2015-16 SLSNSW Annual Report by Surf Life Saving NSW

SURF LIFE SAVING NEW SOUTH WALES 109TH ANNUAL REPORT 2015â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16

OUR MISSION To save lives, create great Australians and build better communities.

Today, Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) has members across 129 Surf Life Saving Clubs (SLSCs) and 11 branches who perform thousands of rescues, preventative actions and first aid treatments each year. The origins of Surf Life Saving can be traced back to the actions of Mr William Gocher who, in September 1902 at Manly Beach, defied the law of the time by bathing during the prohibited daylight hours. As the popularity of surf bathing quickly grew into a national pastime, its dangers became apparent. Small groups of experienced, regular surfers began to form themselves into lifesaving bodies to help people who needed rescuing from an unfamiliar environment. As these lifesaving bodies or ‘clubs’ grew in size and number, the need for a united front to raise money and ask for help from local councils and the NSW Government was identified and the NSW Surf Bathing Association was formed on 18 October 1907. The name of the Association was later changed to the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia, and in 1991 it was changed again to Surf Life Saving Australia. Surf Life Saving NSW, formerly known as the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia (NSW State Centre) has operated within the state boundaries of NSW to fulfil the mission and goals of the Association since 1907. Since recording began in 1949 our members have performed in excess of 362,000 rescues.

PATRON’S MESSAGE “Thank you to Surf Life Saving NSW and all its members for their ongoing contribution to the community of New South Wales.”

On behalf of the community of New South Wales, and as ViceRegal Patron of Surf Life Saving New South Wales, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to all surf lifesaving volunteers for their efforts over another busy season, supervising more than 6.8 million visitors at our beaches and volunteering more than 700,000 hours of service. Our coastal beaches and lifestyle are an important part of our Australian identity and culture. Creating an inclusive beach experience for people with disabilities, their families and friends is also essential in promoting equity and breaking down barriers that impact many community members. It gives me great delight to see the culmination of the Surf Life Saving NSW Community Inclusion Project, funded by the Department of Family and Community Services, which has seen three trial precincts established: Pambula Beach/Merimbula, Bondi Beach and Newcastle Beach/Nobbys Beach. Through the Small Grants program, a number of community organisations have delivered projects such as developing an access and inclusive rating system for local services, training workers in the disability sector and running Beach Access and Education days. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the important contribution that the Surf Life Saving movement makes to the community, not only through preventative actions and rescues, but also through many wider social benefits. These include encouraging volunteerism, improving health and wellbeing, providing social and recreational opportunities, educating the general public and promoting important life skills. Thank you to Surf Life Saving NSW and all its members for their ongoing contribution to the community. General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d) Governor of New South Wales

MINISTER’S FOREWORD “On behalf of the NSW Government I would like to thank you for volunteering your time to protect beachgoers in NSW”

I am delighted to write the foreword for the 109th Annual Report of Surf Life Saving New South Wales (SLSNSW). This season was another busy one for lifesavers with more than 6,000 rescues and 157,000 preventative actions taken, along with 14,000 first aid treatments. Tragically there were 53 coastal drowning deaths this year which is the highest number of drownings in recent memory. These deaths occurred outside the red and yellow flags, which highlights the valuable role lifesavers play in protecting the community and the importance of the general public swimming at patrolled beaches. The Surf Rescue Emergency Response System has continued to respond to emergency callouts with 735 calls from NSW Police this year. The number of incidents increased 45% on the last year with the number of rescues carried out through this service also increasing 47%. The NSW Ambulance was tasked to beaches 585 times, further demonstrating the vital relationship between SLSNSW and other emergency service providers. Through the NSW Department of Justice, the NSW Government continued to support SLSNSW programs and operations with a recommitment of funding to the NSW Water Safety Black Spots Funding program for the Surf School Project (Year 3) and Project Blueprint (Year 4). In the third year of the Surf School Project, 3,500 students from Western Sydney high schools were taught surf safety education and received practical education. In the fourth year of Project Blueprint, the coastal public risk assessments continued to take place across the state with the final 29 Local Council and National Park areas completed. This data will be instrumental in addressing the rate of coastal drownings in NSW and is already being utilised to assist the NSW Government identify areas for mandatory lifejacket use. On behalf of the NSW Government I would like to thank you for volunteering your time to protect beachgoers in NSW and to congratulate the organisation on its efforts to educate the community away from the coast with its Wet’n’Wild Nippers program, the Surf School Project in Western Sydney and the Beach to Bush program. The Hon. David Andrew Elliott, MP Minister for Emergency Services

Surf Life Saving NSW | Annual Report 2015–16

PRESIDENT’S REPORT “I would like to thank our volunteer lifesavers who once again ensured there were no lives lost between the red and yellow flags.”

• Securing funding for and constructing the Northern Operations Centre in Port Macquarie, opened in 2015, which is an important regional hub to support our volunteers throughout the north of the state. • The growth and extension of services provided by our professional lifeguard arm through the Australian Lifeguard Service, delivering expert public safety services to coastal LGAs and additional pathways to our members. None of these achievements could have been realised without the skill and commitment of both our elected executive team and the staff of Surf Life Saving NSW. In particular I want to thank CEO Phil Vanny AM for his leadership and vision over the last 16 years.

I’m proud to share with you some of the achievements detailed here in the Annual Report for Surf Life Saving NSW for 2015-16. In my final year as President of this great organisation, I firstly want to sincerely thank all our volunteers and lifesavers who once again ensured there were no lives lost between the red and yellow flags. It is a privilege to be able to reflect on the enormous achievements and improvements which have been made during the last eight years and the esteemed position Surf Life Saving holds in the eyes of the NSW community. As always, we are extremely grateful for the support of the NSW Government and the various departments and agencies with whom we interact or have partnered with on important public safety projects. Thanks also to our major sponsors, in particular ClubsNSW and Stramit Building Products and to our partners at the national level, DHL and Westpac. There are so many success stories from across the organisation, at local club level right through to state-wide initiatives which are helping save lives beyond the flags. I’m particularly proud of the ongoing development of our Surf Emergency Response System and want to thank our hard-working Duty Officers, support services and State Operations Centre volunteers and staff who responded to 650 emergency callouts throughout the year, an increase of 29% from the previous year. It has been extremely rewarding to have witnessed the achievement of a number of milestones and major new initiatives during my tenure as president. Some of these include: • Consolidating the Surf Life Saving NSW headquarters activities at Belrose in 2010 and the establishment of a dedicated State Operations Centre to coordinate communications and lifesaving assets across NSW.

Phil’s accomplishments are many, from spearheading the establishment of the Australian Lifesaving Academy in 2004, establishing the Emergency Response System in 2008, to lobbying the NSW Government to change legislation to the Liquor Act, allowing our clubs to be self-sufficient and generate their own funding. Following many years of negotiations, an historic agreement was reached with the NSW Government to secure standard lease arrangements for surf clubs on Crown Land in January 2016. There is no doubt the strength of the organisation financially and operationally is in large part due to the expertise and stakeholder engagement skills Phil Vanny has brought to Surf Life Saving NSW. Throughout Phil’s tenure, more funding has been distributed to clubs and branches than ever before with a 2321% increase in direct financial distributions to these entities. To my fellow Directors, Advisors and Branch Presidents, thank you for your support. After six years’ service as Director of Surf Sport, Michael Bate chose to step down from the role and I thank him for bringing his extensive leadership and management skills to improving our competition processes and development programs. I would also like to acknowledge the significant and sustained contribution for more than a decade of our Director of Lifesaving, John Restuccia. Together with the broader lifesaving team, John has expertly steered the strategic direction of our operations and it has been a pleasure to watch the great strides we have made in improving public safety in the aquatic environment. It is exciting to see the scope of our activities continue to evolve. Exploring new technologies and innovations such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have the potential to extend our surveillance, search and rescue capabilities beyond belief. These innovations, along with the continued upgrading and enhancement of the capabilities of our volunteers through the efforts of our Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators, makes me certain the future of Surf Life Saving is in good hands. Tony Haven AM President

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT “In the absence of Surf Life Saving services, there would be 320 additional drowning deaths and 234 additional permanent incapacitations.”

The 2015-16 season saw a landmark agreement for Surf Life Saving Clubs with the Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair MLC announcing the release of a standardised lease agreement for SLSCs on Crown Land. This is a significant milestone in the history of our organisation, which sees clubs being offered a 20 year lease term and minimum rent in recognition of the service they provide to the community across the state. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the NSW Government for committing another $2 million in funding under the Surf Club Facility Grant program, which to date has resulted in $22 million in funding being distributed to surf clubs. I would also like to thank the Premier and Minister Elliott for reinstating the Water Safety Black Spots Fund next year and for their commitment to provide funding to Surf Life Saving NSW to enhance our rescue capabilities over the next three years. My thanks also goes to Melinda Pavey, the Chairperson of the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Surf Life Saving for her ongoing enthusiasm and support for our activities. This season saw the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Surf Life Saving launch the Surf Life Saving NSW report on ‘The Value of Surf Life Saving NSW to the community’. This report found that for every dollar invested in Surf Life Saving in NSW, there is a return of $46. This benefit-cost ratio demonstrates the considerable benefits achieved for the community from Surf Life Saving activities. The report also estimated the value of Surf Life Saving in preventing drowning deaths and permanent incapacitations to be $1.9 billion. What is astounding though, is what would happen if volunteer lifesaving services weren’t there supervising beach goers. It is estimated that in the absence of Surf Life Saving services, there would be 320 additional drowning deaths and 234 additional permanent incapacitations. Surf Life Saving NSW continues to take a lead role as a peak water safety organisation in NSW, with the completion of one of the most significant pieces of work to prevent drowning, ‘Project Blueprint’. With funding from the NSW Government’s Water Safety Black Spots Fund, Surf Life Saving NSW has carried out coastal risk assessments at every beach over the last four years. This project has involved assessing 1133 locations (beaches and rock platforms) in NSW, which has been incorporated into mapping systems. This year, Surf Life Saving NSW was able to provide the government with unique insights into high risk locations along the NSW coast with data obtained through Project Blueprint. The introduction of legislation mandating the use of lifejackets at high risk locations along the NSW coast is expected to save many people’s lives. Tragically, this season saw 10 drowning deaths attributed to rock fishing, with the common factor across all fatalities being that not one victim was wearing a lifejacket.

On behalf of the membership and the staff, I would like to thank Tony Haven AM for his leadership and support as President over the last eight years and also Michael Bate for his business acumen and contribution to sport over the last six years as the Director of Surf Sports. Finally, thank you to all our partners, in particular ClubsNSW and Stramit for their support and thank you to all our members for keeping our beaches safe.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Surf Life Saving NSW | Annual Report 2015–16

LIFESAVING SERVICES “We’re pleased there were again no drownings between the red and yellow flags.”

