Your legacy becomes part of a future where every life counts — long after today

Leaving a gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision. Many supporters choose to include Surf Life Saving Australia through Surf Life Saving’s national giving program — formerly Surf Life Saving Foundation — helping keep lifesaving services, training, and rescue equipment available for future generations across Australia.

Some do it to honour a loved one. Some because Surf Life Saving once helped their family. Others because they believe no one should lose their life in the water. A bequest is a way to turn what you care about into a lasting impact for people and communities you may never meet.

Legacy Guide

A legacy in action

 
“My father had a very kind heart and liked to help people. Leaving a gift to Surf Lifesavers felt right, because he knew it would help save lives. He admired that they were volunteers — people willing to put themselves at risk to help others.”
“If Dad could see how his gift is being used to buy real lifesaving equipment, he would be thrilled. It makes us proud to know his legacy is still out there, helping people come home safely.”
 
Leaving a gift in your Will is a way to be remembered for the lives you helped protect.

Protection across generations

Your gift helps ensure that children, families, and visitors to Australia’s beaches and waterways are protected not just today — but for decades to come.

Courage when it’s needed most

Your legacy stands behind the volunteer who runs toward the water in a moment of crisis, giving them the training, confidence, and support to act without hesitation.

A name remembered through lives saved

Your gift becomes part of stories that continue — moments where fear turns into relief and families are reunited because someone was ready to help.
