Congratulations to the members of Surf Life Saving NSW who have been named in this year’s King’s Birthday Honours list.
Surf Life Saving NSW members and initiatives will contest four categories at the upcoming NSW Community Sports Awards, while one of the faces behind country surf sports’ greatest success story of the 2020’s will be recognised with a Distinguished Service Award.
Surf lifesavers from across the state have responded to the extreme weather event which affected the Mid North Coast in May, lending support to NSW SES and other emergency service agencies in rendering assistance to flood-ravaged communities in the area.
The incredible efforts of a select group of volunteers, known as the North Coast Roving Patrol team, have helped the regional Branch to maintain a high standard of lifesaving on local beaches throughout the season.
Mia Jamal of Avoca Beach SLSC and Max McDermott of Warriewood SLSC have been named the 2025 NSW Junior Lifesavers of the Year after three days of team building and leadership development on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The exciting future of drone operations in emergency response continues to evolve, with a partnership between Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) and Babcock Australasia (Babcock) exploring a series of short and long-term goals for the lifesaving technology.
Coogee SLSC and Maroubra SLSC are the biggest beneficiaries of the latest round of funding through the NSW Government’s Surf Club Facilities Grant – two in a total of 38 clubs to share in a pool of $5.4 million this year.
There may not be a truer definition of ‘beyond the flags’ lifesaving than that of Greg Tuchin’s first aid assistance rendered some 8,000km from his home club of Woonona SLSC and, perhaps more interestingly, more than 30 degrees Celsius below what he’s used to in the peak of summer.
22 of the state’s brightest young lifesavers will come together on the Northern Beaches in April for the Junior Lifesaver of the Year (JLOTY) Program.