The 2015-16 season was a challenging one, with many different scenarios being put to surf lifesavers who once again did an outstanding job. Some of the issues faced were state-wide like the amount of marine stings which drove up first aid treatments, and the warmer months of February and March which increased beach attendance to over 6.8 million people for the season. There was an increase in emergency response taskings to shark sightings in Northern NSW and to remote areas on the coast like Figure Eight Pools in the Royal National Park. Unfortunately, the drowning toll for the 2015-16 season was 53 which is the highest in many years, significantly up on the previous year (37). The 10 year average for coastal drownings is 39. We’re pleased there were again no drownings between the red and yellow flags. Over half of the drownings (27) occurred further than 1km from any lifesaving service, and close to 58% of the total drownings were outside patrol hours at the time of the incident. Lifesaving Operations & Programs Throughout the 2015-16 season, the Lifesaving team at Surf Life Saving NSW were highly focused on reducing volunteer time by making processes as efficient as possible. This will continue as we strive to be an effective innovative service. Some highlights were: • Patrol Ops app for sign on and sign off becoming more accessible • Webinar training for SurfCom Operators • Streamlined the process for the $300,000 Lifesaving Equipment grant, saving Branches time and Clubs money through bulk purchasing – total equipment value $460,000 • GPS tracking of radios through the update to software in the State Operation Centre • Successful trials of Emergency Response Beacon in remote patrolling and blackspot locations SLSNSW has continued to support branches and clubs with core lifesaving equipment. More than $300,000 worth of frontline lifesaving equipment was granted to clubs, another $57,000 was provided to branches to assist them with operational costs associated with their Support Operations initiatives. The Rescue of the Month recognition program is proving very popular among clubs with a total of 40 nominations for outstanding and deserving rescues received during the year. At a national level, New South Wales clubs continue to be recognised, winning National Rescue of the Month for 8 of the 10 nomination periods. Congratulations to Macksville-Scotts Head SLSC who were awarded Rescue of the Year at the 2016 Awards of Excellence. The Beyond My Club 26+ Development Program was held in June for the second year with resounding success due to the high number of applicants. Feedback surrounding the program was positive with the participants enhancing their knowledge of Surf Life Saving and broadening their perceptions on challenging issues that face clubs by sharing knowledge, ideas and initiatives with other passionate members.

The Lifesaving Exchange Program was held over the Australia Day Long Weekend (23-26 January 2016) with 19 members from 16 clubs participating. The program is in its eighth season with 156 members aged between 18 and 25 participating since inception. The New Zealand Lifesaving Exchange Program has operated since 2010 and provides participants with a unique opportunity to develop and share their experiences at an international level. Darren Moses (Dixon Park SLSC) and Jessica Thomas (Umina SLSC) represented SLSNSW during this year’s New Zealand Lifesaving Exchange Program. Emergency Response and Communications The Surf Emergency Response System had another big year with 735 calls received from NSW Police which were fielded by the team of State Duty Officers. Branch Duty Officers and club callout teams responded to 650 of those 735 calls, which is a massive effort. The team of SurfCom Operators had a busy year dispatching 591 ambulances to incidents and completing over 3,000 volunteer hours assisting the volunteer lifesavers on the beach. The Surf Life Saving Coastal Radio Network continues to play a vital part in surf lifesaving operations and the network has undergone some major enhancements over the past 12 months. We installed a Digital Radio Network in the Mid North Coast Branch and upgraded five other sites in the state; we commissioned four reports for other branches to progress with digital upgrades in the coming years. Continued thanks must go to our partners at NSW Police Marine Area Command, Police Radio (communications) and Polair. Their ongoing professional support and partnership is making a major difference to our ability to quickly respond to emergencies and save more lives along the NSW coastline. We thank all our other partners and supporters, Marine Rescue NSW, Department of Primary Industries, Australian Lifeguard Service, other council lifeguard services, Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter, NSW Ambulance Service and other rescue helicopter services. Working together, we are now able to ensure the closest, most appropriate lifesaving services are notified and are equipped to respond to emergencies more effectively. We look forward to working with these agencies in the future. Thanks must go to the 11 Branch Directors of Lifesaving and your teams for their hard work and continued support and collaboration, thanks also to the SurfCom, State Duty Officers and Powercraft Advisors. Lastly and most importantly we thank all our volunteers on the ground, with the sand between their toes for their continued dedication and commitment to preventing drowning and injury on NSW beaches and we look forward to supporting you again in the 2016-17 season.

AUSTRALIAN LIFEGUARD SERVICE (NSW) “The ALS NSW prides itself on being proactive rather than reactive and the strongest indicator of this was once again the high number of preventative actions that were undertaken by lifeguards.” It is with pleasure that I present the Australian Lifeguard Service NSW (ALS NSW) Annual Report for the provision of professional lifeguard services during the 2015-16 season. The past 12 months have seen the ALS NSW continue to make significant changes and innovations in the way we operate across NSW and it is with pride that I outline some of these advancements below. Contracts and Service Partners The past year has seen the ALS NSW retain contracts with Greater Taree City Council, Port Stephens Council and Parramatta City Council. A noticeable achievement and significant gain for water safety in NSW was the extension of service in the Port Stephens LGA where the ALS provides seven month patrol coverage with the assistance of a Rescue Water Craft (RWC) at each service location. This service has now set the standard for other services throughout the state. The 2015-16 season saw the ALS NSW continue to extend patrol services in conjunction with our contracted partners. Extensions were delivered in Ballina Shire, Parramatta City and Bega Valley Shire LGAs, as well as with Tweed Coast Holiday Parks. It is pleasing to see our partners recognising the value of the service we provide to their communities and continuing to work with us to achieve one of our key strategic objectives – reducing coastal drownings in NSW. The ALS NSW once again conducted a survey of our contracted partners following the 2015-16 season to gather feedback on the services we provide. A key finding from this survey was that all contract partners would highly recommend, or recommend our services to other councils or regulatory bodies. This is an outstanding result and reflects the high benchmark of service the ALS NSW is committed to provide its partners. The outcome of this survey confirms that the ALS NSW goals are consistently being met. The ALS NSW thanks all our council and other contract partners for recognising the importance of providing quality professional lifeguard services to their local communities and visitors. The ALS NSW looks forward to continuing to provide a high level of service to all our contract partners, a number of which have now been in operation for over 29 years. Improved Communications In 2015-16 the ALS NSW led a national project to develop a new ALS website that provides both our lifeguard staff and potential business partners with a simple, fresh and easy-to-use online experience. We demonstrated that by working together with our state ALS counterparts, we were able to produce a website that reflects the professional breadth of each state’s individual business. The feedback received from our lifeguard staff, industry partners and potential business partners is that this website is something that we can be proud of and is reflective of the professional nature of the ALS throughout Australia.

Lifeguard Operations Lifeguards across NSW during the 2015-16 season were kept busy and were required to deal with a variety of challenging conditions. The season saw more than 4.13 million people visit our patrolled locations. Throughout the season 321 employed lifeguards performed approximately 76,700 patrol hours, conducted 830 rescues, more than 254,000 preventative actions and 6460 first aid treatments. The ALS NSW prides itself on being proactive rather than reactive and the strongest indicator of this was once again the high number of preventative actions that were undertaken by lifeguards. These actions meant that lifeguards performed 50 less rescues over the course of the season. The professionalism that our lifeguards continue to exhibit and the enthusiasm they show for the job means the public can confidently rely on the highest level of service and safety when enjoying the beach. The ALS NSW continues to play a leading role in the 24-hour surf emergency callout system, working closely alongside volunteer surf lifesavers and strategically located Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services. The ALS NSW has also been proactive in working with the SLSNSW Lifesaving team and the Department of Primary Industries to support the NSW Government-funded Shark Management Strategy. Once more the ALS NSW thanks all our contract partners, SLSNSW branches and clubs for their ongoing support. We look forward to continuing to build on these strong relationships and the foundation that has been forged over numerous seasons. Brent Manieri ALS NSW Manager

AUSTRALIAN COASTSAFE (NSW) “The project has increased the focus on community safety which in turn reduces the likelihood of risks and hazards going unnoticed and incidents occurring.” Australian CoastSafe (NSW) Since 2012, SLSNSW through Australian CoastSafe has been working on Project Blueprint, assessing and reporting on every accessible beach and rock platform in each of the 30¹ coastal Local Government Areas (LGA) in NSW. This year marks the end of the four-year project where an overall 1736km of coastline comprising 1133 beaches and rock platforms were assessed. In the final year assessments were provided to local, regional and state land management authorities covering the LGAs of Great Lakes, Greater Taree, Kempsey, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Port Macquarie and Port Stephens. In addition to Project Blueprint, services were also provided in non-coastal environments and internationally. CoastSafe contributes toward the following strategic goals of SLSNSW: • To reduce the rate of drowning in New South Wales. • To extend lifesaving coverage to match community needs and the expectation of all stakeholders. • To ensure we remain the recognised peak body for beach and coastal public safety. • To enhance our relationship with all levels of government to promote the value of the organisation. • To be adaptive, flexible and move with change.

Project Blueprint The project commenced in 2012 with funding support from the NSW Ministry for Police and Emergency Services through the Water Safety Black Spots Fund and was completed in June 2016. Coastal public safety risk assessments identify gaps in the International Life Saving Federation’s drowning prevention framework and prioritise drowning prevention strategies based on evidence and consultation. As at 30 June 2016, there have been 459 coastal drowning deaths in NSW since 1 July 2004. An average of 38 people drown in coastal waters every year in NSW accounting for almost 40% of the national coastal drowning toll 2. Rock fishing continues to be over represented in NSW drowning statistics. This year, SLSNSW has assisted the NSW Government with efforts to introduce legislation to mandate the use of lifejackets for people rock fishing in high risk locations. Project Blueprint has provided the government with unique insights supported by the data from the project. The introduction of legislation mandating the use of lifejackets at high risk locations along the NSW coast is expected to save lives and reduce the exposure to unnecessary risk for surf lifesavers responding to search or recovery efforts. Over the four years of this project we have worked with 29 coastal councils and one State Conservation Area, comprehensively assessing 1736km of coastline. To date, 1133 locations (beaches and rock platforms) have been reported on. A vast amount of spatial data has been collected on aspects of the coast that contribute to the risk of drowning including data on 25,107 identified coastal hazards, 5779 coastal access points, 14,811 coastal signs, 355 items of rescue equipment and 14,923 coastal facilities such as picnic areas and amenities. All collected data is geocoded and analysed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and incorporated into mapping systems for Land Managers. This data will also be used to enhance both Surf Life Saving and emergency services response and planning and will also be incorporated into the Australian Beach Safety and Management Program. Data is presented in a manner consistent with ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines, providing Land Managers with a prioritised treatment plan consisting of options for implementation. The project has increased the focus on community safety which in turn reduces the likelihood of risks and hazards going unnoticed and incidents occurring. Outcomes in addition to lives saved, include reduced duplication, reduced costs, improved joint-operations and partnerships between stakeholders and long-term sustainable and effective drowning prevention strategies.

