Emergency Call Out Teams / Surf Emergency Response System

The SLS Surf Emergency Response System was introduced in January 2008 to give Emergency Services (primarily NSW Police) a single point of contact to advise SLS of incidents along the NSW coastline. This system enables the on-duty State Duty Officer to be contacted 24/7.

Club/Service Equipment Preparedness

Clubs and services should ensure that core items of emergency response equipment are set up and ready to respond 24/7, including;

  • IRB (fully set up with full tank of fuel)
  • ATV
  • Radios
  • Oxygen equipment
  • Defibrillator
  • Rescue tubes
  • Rescue Boards

Club/Service Call Out Team

Each club/service should also identify and form a team of qualified members who may be available to respond (if available) to incidents at their beach (and surrounding areas) outside of patrol hours and/or in support of an on-duty patrol. This team should be made up of appropriately experienced and qualified personnel who are versed in the relevant SLSNSW procedures and any/all branch/club specific plans/procedures. Clubs are to have a minimum of 6 members on their call out team; most clubs have between 10 and 20 members.
