Why monthly support saves more lives
Emergencies don't follow seasons. Monthly giving provides surf lifesavers with dependable funding for training, equipment maintenance, and patrols - so when conditions change or crowds grow, help is already in place.
How your support turns into lifesaving action
Training
Funding advanced rescue, first aid, and emergency response training for volunteers across Australia.
Equipment
Keeping rescue boards, IRBs, jet skis, vehicles, and safety gear rescue-ready.
Prevention
Supporting education programs that teach people how to stay safe before they enter the water.
What you’ll receive as a Guardian:
- Bi-annual newsletters showing how your monthly gift is helping protect lives.
- Impact stories and behind-the-scenes insights from surf lifesaving services.
Donate $16 per month
On patrol, surf lifesavers are always watching out for your family and friends – but binoculars, signage and red and yellow patrol flags help our dedicated volunteers do their job. Your Bronze annual donation is the equivalent of purchasing binoculars, red and yellow patrol flags and a safety sign for one of our Surf Life Saving patrols.
Your commitment, your way
You’re always in control. You can change or pause your monthly gift at any time, and we’re here to help whenever you need us.