¹Due to Council amalgamations the number of coastal Local Government Areas changed in 2016 following the completion of Project Blueprint. 2 93 people drown on average each year around the Australian coast (2004-2014)

This research has been used to deliver outcomes across all aspects of the drowning prevention framework, including: • To support the delivery of education and awareness programs to high risk communities such as Sydney’s Western suburbs. • Modified access to improve exposure to standardised aquatic warning signage and also discourage access to extremely hazardous locations and encourage access to more suitable locations. • Identification of inconsistent approaches to the provision of warnings by different land management authorities. • An Emergency Marker System for coastal areas to improve emergency response. • Efficiencies in lifeguard services across the state, including providing lifeguard services at new locations or extensions to the duration of existing patrol services. • Auditing of existing public rescue equipment and identification of potential locations.

Aquatic Risk Management Services In addition to Project Blueprint, Australian CoastSafe (NSW) also provides a ‘for fee’ service to land management authorities, developers, insurers, events and tourism operators. In 2015-16 we delivered our services into some non-traditional Surf Life Saving environments, such as rivers, lakes and bays. The processes and techniques developed by the CoastSafe unit over many years can easily be adapted for non-beach environments allowing communities away from the coast to benefit from Surf Life Saving NSW’s knowledge and experience in drowning prevention strategies.

AUSTRALIAN LIFESAVING ACADEMY “The significant achievements this year are a testament to the hardworking team of both full time staff as well as the large contingent of casual trainers and first responders throughout the state” The Australian Lifesaving Academy NSW (ALA NSW) under the Surf Life Saving NSW Registered Training Organisation (RTO ID 90394) has provided services to the NSW and ACT community for over 12 years. The 2015-16 year was the most successful yet for the ALA NSW across both First Aid Training and Event Safety Services. The ALA NSW has now trained 374,581 course participants since its inception in 2004. This is a fantastic milestone to reach and a credit to all ALA NSW team members, both current and past. “Transforming everyday Australians into lifesavers” remains the core mission of the ALA NSW. We strive to meet this mission through the delivery of effective first aid training, the provision of frontline first aid services and water safety at events, and through surf and water safety education programs throughout the NSW. First Aid Training During the past year the ALA NSW has seen strong growth in its first aid training services. From July 2015 to June 2016 the Academy delivered 69,987 awards in comparison to July 2014 – June 2015 when 52,658 awards were delivered, which is a 32.9% increase. Of the 69,987 total awards delivered during the period, 12,842 were Provide First Aid awards, 39,894 were CPR awards. The remaining 17,251 comprised of Education and Care First Aid, the new Department of Education (DoE) Anaphylaxis course, Emergency Care, Advanced Resuscitation, Spinal Management, Junior First Aid, Advanced First Aid, Remote Area First Aid and accredited Asthma and Anaphylaxis. Thanks to the NSW school teacher professional development days on 17 and 18 December 2015, the ALA NSW delivered a massive 10,095 awards, which was the most training awards ever delivered by the ALA NSW in a single month. In 2015, the NSW Department of Education (NSW DoE) identified a need for a NSW DoE Approved Provider Panel to ensure the delivery of consistently high standard first aid response training across the state. After a lengthy tender process, on 30 September 2015, the ALA NSW was appointed to the NSW DoE Approved Provider Panel for the provision of First Aid, CPR and Anaphylaxis training for all NSW DoE staff. As it is a requirement for all NSW Government schools to arrange face to face CPR and Anaphylaxis training on an annual basis, our appointment to the DoE Approved Provider Panel represents a significant growth opportunity for the ALA NSW. The NSW DoE Approved Provider Panel agreement took effect on 1 January 2016. During the initial six months, the ALA NSW has secured an additional 73 new school clients taking our current client list to 1,406 schools across NSW. This panel arrangement will be in place for an initial term of two years with the option of three 12 month extensions.

During 2015-16 the ALA NSW made several enhancements to its public course offerings, including the addition of new course locations and a renewed marketing strategy. Due largely to these changes, the ALA NSW has secured an increase in participants of around 20% over the past 12 months. For the 2016 calendar year the ALA NSW has booked 335 public courses at 23 locations across NSW and the ACT. One new location is the recently-opened Surf Life Saving NSW Northern Operations Centre in Port Macquarie where various courses are being offered and delivered to the local community and our Surf Life Saving members in the region. We also added a new location in Canberra due to an increasing demand for our public courses in the ACT. Other significant developments in the ALA NSW’s training operations over the past 12 months include securing training partnerships with the Department of Parliamentary Services, Valspar ANZ, UNE Partnerships Pty Ltd and Campbell Page. In December 2015 the Pacific Smiles Group confirmed it would extend its contract for CPR training across NSW, Victoria and Queensland for an additional three years (2016-2019). From 1 January 2016, the ALA NSW was required to implement the Australian Government, Department of Industry Unique Student Identifier (USI) scheme to provide participants undertaking Vocational Education and Training (VET) with access to an online record of all the training they have completed since 1 January 2015. This information can be used when applying for a job, seeking a credit transfer or demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training. Along with this new reporting requirement and in order to streamline other business processes, the ALA NSW has implemented an advanced Learner Management System called aXcelerate. It is an AVETMISS-compliant solution built for registered training organisations, with features that enable better management of student information. In May 2016 the ALA NSW trialled an external telemarketing company, Kuchikomi, to grow the broader market and income for the ALA within the ACT schools and building and construction industry. The ACT schools campaign was very successful and delivered new opportunities within the ACT schools markets. The building and construction industry campaign was also successful and through these campaigns the ALA NSW expects to significantly improve its market share over the medium to long term. In partnership with Laerdal the ALA NSW offered an end of financial year campaign for competitively priced HeartStart Defibrillators. Every year there are approximately 30,000 cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) within Australia with the majority occurring outside a hospital setting. This was the most successful Defibrillator campaign yet, with many new Laerdal HeartStart Defibrillators provided to various organisations across NSW including schools, sports clubs, medical centres and aged care facilities.

ALA NSW milestones since inception in 2004: • Over 110,000 First Aid certificates delivered • Over 174,000 CPR certificates delivered • Over 32,000 Emergency Care certificates delivered • Over 13,000 people trained in Accredited Asthma & Anaphylaxis •O ver 9,000 (junior) school students trained in Junior First Aid and Basic Resus •7 ,723 NSW School Staff trained in the new NSW DoE Anaphylaxis course since January 2016 Event Safety Services It has been another successful year for the Australian Event Safety Services (AESS). The AESS continues to provide aquatic rescue, first aid and risk management services to a varying client base across the state. They include schools, sporting groups, production companies, cultural, community and music festivals, as well as government organisations. In 2015-16 overall service provision has increased by 11%, with growth in first aid services being the major contributor. Our staff were provided with ongoing training in order to develop their skill base, qualifications and to ensure they were ready to respond to any situation. The AESS would like to thank staff, clients and surf clubs for their ongoing support during the season. The AESS looks forward to further growth in 2016-17. The ALA and AESS continue to grow their market share and the professionalism of staff and service delivery. The significant achievements this year are a testament to the hardworking team of both full time staff as well as the large contingent of casual trainers and first responders throughout the state. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the combined ALA and AESS team for their tireless efforts during 2015-16 and we look forward to another successful year serving the Surf Life Saving and broader NSW community.

EDUCATION “Our Beach to Bush program continues to be very popular, delivering surf education to thousands of students living 50km or more away from the beach.” The 2015-16 year has been another busy and exciting one for Education with a number of key projects undertaken to better support our volunteer educators and to improve the reach of our community education programs.

• CTO Induction – a hard copy written resource plus supporting video material was developed this season to better support new CTOs get to grips with their role. These new materials will be used in the 2016-17 season.

Member Training Year two of the 2014-17 Member Education work plan was implemented with a continued focus on encouraging and enabling club self-sufficiency, demystifying education policies and processes, empowering our Chief Training Officers (CTOs) to plan for development and promoting and supporting the key roles of our Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators (TAFs).

• CTO Conference – the third triennial CTO Conference was held in July 2016. The conference theme ‘Rising Tide’, focused on how excellence in the CTO role can help to lift the performance of the whole club, ensuring its growth, sustainability and relevance into the future.

Building on the work that was completed in 2014-15 to streamline the Member Education Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and paperwork, a new TAF re-endorsement process was launched this season. The new process adopted a more ‘commonsense’ approach to the re-endorsement requirements, as well as a streamlined online application process which was used for over 80% of all re-endorsements (or almost 550 applications). Linked to this piece of work was a revamp of the way in which pre-season education updates and professional development is delivered to TAFs across the state. We worked closely with the Branch Directors of Education to take advantage of the face-toface Education pre-season meetings for this purpose, directly reaching almost 370 TAFs throughout August and September 2015. For those who couldn’t make face-to-face meetings, webinar technology was trialled to deliver the essential pre-season update information. This innovation reached an additonal 300 TAFs across NSW. A grant secured through the Emergency Volunteer Support Scheme (EVSS) enabled us to pilot a new approach to the delivery of Training Officer courses in 2015-16, with three weekend courses delivered in partnership with Branches across the state. These courses delivered over 20% of new trainers during the season. The new format aimed to increase completion rates for the course as well as improve the learning experience for all new trainers. Our key focus this season was on development planning and capacity building for CTOs. This goal has been furthered via a number of projects including: • Educheck – implemented in early 2016, this new tool seeks to support development planning for CTOs in clubs. In total, 118 out of 129 clubs participated in the Educheck process, the results and outcomes of which will inform where further support can be provided by Branches and/or SLSNSW. • Club Sustainability – key sustainability indicators for Education were determined and included in the Club Sustainability Reports to provide objective data for clubs to build their action plans around (see Member Services section).

