Monthly Giving

Our monthly supporters, the Guardians of the Surf, play a critical role in our mission. Previously known as Beach Champions, these dedicated donors help us plan for the future and ensure our surf lifesavers receive the essential training and equipment they need.

If you are a Beach Champion and have any questions about the changes, please find more information here or reach out to the Surf Life Saving Foundation’s friendly Supporter Services team on 1800 642 925.

BECOME A GUARDIAN OF THE SURF

Why Become a Guardian of the Surf?

By becoming a Guardian of the Surf, you ensure sustainable and regular funding for our lifesaving operations. Your ongoing support allows us to:

  • Train New Surf Lifesavers: Equip new volunteers with the skills they need to keep our beaches safe.
  • Update Skills of Current Volunteers: Regularly enhance the abilities of our existing lifesavers.
  • Maintain and Replace Equipment: Ensure our equipment remains rescue-ready despite constant exposure to the harsh Australian elements.
Our Beach Champions are an inner circle of committed supporters. They contribute regularly to save lives on our West Aussie beaches all year round.

How Your Support Helps

Your monthly donation directly supports volunteer surf lifesavers, providing them with the necessary training and resources. Just last year alone, our lifesavers performed:

  • 316 Rescues
  • 2,171 First Aid Treatments
  • 60,623 Preventative Actions

With over 23,000 members across 31 clubs from Broome to Esperance, the costs of training and resources are significant. However, your support ensures that surf lifesavers have the tools they need to save lives and keep our beaches safe.

The Impact of Your Donation

Did you know it costs at least $850 to train a new volunteer to the Bronze Medallion standard? Our lifesavers are trained in First Aid, CPR, and rescue techniques, and they must continuously update their skills. The cost of rescue gear and equipment can be as high as $80,000 for a full patrol.
