15th & 16th August 2026

Last season tested us in new ways — and our club volunteers rose to the challenge. The dedication shown across both lifesaving and education was outstanding. This year, we're building on that momentum. We've been working hard to simplify access, improve onboarding, and streamline administration, so our Training and Facilitation (TAF) community can do what they do best:

develop and inspire members to be valued, capable Life Savers.

This year's conference is packed with practical content, professional development, and the opportunity to connect with peers from across the state. 

Highlights include:

  • Professional development tailored specifically for TAF 

  • Updates from SLSSA and SLSA Education — including SA and national priorities for 2026/27 

  • Deep dives into strengthening and supporting our TAF community 

  • Hands-on experience with assessing online 

  • Annual ART and CPR assessments (required for all TAF) 

  • Long Service Award recognition for our dedicated TAF volunteers