One of the member-focused projects delivered this season was a key milestone for the organisation, with our Registered Training Organisation (RTO) status renewal in March 2016. Thanks in part to the ongoing commitment to continuous improvement demonstarted by all of our volunteers and staff, our status as a RTO was secured until 30 March 2023. Finally, a number of national initiatives were launched this season which impacted on member education, including the launch of the 8th Edition Powercraft Manual and revised IRB/RWC learning and assessment resources, as well as changes to the skills maintenance process aimed at reducing the burden on assessors and administrators during the first half of the season. During what was another busy year for all involved in Member Education, we delivered more Bronze Medallion, IRB Crew, IRB Driver and Beach Management awards compared to the 2014-15 season. A huge thank you as always to the ongoing enthusiasm and dedication of the volunteers who manage and support this portfolio in NSW Clubs and Branches. Community Education The 2015-16 year was a pivotal one for Community Education. As well as the ongoing delivery of our key programs, we completed a number of projects which will help shape the future focus of SLSNSW’s work in this area. Our Beach to Bush program continues to be popular, delivering surf education to thousands of students living 50km or more away from the beach. The support of this year’s program by ClubsNSW and the Cancer Institute NSW enabled us to reach 12,000 students across 32 towns and cities in rural NSW. Continued funding from the NSW Government’s Water Safety Black Spot Fund also enabled us to continue our engagement with an identified black spot location and age group, delivering surf education to high school students in Western Sydney. During the 12 month period from January-December 2015, we delivered vital safety information focusing on risk taking behaviour around water to around 3500 students in Western Sydney. The program was expanded to include practical, on-the-beach education (delivered in partnership with Surf Life Saving Illawarra Branch) and professional development workshops for school staff.

Working closely with our Media and Communications team, we have continued to support our Coastal Accommodation Network (a network of over 130 coastal accommodation providers throughout NSW) with the provision of resources, dangerous surf warnings and a regular e-newsletter. Through this network, we aim to raise awareness of beach safety among visitors to coastal locations, with the goal of ultimately reducing the incidence of rescues and drownings. In 2015-16, work was also undertaken with an external research company to ensure that we are delivering evidence-based interventions that are robustly evaluated to ensure their effectiveness in reducing drowning. The outcomes of this work have provided us with greater clarity around where the future focus of work in Community Education should be targeted, and have informed the projects that we will be delivering for the next three years to address drowning black spots in NSW.

Surf Life Saving NSW | Annual Report 2015–16

SURF SPORTS “NSW representative teams have once again enjoyed good results in very tight competitive conditions which reflects the valuable pathway in place for our NSW athletes.” What an exciting and challenging 12 months for surf sports in NSW. While the 2014-15 season stood out for some extreme weather conditions, the 2015-16 major championships enjoyed kinder conditions, with some exciting racing which was enjoyed by competitors, officials, volunteers and spectators. There have been some significant gains made across various areas of the sport including high performance, event delivery and sport touring teams which overall, directly aligns with SLSNSW’s strategic priorities.

Coaching

Some of the key highlights for the 2015-2016 season were: • Increased participation in a variety of major events, including the Stramit NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships and the NSW Pool Rescue Championships.

NSW made significant inroads into the future of coaching by adopting the new National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS), facilitating the NSW roll out for the 2015–16 season. The major change in NCAS has been a shift to online education to better suit the ever increasing demands on time for our volunteers. In the first year of the scheme, NSW has facilitated online learning for 22 Foundation Coaches and 48 Development Coaches. NCAS has been supported throughout the state by 33 mentors and 58 assessors. NSW is supporting the next stage of NCAS with at least three members involved in the pilot of the Performance Coach accreditation.

• NSW joint winners (with Western Australia) of the ASRL Surf Boat Interstate Championship at Shellharbour, NSW. • Mona Vale SLSC’s Open Men surf boat crew was selected to represent Australia and defend the Trans-Tasman Test Series. Avalon Beach SLSC’s U23 Men and Palm Beach SLSC’s U23 Women were also selected to represent Australia in the Development series. • NSW Open Team won the Ocean Interstate Championships in Victoria, while the Youth Team came in a close second, placing NSW second overall. • 12 athletes and four team management members travelled as part of the U18 NSW Pool Rescue Development Team to compete at the New Zealand Pool Championships held in West Auckland with 4 of these athletes selected in the Australian Youth Team. • 12 NSW athletes were selected in the Australian Life Saving Team to compete at the Lifesaving World Championships in the Netherlands in September 2016. Congratulations to the following athletes:

Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • To provide high quality education and accredited training to our members and the community • To promote healthy lifestyles and wellbeing in the community • To increase grassroots participation in sport and recreational activities at all levels of the movement

Our strategic priorities of Active for Life, Innovation of SLS and Learning for Life continue to be fostered and supported through quality officiating at all levels of competition within the organisation. A new innovation this season was the design and delivery of a High Performance Officials Program, held in July 2015, which was aimed at fostering continuous improvement across the organisation, providing high quality education and accredited training to our members and the community and to invest in sporting pathways to ensure sustained participation in the sport into the future. This program was aimed at officials in key positions and offered up and coming officials the potential to be selected to take part in an international surf or pool event with a NSW touring team by increasing their skills and knowledge. The main objective was to provide a succession plan for NSW and focused on the handover of skills and information from current high level officials to future and aspiring officials. The program was facilitated by a team of NSW’s most experienced officials. The current Australian Championships Deputy Referee and NSW Open Championships Referee, Donald van Keimpema lead the program and SLSNSW hand-picked a prominent official from each discipline of surf sports including Surf Boats, Water, Beach, IRBs and Pool to provide specialised information. A Level 2 Officials course was delivered over two days in October with 23 attendees from 21 SLSCs. Three facilitators delivered the course at SLSNSW which included a section on Risk Management. The content of the course included a pre and post course assignment. Currently half of the attendees have completed the course and gained the accreditation. SLSNSW accredited 270 new officials during the 2015-16 season. This brings the total number of accredited officials in NSW to: • • • •

Junior – 330 (47 new) Level 1 – 1103 (211 new) Level 2 – 181 (12 new) Level 3 – 36

Continuous improvement in member satisfaction and safety at events are key focal points in surf sports and directly align with our strategic plan through the priority areas of Active for Life and Involving all Australians. A total of eight Championship events and five other events were contested in NSW during the year, with the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships once again the blue ribbon event. This season was the final of a four-year hosting arrangement with Ocean Beach and Umina SLSCs for the NSW Championships. SLSNSW thanks the Organising Committee and the many members and supporters of the two host clubs who contributed over 4600 hours each year to successfully stage the event. Thanks must also go to our valuable partners at the former Gosford City Council (now Central Coast Council) for their ongoing support of the NSW Championships from 2013 to 2016. We now look forward to moving north to Swansea Belmont SLSC in 2017 and 2018. The success of these events brings added pressure to further develop and improve competition to enhance the safety and overall experience for our members, volunteers and stakeholders. The NSW Board Riding Championships were held as a stand-alone event for the first time in August 2015 with over 150 participants in short or long board events from U14 to Masters, from 45 SLSCs. Originally scheduled for Avoca Beach, the event was successfully delivered in contestable board riding conditions over three days at Copacabana Beach. This is an example of innovation in surf sports and offers another opportunity for members to participate in events which are outside the standard Surf Life Saving competitions. SLSNSW works closely with host clubs and branches, along with local Councils, in order to deliver events of the highest quality. Our aim is for each of our members and stakeholders to walk away from an event with great memories and a positive attitude towards the organisation. SLSNSW acknowledges the enormous contribution made by clubs; from officiating to water safety and powercraft, from the work party to the competitors themselves. Together we achieve success through everyone working harmoniously together to showcase the sport of Surf Life Saving.

SURF SPORTS CONTINUED

Representative Teams and Athlete Development Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • To develop a more inclusive organisation for all Australians to participate in • To ensure our leadership reflects the diversity of our membership • To foster the development of our state surf sport teams and athletes • To invest in sporting pathways to ensure sustained participation • To offer diverse sport and recreational pathways to people of all abilities Our strategic priority of Active for Life continues to be supported through quality development programs, representative teams and other developmental opportunities. Over the last five years SLSNSW has been very successful in developing, innovating and strengthening development opportunities in all phases of the athlete pathway. There are now numerous clinics and development programs aimed at the grassroots and intermediate levels such as Pool Rescue Development, IRB Development and the Junior Development Academy. SLSNSW continues to develop our top tier athletes through various tours such as the U18 NSW Development Pool Rescue Team which competed at the New Zealand Pool Championships in 2015. Our elite athletes are also exposed to some of the best sports science technologies on offer through programs with the NSW Senior Performance Academy, NSW Pool Rescue High Performance Clinic and the NSW Beach High Performance Clinic. NSW representative teams have once again enjoyed good results in very tight competitive conditions which reflects the valuable pathway in place for our NSW athletes. Our representative calendar started with the NSW IRB Interstate team finishing third overall at the Australian IRB Interstate Championships at Mooloolaba SLSC in July 2015. A NSW Pool Rescue Interstate Team claimed second overall at the Australian Pool Rescue Championships held in the Gold Coast in August 2015 where the format saw the pool rescue events separated from the Ocean Interstate for the first year. The NSW Surf Boat Interstate Team was declared joint winners of the ASRL Surf Boat Interstate hosted by Shellharbour SLSC in February 2016. In January 2016, the NSW Surf Interstate Team travelled to Torquay in Victoria and came away with a very narrow second place in the overall pointscore. It was fitting NSW Head Coach Jeff “Mowie” Mowbray chose this event to step back from the NSW Team as Torquay was where it all begin for him as Assistant Junior Coach at the 1999 Interstate Titles. Mowie’s efforts are acknowledged as a

significant factor in ensuring NSW has had a strong Interstate program for many years and we thank him for his leadership and dedication.

Summary SLSNSW is extremely fortunate to have continued support from a range of organisations including the Australian Sports Commission, Surf Life Saving Australia, various academies of sport and universities. This support allows us to build programs that not only benefit our athletes, but continue to up-skill and develop our coaches in NSW. To continue to deliver against our strategic objectives in sport, SLSNSW requires dedicated members, strategic thinking and strong financial planning and leadership. After six years of valued contribution as Director of Surf Sports, Michael Bate chose not to stand for another term. Surf sports in NSW has gone from strength to strength and will continue to reap rewards for many years to come. A huge thank you must go to all our NSW members who dedicate their time to advance the sport of Surf Life Saving in the key areas of event management, coaching, officiating, team management and various working groups. A special thanks goes to ‘Dad’s Army’ who continue to spend countless hours maintaining all the gear and equipment that is required at events throughout the year.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS & PEAK BODY REPRESENTATION

Surf Life Saving NSW’s (SLSNSW) key strategic goals in relation to Government recognition in the SLSNSW Strategic Plan (2013-14 to 2016-17) are: • To enhance our relationship with all levels of Government to promote the value of our organisation. • To obtain Government recognition and funding to further our charitable purpose. • To ensure we remain the recognised peak body for coastal public safety.

GOVERNMENT FUNDING SLSNSW would like to extend our thanks to the Premier and the NSW Government for supporting our operations, services and programs through the following grants, which enable us to further our charitable purpose.

NSW Office of Sport Capital Facility Development Program The Surf Club Facility Grant Program was established 11 years ago to assist SLSCs throughout NSW develop their facilities to increase the usage, safety and participation in Surf Life Saving and the use of Surf Life Saving facilities by the general public, community groups and club members. There was a delay in funding this year due to the review of audit assessments undertaken at all SLSCS in 2014-2015. Following the audit, a number of statutory and mandatory works were identified that need to be undertaken and the NSW Government has directed that the 2015-16 funding go towards addressing these issues. SLSNSW would like to acknowledge the support of the Department of Sport and Recreation team for their ongoing assistance. NSW Sport and Recreation Events Program Through the NSW Sport and Recreation Events Program, the NSW Government contributed $5000 toward hosting the 2016 Stramit NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships.

