‘On the Same Wave’ is a partnership between the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, Surf Life Saving and Sutherland Shire Council. The program will include communities and surf clubs across Australia with an initial focus on NSW.

‘On the Same Wave’ aims to provide support to young Australians of all backgrounds, particularly young Australians of Middle Eastern background to engage Surf Life Saving around Australia. It also aims to increase Surf Life Saving’s openness and responsiveness to cultural diversity and increase diversity within clubs.

If you are from a diverse cultural background, love the surf sun and sand and are looking for a challenge this summer, here is your chance to make a difference.
