Spotlight on Central Coast at State Awards

Lifesavers on the NSW Central Coast have picked up a quarter of the awards on offer, including the blue-chip Surf Lifesaver of the Year category, at the SLSNSW Awards of Excellence – the culmination of a stellar season for the Branch.

History of the Awards – Membership

Surf Life Saving NSW doesn’t exist in its current form without its members – the hard-working, dedicated faces behind the rescues, first aids and community engagement we deliver along the coastline.

History of the Awards – Youth

A consistent theme across clubs and branches in lifesaving is a focus on growth, pathways and opportunities for our future leaders. Our youth act as a key pillar in maintaining and strengthening our role in the community into the future.