NSW Office of Justice - Ministry for Emergency Services Co-operative funding Through the Ministry for Emergency Services, SLSNSW continues to receive ongoing funding for our state-wide operations through our Co-operative Agreement. Water Safety Black Spots Fund Through the NSW Government’s Ministry for Police and Emergency Services Water Safety Black Spots Fund, Surf

Life Saving NSW received a grant of $349,900 to complete the fourth year of ‘Project Blueprint’. In its fourth year the state-wide Project Blueprint targeted priority black spots in the following Local Government Areas: Kempsey, Port Macquarie, Port Stephens, Newcastle, Greater Taree, Great Lakes and Lake Macquarie Local Government Areas. The Water Safety Black Spots Fund also supported SLSNSW with a grant of $60,000 to deliver surf safety education to students in schools at key residential black spot locations in Western Sydney. In the 2015 calendar year, SLSNSW delivered safety information to 3500 students in the area, along with providing practical education and professional development workshops for school staff. Emergency Volunteer Support Services (EVSS) Grants Through the EVSS grants, SLSNSW was successful in obtaining the following grants: • $24,250 to develop state-wide training capacity through provision of support for existing and new training assessors in each Branch. • $28,231 for the purchase of head/face airway models for every surf club in NSW to ensure compliance with the new units of competency for Apply Advanced Resuscitation Techniques. • $17,980 for Surf Club Open Day banners to assist surf clubs with recruitment.

NSW Government Community Building Partnership Program Surf Life Saving NSW would like to thank the Premier and the NSW Members of Parliament who provided funding to 13 surf clubs and Branches across nine electorates worth $256,175 through the 2015 Community Building Partnership (CBP) Program. NSW Family and Community Services (FaCS) SLSNSW, for the third consecutive year has continued to work with FaCS to implement strategies which will give people living with disability, greater access to beach precincts in NSW through trials at Pambula, Newcastle and Bondi. A community grants program was promoted in each of these areas, which has seen a number of great initiatives commenced. For more information see the Member Services report.

Department of Primary Industries Observation Towers Funding Program Through the NSW Department of Primary Industries’ Observation Towers Funding Program, SLSNSW received $12,987 in funding to purchase 13 Emergency Evacuation Alarms for surf clubs. Federal Government On behalf of our Surf Life Saving Clubs, we would like to thank the Federal Government for dedicating funding through the Beach Safety Equipment Fund which directed $5000 to every surf club for the purchase of vital rescue equipment, first aid and medical supplies.

GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT NSW Parliamentary Friends of Surf Life Saving SLSNSW would like to thank Melinda Pavey MP for the active role she has undertaken as Chairperson of the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Surf Life Saving, along with our co-Deputy Chairs, Adam Crouch MP and Yasmin Catley MP. SLSNSW would like to thank all our Parliamentary Friends for their ongoing support of the activities of SLSNSW during the 56th term of Parliament. While many of our Parliamentary Friends are lifesavers themselves, we are pleased to see new members representing communities away from coastal areas lend their support. Political representation at events Our thanks goes to Bruce Notley-Smith MP for officially opening our 2015-2016 surf rescue patrol season on behalf of the Minister and to the Hon. Leslie Williams MP for attending our Awards of Excellence on behalf of the Premier and Minister. Thank you also to State MPs and the Mayors of Kempsey Shire and Gosford City Council who attended our Country and State Championships.

Landmark agreement on Surf Life Saving Clubs on Crown Land â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Innovation through Productive Partnerships At the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Active program awards night, an award was given in the Innovation category for the partnership between Land and Natural Resources (LNR) and SLSNSW for changing the way lease arrangements for SLSCs operate. Surf clubs located on Crown land across the state will have fewer hurdles to secure their long-term future after the historic signing of a deal between Surf Life Saving NSW and the State Government in late January. For the first time in our history, SLSCs across the state have an alternative to going through lengthy processes to renew longterm leases, saving SLSCs time and money that can be better spent on keeping our beaches safe. There is now a standardised lease template that gives SLSCS an initial term of 20 years at minimum rent and allows them to conduct fundraising activities.

Advocating the Priorities of the Organisation and its Members Advocating for secure tenure of SLSCs on Crown Land In terms of advocacy on the priorities of the organisation, one of the great successes this year was the historical announcement by the Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair MLC on the release of a standardised lease agreement for SLSCs on Crown Land. This is a significant milestone for our organisation. For the first time in our history it will provide affordable and secure tenure for our SLSCs situated on Crown land across the state. Coastal Management Bill SLSNSW provided a submission on the Coastal Management Bill to ensure that public safety was included as an overall objective of the Act. SLSNSW also advocated for consultation to be included on affected public authorities or authorities designated in emergency action sub-plans before a land management plan can be adopted. These considerations were incorporated into the Coastal Management Act. Shark Management Inquiry SLSNSW and the Australian Lifeguard Service (ALS) were represented at the Shark Management Inquiry held in Sydney in April this year. SLSNSW also provided a submission to the inquiry and highlighted the measures and strategies being undertaken by SLSNSW to mitigate shark encounters. These relate to patrolling beaches and ensuring supervision and surveillance, educating the community about sharks through the distribution of SharkSmart information through the Coastal Accommodation Network, and providing beach safety information through the Beachsafe App and website.

MEMBER SERVICES “Our clubs and branches continue to work hard in an environment where volunteerism across the community is in decline.”

The Member Services team has worked alongside our volunteers throughout 2015-16 to deliver various projects and programs which contribute to successful outcomes against the Surf Life Saving NSW Strategic Plan. To fulfil this there are eight key areas of work undertaken by the portfolio, including club sustainability, leadership, member growth, member recognition, junior membership, youth membership, inclusion and member protection. The total membership for the 2015-16 season was 74,686, demonstrating a 3% decrease in overall membership from the previous season. In specific categories we saw a decrease in junior membership of 7.1% and also in the active patrolling membership by 1.2%. Despite this our clubs and branches continue to work hard in an environment where volunteerism across the community is in decline, where those who do volunteer have less time to give, and where flexible, one-off and project volunteering are more popular models of volunteering than in the past. Congratulations to all those Surf Life Saving Clubs who have maintained or increased their membership base despite these challenges.

Building Club Sustainability Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • To develop viable and sustainable clubs • For all Surf Life Saving Clubs to achieve bronze level status in the Quality Club Program • To optimise our resources and maximise the movement’s capacity to deliver our future goals • To foster continuous improvement across the organisation In 2015-16 we saw a continued and strengthened focus on the strategic priorities of Healthy Clubs and an Effective State Movement. Projects such as the Club Guide and the Quality Club Program enable and support continuous improvement across the organisation, with the aim of continuing to build sustainability within our clubs. Version 4.1 of the Club Guide was released online, providing clubs with a centralised resource for vital information about club operations. Supporting the implementation of this resource is the Quality Club Program. This financial year has seen a total of 60 clubs register for the program, up from 35 last year. Forty-two of these are aiming for Bronze, 13 aiming for Silver, and 4 are aiming for Gold level. This increase in participation is largely the result of resourcing, including three dedicated Quality Club Officers across the state. This increased resourcing has seen those clubs which need greater support, as identified through evidence-based health indicators, provided with more guidance and advice in an effort to empower clubs to operate effectively into the future. Congratulations to all these clubs for their dedication to continuous improvement and work towards ensuring ongoing sustainability within their club.

The 2015-16 season saw the initial rollout of the Club Sustainability Program across the state. Through consultation with branch portfolio managers, key measurement criteria were developed. Club reports were created with input from the Member Services, Surf Sports, Lifesaving and Education portfolios and the results were summarised at a branch level, to assist identify clubs at risk. Due to time constraints for the delivery of club reports, only a few clubs engaged with the program in 201516; however, we hope to increase the use of this effective resource to assist all clubs in 2016-17.

Developing Strong Leadership Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • To value members by providing them with recognition, direction and support • To deliver a strategic unified effort to leverage the collective intelligence and skills of our people • To ensure our leadership reflects the diversity of our membership • Promoting volunteerism as a pathway to employment • To develop a culture where innovation thrives and is shared Our strategic priorities of Healthy Clubs, Effective State Movement, Involving All Australians and Learning for Life continue to be supported through the provision of high quality leadership development programs for our young people. In addition to the funding provided to our Branches to run their own programs, Surf Life Saving NSW successfully delivered three leadership development programs which aimed to build individuals’ capacity within the areas of leadership, teamwork, networking, interpersonal skills, problem solving, decision making and strategic planning. The programs also aim to provide participants with a better understanding of Surf Life Saving – its structure, processes and pathways – and to network and share ideas with like-minded peers from across the state. The season kicked off with the Development Networking Program for members aged between 18 and 25 years, and toward the end of the season a program was run for our Under 14 Junior Lifesaver of the Year finalists, during which interviews were conducted to award our NSW Junior Lifesavers of the Year. Run in conjunction with this program was the Youth Opportunity Makers workshop for our 15 to 17 year old members. Additionally, a number of members were supported with their progression through to participating in national Surf Life Saving programs. One of the key development opportunities within these programs is also the skills that are learnt and refined by our facilitation teams. Led and mentored by truly amazing volunteer coordinators, our facilitators gain confidence, learn team-work, communication, problem-solving, initiative, planning and organising skills. Thank you to all our 2015-16 facilitation teams!

MEMBER SERVICES CONTINUED “Member Services also worked to have the outstanding achievements of our members, clubs and branches recognised outside the movement where possible” Recruiting And Retaining Membership Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • To increase membership each season • To value members by providing them with recognition, direction and support • To make it easier for members of the community to give, get involved and be safe • To encourage volunteerism and broaden the volunteer base across the state Volunteer recruitment and retention is another vital part of the work we do, contributing to our strategic priorities of Healthy Clubs and Involving all Australians. This work ensures Surf Life Saving Clubs in NSW remain strong and resilient. The annual Surf Club Open Day was held on Sunday 18 October 2015, with 103 SLSCs (up from 67 clubs in 2014-15) opening their doors to the public to showcase their efforts in keeping our beaches safe and illustrating how people can give, get involved and be safe. In addition to the resources provided to participating clubs, Surf Life Saving NSW also coordinated state-wide media, resulting in a significant media presence for the event. The SLSNSW Awards of Excellence, held on Saturday 29 August 2015 at the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, recognised the outstanding achievements and contributions across all aspects of Surf Life Saving. Twenty award categories recognised the accomplishments of members, clubs and branches, with winners of many awards going forward to be nominated for national Surf Life Saving Awards. All nominees were exceptional and we were very pleased to see Lizzie Welborn awarded the Surf Life Saving Australia Young Athlete of the Year and Bellambi SLSC awarded the Community Education Program of the Year, which is a fantastic achievement. Member Services also worked to have the outstanding achievements of our members, clubs and branches recognised outside the movement where possible. SLSNSW nominated members for the Sports NSW 2015 Community Sports Volunteer Awards, 2015 Sports Awards, NSW Water Safety Awards, NSW Sports Federation Awards, National Youth Awards and the Premier’s Volunteer Recognition Award. Congratulations to our nominees, highly commended and winners in these awards.

