Member Ed - RESOURCE REFERENCE GUIDE
A GUIDE FOR ALL SLSSA EDUCATORS - LAST UPDATED 2/07/2026
This resource reference guide has been produced to assist our volunteer educators with finding training resources that are relevant to their roles.
The resources are hyperlinked to either the document library in the SLS Hub or other sources. The idea is to have one source of truth and educators must ensure they are using the latest resources by checking for updates regularly.
If you can not access a resource from SLS Document Library, you may not have the required permission levels to do so. For access support, please email member.ed@surflifesavingsa.com.au.
For more information about SLSSA awards and the pre-requisites please review the following document SLSSA Awards & Qualifications v1.4 August 22
TIP: Log into your SLS Member’s Area before clicking the hyperlinks to access these documents.
