Members Education
We support our members to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their club duties and progress their journey through the surf lifesaving disciplines.
Member education plays a critical role in Surf Life Saving, as it touches every aspect of the movement. Without supporting members with their development, we would not have athletes on the beach competing, members supporting Junior participation, and most importantly, qualified and skilled members to patrol our beaches
You can find all the essential members education resources here including our course catalogue, credit transfer applications, learner portal login and handbooks. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please get in touch.

The member courses are designed to provide surf lifesavers with a structured approach to advance their skills and knowledge. Our diverse range of courses ensures all members can achieve their lifesaving goals, no matter what pathway they wish to take in their surf lifesaving journey.