Innovating Junior Development Programs Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • To reduce the rate of drowning in NSW • To increase grassroots participation in sport and recreational activities at all levels of the movement • Enhance the health and fitness of our members • To be adaptive, flexible and move with change While Surf Life Saving NSW continues to provide guidance and support for clubs who are delivering junior development

programs, there has been a continued focus on expanding the opportunities to deliver surf education to children throughout NSW in an effort to meet our strategic priorities of Saving Lives 24/7, Active for Life and Innovating Surf Life Saving. The 2015-16 Sydney Wet‘n’Wild Nippers program hosted 228 Nippers in the U6-U12 age groups for a 10 week season which ran from 20 November through to a season finale carnival on 20 March 2016. The Nippers were taught beach safety and awareness including beach signage, sun safety, personal safety and wellbeing, recognition of emergency situations and how to get help, identifying hazards in the surf, recognising unsafe behaviour and preventative actions, rescue techniques and first aid. They are also provided with ecosurf education including water conservation, sun safety, energy conservation and weather impacts. Surf sport activities provide an opportunity to practice the skills that may one day help them perform a rescue, including dolphin-diving, beach and water running techniques, body surfing and board use. In addition to the 191 Junior Development Awards issued to the participants, 81 Nippers earned their Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) Basic First Aid certificate. The Age Manager is a fundamental role within the Nippers program and they are responsible for the care, safety, wellbeing and development of the junior lifesaver. Thirty six parents volunteered for the role in the 2015-16 season at Wet ‘n’ Wild. SLSNSW members from coastal clubs supported the program in the roles of Water Safety personnel and Age Manager Assistants. Twenty clubs provided support, with a total of 1135 hours volunteered by members during the 11 weeks. For the first time in the program, a coastal beach visit was organised with North Steyne SLSC on 10 January 2016, and 110 Nippers (approximately 400 people including family members) descended on Manly beach to test their skills in the surf. An unexpected outcome of the program was a two-way exchange of information between the North Steyne Age Managers and the 21 Wet‘n’Wild Age Managers attending. North Steyne SLSC did an outstanding job in organising a wonderful learning opportunity that extended the surf education experience for all participants. The club actively enriched our program by allowing the Sydney Wet‘n’Wild Nippers to practice their new surf life saving skills in a dynamic beach environment, under the guidance of their Age Managers and Water Safety volunteers from North Steyne SLSC, Freshwater SLSC and Narrabeen SLSC.

Involving All Australians Contributions were made toward the following strategic goals: • For Surf Life Saving Clubs to be vibrant community hubs • To develop a more inclusive organisation for all Australians to participate in • To make it easier for members of the community to give, get involved and be safe • To remain relevant to our members, the community and the Government Inclusion is a key area of work for Surf Life Saving NSW, as it contributes toward our strategic priorities of Healthy Clubs, Involving all Australians and Innovating Surf Life Saving. While the inclusion of people from culturally, linguistically and diverse populations and those who identify as indigenous are important aspects to an inclusive organisation, we continued the focus on the inclusion of people with disability during the 2015-16 season. We saw the implementation phase of the Surf Life Saving NSW Community Inclusion Project, a three year project funded by the Dept. of Family and Community Services (FaCS), which aims to see people with a disability enjoy improved access to beach precincts where their rights of equal and independent access, choice and inclusion are recognised and celebrated, enabling

them to fully participate in community life. The program included the roll out of a grants program for Surf Life Saving Clubs, community organisations and businesses located in the three trial areas. This season has also seen a partnership between House with No Steps and Surf Life Saving NSW, with support from Surf Life Saving Hunter Branch, for the delivery of the New Wave Nippers Program. This trial initiative is testing a new model of support for clubs who are running programs for children with disability, which sees children and their families provided with the support needed to access the program, while our Surf Life Saving volunteers receive the training and support they need to ensure they can support the child to participate in the activities. We have also commenced work with an external contractor, funded through grant programs, to develop resources to ensure the future continuity of delivery of the New Wave Nippers program.

Surf Life Saving NSW | Annual Report 2015–16

FUNDRAISING AND PARTNERSHIPS “SLSNSW has continued to professionalise and strengthen our fundraising efforts to maximise efficiencies and ensure targets are met, and where possible exceeded.” As a not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity, the importance of charitable donations and fundraising support from the community cannot be underestimated. To assist all NSW surf clubs and ensure they are equipped to patrol throughout the season, Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) has continued to professionalise and strengthen our fundraising efforts to maximise efficiencies and ensure targets are met, and where possible exceeded.

Ongoing Fundraising Activity Raffle: The 2015-16 season was the second year the Surf Life Saving Foundation (SLSF) was responsible for administering the national lottery program and national philanthropic program. SLSNSW currently receives a minimum guarantee of funds from the SLSF as a result of the national programs and SLSNSW continues to distribute 75% of all lottery income to compliant NSW branches and clubs. Go Fundraise: SLSNSW continued its relationship with online fundraising platform Go Fundraise during 2015-16. This platform allows SLSNSW to leverage off major third party events in NSW, such as the Blackmores Sydney Marathon. SLSNSW is also able to use Go Fundraise to manage and create our own events and appeals. Be a Lifesaver: The second year of the national ‘Be A Lifesaver’ campaign, set out to change perceptions and raise the profile of Surf Life Saving as a charity in need of philanthropic support. The national campaign, steered by Surf Life Saving Australia in conjunction with the Surf Life Saving Foundation, implemented a successful awareness and fundraising campaign that aimed to shift public perceptions about Surf Life Saving while encouraging donations and community support.

Fundraising Events

• Woolworths Charity of the Month: In November 2015, SLSNSW was nominated as the Charity of the Month at the Woolworths headquarters located at Bella Vista, NSW. The headquarters houses over 5,000 Woolworths employees and the company regularly showcases cultural and community organisations. SLSNSW was on-site for one week at the headquarters where fundraising efforts were generated through Christmas gift wrapping, the sale of ‘SLS Beach Packs’ and CPR demonstrations from the Australian Lifesaving Academy NSW. • Bondi Beachfest: In November 2015, the first annual Beachfest was held at Bondi Beach with a headline performance from the Beach Boys. SLSNSW was the official charity beneficiary and a percentage of ticket proceeds was donated to SLSNSW as well as fundraising efforts which took place at the event. • Surf Life Saving NSW Race Day: The second Surf Life Saving NSW Race Day presented by Segenhoe Stud, was held on Saturday 5 December 2015 at Royal Randwick Racecourse and marked the Australian Turf Club’s official start of summer racing calendar. This summer marked the second year of the five year partnership between Surf Life Saving NSW, Segenhoe Stud and the Australian Turf Club. The event provided an excellent opportunity to bring our movement together and for us to raise funds through onsite raffles, hospitality packages, race sponsorships, merchandise and sausage sizzles. • Australia Day: SLSNSW held a fundraiser appeal at Circular Quay in Sydney prior to the Australia Day long weekend. On the day, we were collecting donations and selling SLS Beach Packs and thongs.

The Future Looking towards the 2016-17 financial year, Surf Life Saving NSW plans to focus on the following areas:

SLSNSW delivers and supports a wide range of fundraising events to both promote awareness, and raise vital funds for state-wide operations. Over the last 12 months, we have built on our existing events and importantly grown our portfolio with the launch of the inaugural Bondi Beachfest in November 2015 where SLSNSW was delighted to be the official beneficiary. Partnering with already well established events as an official charity allows SLSNSW to generate fundraising income by leveraging off the participants, reputation and expertise of already successful and recognised events.

• Continuing our five year agreement for the Surf Life Saving Race Day presented by Segenhoe Stud and increasing fundraising efforts from this event year on year;

Fundraising events in 2015-16 included: • Sydney International Boat Show: The 2015 Sydney International Boat Show was held from 30 July to 3 August, 2015 at the Glebe Island Exhibition Centre. SLSNSW was offered a complimentary 3m x 3m stand in the “Marine Precinct” for the course of the event. SLSNSW distributed educational material and raised funds through the sales of ‘Beach Packs’ – containing a variety of beach essential items, such as sunscreen, board shorts and beach balls.

• Identify ways in which fundraising for SLSNSW can be leveraged off existing partners and sponsors;

• Continuing relationship with Surf Life Saving Foundation by working together and liaising on a variety of Surf Life Saving fundraising programs for the benefit of all surf clubs; • Growing SLSNSW Workplace Giving and Bequest programs; • Building partnerships with third party events to increase SLSNSW fundraising opportunities and public presence;

• Create exciting and innovative fundraising opportunities that are beyond the traditional ‘tin rattle’. Christina Voyage Partnerships Manager

Surf Life Saving NSW | Annual Report 2015–16

MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS “This year has seen our social media platforms grow on average over 42%”

The main goal of the Media and Communications strategy is to enhance the Surf Life Saving brand while also communicating important information to the public and our own membership.

and SLSNSW life members. It attracted significant media attention, reinforcing to the public the huge contribution made each year by surf lifesaving volunteers in NSW.

To meet these strategic aims, we conduct an extensive media relations program, which focuses on being both proactive and reactive to events and incidents that occur throughout the year. In addition, SLSNSW continues to develop relationships with all our key stakeholders and major partners, including Surf Life Saving Australia, state and federal governments, media outlets, emergency services agencies, sponsors and the general public.

The NSW Surf Life Saving Championships were held at Ocean Beach-Umina during February/March for the fourth and final year. We were extremely well supported by media organisations on the Central Coast and throughout the state. We partnered with Southern Cross Austereo through its Central Coast radio stations SEA FM and 2GO including live broadcasts from the Championships venue. Again, NBN TV provided us with promotional support, airing Community Service Announcements in the lead up to the Championships, as well as covering the event in its nightly news and sports broadcasts. A two part, four hour highlights package from the event was aired on Fox Sports after the Championships, covering all the finals action.

Surf Life Saving NSW communicates to members in a variety of ways. This includes a weekly e-newsletter to all clubs, a strong digital presence on various social media channels including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, and our website which hosts a variety of resources for members and the public to access. In addition, we continued to publish our two magazines quarterly. Both Beyond the Flags and SurfLIFE; our publications for members and corporate audiences respectively are distributed online and in hard copy to surf clubs, sponsors and government agencies.

