Nearly 500 volunteer lifesavers and their supporters have celebrated the most outstanding achievements during a challenging season, coming together on Saturday 26 August for the annual Surf Life Saving NSW Awards of Excellence event in Sydney.

At the core of the mission of our membership is saving lives – the ultimate aim of what all the training, education and dedication represents when we hit the beach.

For Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators, it’s about getting the “right people on the beach”. A simple mantra, but one that takes a lot of effort to put into practice.

Woonona SLSC’s Morgan Clarke has been recognised for more than 12 years of passionate mentorship and service to Surf Life Saving, named the Overall Officer of the Year in a Volunteer Capacity at the Rotary Emergency Services Community Awards.

Congratulations to the outstanding members of Surf Life Saving in NSW who this year were recognised for their achievements and commitment to the movement in the King’s Birthday honours list.

The Surf Life Saving movement in NSW is sustained by the dedication and passion of volunteers – some 76,000 state-wide and many more across the country who often go above and beyond to ensure our coastlines and, more broadly, our coastal communities are welcoming, safe, and enjoyable.
