Surf Life Saving values the contributions made by our members and we encourage clubs and branches to proactively recognise their members throughout the season by using the range of recognition awards available.

Formerly the SLSA Rewards & Recognition Framework. The purpose of the Recognition & Appreciation Framework is to provide a clear and sound understanding of Surf Life Saving Australia’s (SLSA) award processes.
As of June 2024, the framework is accessible via the following link: SLSA Recognition & Appreciation Framework