Promoting the Brand Community Inclusion Project - funded by the NSW Department of Family and Community Services was launched at North Bondi SLSC in November 2015 with a wide range of media organisations present. This project is aimed at improving the inclusion of people living with a disability within beach precincts at trial sites in Newcastle, Bondi and Pambula. Rip Current Campaign - In early 2016, a communication working group was established to develop a national safety awareness campaign aimed at highlighting the dangers of rip currents. The campaign will be released nationally in October 2016 and aims to dispel the myths around who is most at risk of drowning due to rip currents and will provide beachgoers with information on identifying rips and what to do to survive these hazards.

Flagship Activities Our patrol season launch “Raising of the Flags” was at Coogee SLSC and was attended by the Hon Matt Thistlethwaite MP (Federal Member for Kingsford-Smith) and Bruce Notley-Smith MP (State Member for Coogee), along with local government representatives

Our state-wide Emergency Response System which coordinates callouts anytime, anywhere, has grown significantly and our media team is kept busy updating the public, through the media, on both serious incidents and successful rescues. This season has seen an increase in shark encounters and this ultimately increased the workload for the Media and Lifesaving teams as the threat from sharks become a widely publicised issue on the North Coast of NSW.

Social Media and Online Presence The Media and Communications team has continued to expand SLSNSW’s social media presence, utilising online networking channels to deliver information and better engage with members, particularly young volunteers. This year has seen our social media platforms grow on average over 42% (see graphic). Video content has also been a strong focus for the team with the production of 15 videos which were shared on social media, showcasing the various activities, programs and people in Surf Life Saving. The combined amount of views was over 40,000 across social media channels. We also produced highlight packages for the NSW Age, Masters and Open Championships, Sunset Wrap, which were shared widely.

BRANCH REPORTS

Surf Life Saving NSW | Annual Report 2015–16

FAR NORTH COAST

The 2015-16 season has been a challenging one for the 10 clubs from Yamba to Fingal Head, the Ballina Jet Boat and everyone associated with Far North Coast lifesaving. There’s an expectation from the public that when there’s a patrol on duty, people are safe - and we have to meet that challenge. Last season 735 State Operations Centre requests for assistance were received during the season throughout New South Wales, and of that figure almost one third, or 233, were on the Far North Coast. Many of our lifesavers have gone beyond the call of duty this season, and I know we can all be proud of our wonderful organisation. Achievements • This season we experienced increased demand for our services outside the patrolling season as well as after hours. Fortunately the Branch was able to secure sponsorship from Newcastle Permanent to purchase two new 4WD vehicles. The Jet Ski fleet has also increased to six and man hours spent on these skis significantly boosted. • The Annual General Meeting was held at Cudgen Headland Surf Club and the Board welcomed a new Secretary (Leanne Moore), a new Director of Lifesaving (Chris Samuels) and a new Director of Surf Sports (Debbie Pawsey). • Far North Coast Branch celebrated its 80th season at our Awards of Excellence evening at Twin Towns. Cudgen Headland won Club of the Year and Jimmy Keough received the President’s Award for Outstanding Service to Surf Life Saving. • Fingal Rovers SLSC was rewarded with the National and NSW Rescue of the Month award for October after Debrah Cheers rescued a female who had bravely entered the water to save the life of a child swept from rocks at Fingal Headland. Chris Dennis rescued the young boy, but the woman unfortunately couldn’t be revived. • Members from Far North Coast received a number of individual accolades this season. Darcy Morrow and Eoin Johnston were recognised with 50 Year Service Awards at Ballina, while Garry Meredith was announced Volunteer of the Year for Ballina Shire region.

• Our Branch Junior Lifesaver of the Year winners, Hayley Smith (Cudgen Headland SLSC) and Zane Patience (Cabarita Beach SLSC) represented the Far North Coast at Surf Life Saving NSW’s development program. • The Yamba Rescue Facility was opened by Chris Gulaptis, MP for Clarence. • In surf sports, the Far North Coast was successful at the NSW Interbranch Championships, claiming the title of the top Country Branch and finishing fifth overall. • Ballina Lighthouse & Lismore took out the title in the Branch Pool Rescue Championships at Southern Cross University. • The Byron Bay duo of Jy Timperley and Gabrielle Kay competed for Australia in the New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships in October. Jy and Gabrielle continued their form into the surf for Byron Bay where the club took out the NSW Country Championships by the narrowest of margins over Cudgen Headland at South West Rocks SLSC in February. Byron Bay’s successful season continued at the Branch Titles where they finished ahead of close rivals Cudgen Headland. Acknowledgements • I would like to say thanks to the support and funding from the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation which enabled the Far North Coast Branch to purchase two new 4WDs. • Funding from the State Government provided us with two new jet skis and we’re very thankful for the funding we receive. • My personal thanks and best wishes go out to all those involved with the Branch in the 2015-16 season. To our lifesavers, families and supporters, the juniors, emergency services and district supervisors, sponsors, club presidents, Branch Executive, Ballina Jet Boat, the local community and public thank you for your efforts and I wish you all the best for 2016-17.

NORTH COAST

The 2015-16 season was highly successful for our eight clubs, support operations, and callout teams who continue to demonstrate the dedication needed to maintain the high standards that we have set in preventing and responding to emergencies on beaches across the North Coast. Achievements • Poppy Smyth from Coffs Harbour SLSC and Patrick de Carle from Sawtell SLSC represented the Branch at the NSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year development camp. • Emily Girard (Sawtell SLSC) and Jackson Della (Woolgoolga SLSC) attended the Youth Opportunity Makers and the 18-25 Development Networking Program respectively. The future of North Coast lifesaving looks to be in safe hands and congratulations must go to these young club members for their efforts this season. • Coffs Harbour won the NSW Rescue of the Month Award for March after a valiant rescue and resuscitation effort at North Wall on two unconscious swimmers. Unfortunately neither patient could be revived, but it was a courageous effort from the lifesavers involved. • It has been a successful season in education across the branch with Director Sue Neil working with all clubs to ensure they have enough people trained to cover all patrol roles. Many members participated in the diverse range of courses offered. Sue and her fellow trainers also conducted the Junior Development Camp with great success. Thank you to all the Branch Trainers and Assessors who put in the extra hours to improve the standard of education across the Branch. • Senior competitor numbers are down with junior numbers remaining stable. All carnivals held within the Branch were well attended, while North Coast club members continued to perform strongly at the major championships. It was pleasing to see a large contingent of local athletes travel to South West Rocks for the Country Championships. At the Interbranch Championships held at Cape Hawke last December the North Coast Branch team put in an admirable performance.

Acknowledgements • I would like to acknowledge our major sponsor Newcastle Permanent Building Society for their ongoing support which is very much appreciated by us here at the Branch. • Paul Kelly from Coffs Coast Travel Services continues to be a great supporter of surf lifesaving on the North Coast. • SLSNSW as always provided a dividend from their fundraising efforts to all clubs and the Branch while also providing the annual gear grant. • Congratulations to our newest Branch Life Member Les Pepper from Woolgoolga SLSC. Les has been the Branch Emergency Services Officer for many years and is a great asset with his wealth of knowledge. Les has often been the first responder to many incidents and is a worthy recipient of this honour. • Sadly the Branch lost another Life Member last year Peter “Pedro” McHenry from Red Rock-Corindi SLSC and formerly of Woolgoolga SLSC. As Branch Superintendent from 1993-1997 and President from 1997-1999, Pedro contributed greatly to local lifesaving over many years. • The Branch is very fortunate to be served by a willing and capable Executive with all Directors contributing greatly in their roles. To Jayne Morrison, Wayne Scott, John Wake, Sue Neil, Les Pepper and Kevin Clancy thank you for all your tireless work you do for the Branch. I would also like to thank the Directors and staff at SLSNSW who are always there to support us. • While it is impossible to thank everyone involved in North Coast Lifesaving, know your efforts are very much appreciated. I have great confidence that we as a Branch will continue to be successful into the future because of this team effort. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support, and to all surf clubs and members all the best for an enjoyable and successful season in 2016-17.

MID NORTH COAST

In 2015-16 our clubs patrolled from Camden Haven to MacksvilleScotts Head and continued to perform a vital community service for the Mid North Coast. Our volunteers conducted themselves in a professional manner throughout the season, and all the while adapting to the constant changes in Surf Life Saving. The Surf Life Saving Mid North Coast (SLSMNC) Board of Directors continued to work towards future sustainability and while challenges remain, the relationship between the Branch and the clubs will ensure that local Surf Life Saving will evolve and strengthen into the future. Achievements • For the second year running Macksville-Scotts Head members were involved in a dramatic rescue in treacherous seas. The heroic efforts of Jason O'Donnell, Scott Balfour and their team in rescuing an Irish kayaker in June saw the team win the National Rescue of the Month award, and ultimately the NSW Rescue of the Year at the Awards of Excellence. Their skill and commitment in undertaking this rescue is to be commended. • The Junior Lifesavers of the Year should be congratulated on a great job as young ambassadors for SLSMNC. Grace Kunhell (Wauchope-Bonny Hills SLSC) and Isaac Plunkett (Port Macquarie SLSC) are a reflection of the quality of the juniors coming through the ranks. Both have taken a keen interest in Branch affairs and are encouraging their peers to become involved in lifesaving. • Our surf sports program over the season has been well attended with several local Open and Junior carnivals conducted. Mid North Coast clubs were well represented at the Country, State and Australian Championships with some outstanding performances and medals achieved at all levels. It was pleasing to see our members undertake officials courses which will assist us in our longer term goals within the surf sports portfolio. • The North Coast Boat Series continues to operate with strong numbers and this has moulded some of the excellent results at higher levels. • Our Interbranch team put in a good performance at Cape Hawke and made us all proud.

• The Stramit Country Championships were held at South West Rocks, which attracted large numbers of competitors. The event was a great success and will again be hosted by South West Rocks in 2017. • It’s been a big season for our Member Services team with continual improvement in all aspects of assisting our members to become better lifesavers. Several development camps were conducted throughout the season, while trips to the metropolitan area further advanced the skills of our members. Junior membership is in a strong position at all clubs but obviously we can always strive towards better initiatives for the future. It is vital that we further engage with our membership and identify areas of improvement. • The Education team conducted many courses which were made available to both members and the wider community. All of these courses have been very professionally conducted by our team Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators. We have developed and streamlined processes for proficiencies and administration of awards to benefit the membership. We are constantly reviewing our policy and procedures to ensure that members get the best possible education and quality training. Acknowledgements • The Branch wouldn’t function without our members who fulfil the many roles within our clubs and my thanks to everyone. Our club presidents have faced some challenges during the past season and I commend them all on a job well done. • Our thanks to Surf Life Saving NSW Directors and staff, Kempsey Shire Council, Nambucca Shire Council and Port Macquarie Hastings Council who have afforded various financial and in-kind support throughout the 2015-16 season.

