC) coming second in the Round 3 Eliminator race, while both Jackson Borg (Newport) and Noah Steiner (Wanda SLSC) are inside the top 10 after impressive weekends.

Onto Maroubra in the new year!

// The spotlight was on Surf Life Saving NSW at the Business Sydney showcase on Wednesday night, highlighting the commercial services we provide which underpin the work of our volunteer lifesavers on beaches across the state.

It was great to be joined by Feroz Sattar, co-founder of Swim Brothers to delve deeper into our valuable relationship that is getting vital surf safety information to the communities that need it most.

Supported, as well, by the Minister for Emergency Services, Jihad Dib, more than 100 business leaders got a closer look at our commercial offerings in the areas of first aid training, event safety, advanced drone capability and professional lifeguard services – proving Surf Life Saving goes far beyond the red and yellow flags.

// Check out the energy and impact of the SLSNSW 18–25 Program!

Earlier this month, an incredible group of young members came together for a high energy, hands on experience designed to deepen their understanding of opportunities within Surf Life Saving NSW, build confidence, and strengthen their network of peers from across the state.

Across three immersive days, participants explored diverse pathways, from frontline roles to behind the scenes contributions, uncovering new skills, expanding their horizons, and shaping their own journey in Surf Life Saving. It is an inspiring reminder of the passion and potential driving our movement.

We cannot wait to see where their pathways lead next!