LOWER NORTH COAST

Congratulations to all members of Surf Life Saving Lower North Coast (SLSLNC) for a successful 2015-16, and I’m pleased to report that no lives were lost on our patrolled beaches this season. Our six clubs, from Crowdy Head SLSC in the north to Pacific Palms SLSC in the south, have once again shown the dedication needed to maintain the high standards required to keep our beaches safe. Achievements • Congratulations to Annelise Romer and Jordan Fowler from Forster SLSC who represented SLSLNC at the Surf Life Saving NSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year program. • The many community education programs run by clubs, including Blackhead Special Nippers, Forster Christmas holiday Surf School, the Koori Girls and Boys Surf Program, and Forster Youth Group Beach to Bush Program should be applauded for their innovation and value to the communities that we live in. • One of our most important jobs is running our Nipper and youth programs. By educating our kids and keeping them active we keep them alive in the surf and hopefully put them on a pathway in life of physical activity and community participation. We also gain most of our patrolling members from Nipper parents. • Our education teams in our surf clubs and at Branch have worked hard again this season facilitating over 200 awards. The awards gained have spanned the whole education program which is fantastic in a world where patrolling members are getting harder to find, we need to multi-skill our members to meet our patrolling requirements. • Surf sports and competition is going through a huge transition from club level right up to national level. There are many challenges due to the changes in society, most importantly, people have less time for leisure and they place a greater value on their time. There are plenty of ideas already being planned for introduction into our Branch next season to make events more time efficient with greater satisfaction for the competitors. • Our Support Operations and club call-out teams have once again put in many hours doing extended search and rescue operations with not always the positive result that we seek. The dedication of these teams to give up their time to help with rescue or recovery operations is inspiring.

Acknowledgements • Thank you to the club presidents and executives for endless hours of planning and administration that keeps our clubs functioning. • To our sponsors, thank you for helping us save lives and keep our communities safe. We are blessed to have a major sponsor in Newcastle Permanent who not only sponsors surf lifesaving, but is involved in supporting many local initiatives. • Thank you to our local, state and federal political friends for their support of our clubs and organisation. Their influence and contacts can make the difference between us achieving things to help our communities or not being able to do anything at all. • Thank you to SLSNSW for the support for clubs and the running of programs and events for our members. I would like to thank our Branch Executives who are all very capable people, and give of their time so freely to help our clubs to be the best they can be. • In closing, I would like to extend to all clubs and their members my appreciation for your efforts during the season, in keeping Surf Life Saving strong and relevant to our communities. We should not underestimate our worth to the community and should be justifiably proud of the service we provide. The most important ingredient is that everyone has fun and enjoys each other’s company, and we are looking forward to helping our clubs and members meet their goals in 2016-17.

HUNTER

Thank you to all Hunter Surf Life Saving (HSLS) patrolling members, trainers, assessors, age managers, youth organisers and most of all our club executives. Achievements • Our Community Education Program for school students reached 6,000 participants which is an outstanding achievement. Our thanks go to everyone involved in this important project. I must also acknowledge Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation gave HSLS a new 4WD for our Community Education program in order to tow the trailer. • Seven of our surf clubs were involved in the special needs New Wave program. This program gives people living with a disability an opportunity to participate in Surf Life Saving. This is also a great retention program with many youth and older members facilitating it. • Congratulations to Jade Williams (Cooks Hill SLSC) and Luke Walmsley (Caves Beach SLSC) who represented HSLS at the Surf Life Saving NSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year program. • HSLS hosted a round of KNG Iron Series, Summer of Surf and Wave Warriors this season which proved to be a draw card to our area. Short sharp carnivals have been a great hit with athletes, officials and parents. A special mention must go to Daniel Collins from Redhead SLSC who represented Australia in Japan at the Sanyo Cup earlier in the year. • Our 13 clubs were again breach free for a second year, with the clubs working hard to reach their sustainability targets. This has strengthened patrols, given club captains a better rostering system, and produced very confident and happy patrolling members. HSLS currently has 15 Duty Officers and 35 RWC Drivers, and this season we also replaced four RWCs in our fleet of craft. • HSLS introduced a Central Venue Assessment Program, and this was positioned in the middle of the Branch at Stockton Beach SLSC. All practical assessments were conducted on a Saturday morning. Assessors were eager to participate as dates were set before the season started. • Our trainers were happy as squad commencement dates were 10 weeks apart and all members in the Branch knew of squads to enrol in.

• HSLS has entered into a Memorandum Of Understanding with Hunter TAFE to educate members in Certificate 4 in Leadership and Management. So far 40 members have participated in this program. • Sustainability charts for patrols, education and officials has assisted all 13 clubs meet targets to ensure future viability, with all clubs having participated in the Quality Club Program for four years. The standard of governance in the clubs is very good, which makes for happy members. • Seven members gained the Certificate 4 in Assessing and Training; and this has ensured every club has qualified trainers and assessors. Acknowledgements • Thank you to Surf Life Saving NSW for the funding they provide our clubs through the Lifesaving and Equipment Grant, Support Operation Grant and Emergency Funding Grant. • Our thanks go to the NSW Government for funding digital radios for Hunter surf clubs, and also for grants which helped us to purchase two RWCs and develop a new website. The Federal Government also assisted with funding for an RWC. • HSLS thanks outgoing NSW President Tony Haven AM and Director of Surf Sports Michael Bate for their friendship and service, and the staff of SLSNSW for their extraordinary service to HSLS members.

CENTRAL COAST

The 2015-16 season has been the most successful and exciting one for Surf Life Saving Central Coast (SLSCC) in many years. Plans that had been spoken about by the SLSCC Board and subcommittees for years finally came to fruition with outstanding achievements obtained, and many new initiatives implemented. Achievements • While we had great results across all areas, the outcome that we pride ourselves on most was achieving zero swimming related drownings at Central Coast beaches this season. I would like to thank all our members for their continuing vigilance and service to the community. • A special mention must go to Denver Brown from Wamberal SLSC who won National and NSW Rescue of the Month for November after he rescued two female teenagers who were struggling in a rip off Wamberal Beach. • Avoca Beach SLSC won the NSW Rescue of the Month award for January thanks to the efforts of their surf lifesavers who treated 11 beachgoers who had sustained serious injuries after being knocked over by a freak wave on the rocks south of the clubhouse. • The SLSCC Board of Surf Sports implemented many exciting new initiatives this season which has led to increased participation. Highlights included working with the elite NutriGrain Ironperson Series to provide our grass root U10-U17 aspiring athletes competition opportunities, co-ordinating with the North Coast Boat Series to hold the first combined Boat Series event, the implementation of a unique Board and Ski series with a format not seen before in Surf Life Saving. Goals of this series were that the competitors had fun as well as increasing participation, and this was certainly achieved. • Our Member Services teams continue to deliver many programs targeted at developing and retaining our youth including the Junior Life Saver of the Year, Rookie Lifesaver Program, 13-14 Development Camp, and 15-17 Youth Leadership Program which toured the NSW North Coast • Congratulations to our Junior Lifesaver of the Year winners, Cerys Cousins (MacMasters Beach SLSC) and Dylan Barrett (Ocean Beach SLSC) who represented our Branch at Surf Life Saving NSW’s development program.

• To raise awareness and recognise our amazing surf lifesavers, SLSCC joined forces with the Central Coast Mariners who dedicated one of their home games to Surf Life Saving Central Coast. The players wore a one-off red and yellow uniform, while our surf clubs engaged in pre-game and half time entertainment. The match was televised Australia-wide on Foxtel which was fantastic brand awareness for Surf Life Saving. • SLSCC continues to push the SLSNSW Quality Club Program with our clubs. We are proud that 100% of our clubs registered for this program in 2015-16 and would like to see all clubs gain a minimum of bronze level accreditation next season. • To complement the Quality Club Program, SLSCC partnered with a local accounting firm, Fortunity Chartered Accountants and Financial Advisors, to provide in-kind accounting and auditing advice to SLSCC and our clubs with an overall aim of enhancing transparency, governance and consistency across all entities. • Thank you to our Board of Education, who had another big season and it was fantastic to see the streamlining of forms and processes by SLSNSW to support our Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators. This was a positive step in the right direction and we hope to see SLSNSW add even more efficiencies to education requirements to support our volunteers into the future. Acknowledgements • On behalf of all at SLSCC, I would like to thank our valued partners and supporters at all levels of Surf Life Saving along with Central Coast Council and our local state and federal members. • Thank you to the SLSNSW staff and Directors for your leadership and ongoing support, and thank you to the dedication of the SLSCC Directors, staff and Branch Council for your commitment and positivity, which allows us to continue to grow Surf Life Saving within our region.

SYDNEY NORTHERN BEACHES

It’s an honour to serve and provide stewardship to such a great organisation filled with people endowed with passion, commitment, skills, expertise and professionalism. The 2015-16 season saw no lives lost during our watch thanks to the vigilant efforts of our 21 clubs and their 5,516 patrolling members. I thank all of our volunteers for their efforts throughout the season and everyone who supported us in attaining this outcome. As the statistics show, it was another busy but successful season for Sydney Northern Beaches Branch. We sincerely thank the patrolling members of our 21 clubs for their efforts over what was a long, hot summer, especially through the month of February! Achievements • The Branch continues to focus its efforts towards helping our clubs and we have developed and delivered on a number of initiatives across all portfolios to make life easier at club level. • Congratulations to Yao Xen Tan (North Steyne SLSC) and Michele Kaye & Nigel Kassulke (Manly LSC) who were awarded February National and NSW Rescue of the Month award for reviving a swimmer who was brought to shore not breathing by local surfers at Manly Beach. • My President's Award for this season went to North Steyne SLSC for their initiative in bringing the Sydney Wet’n’Wild Nippers to North Steyne for a "real surf" day. The Sydney Wet’n’Wild Nippers interacted well with the North Steyne Nippers in what is now planned as an annual event. • Surf Sport Highlights included the Branch retaining its Interbranch title for the second year; Manly winning its 7th consecutive NSW Age Championships; Newport winning the NSW Open Championships for the third year running; and at Aussies, Newport coming 3rd, Manly 7th and our clubs claiming 25 per cent of all medals on offer - an outstanding result. • All of our clubs performed at a high level throughout the season as was reflected in our patrol audits. All of our clubs achieved 94% or higher on at least one audit, reflecting the overall high standards. The Branch allocated $20,000 to the top seven place getters in our patrol competition - the money to be spent on lifesaving equipment.

• We are grateful for the support provided by Dee Why RSL Club who provided funding through the Clubs Grant program over three years for a new Surf Rescue vehicle. This new vehicle is being fitted out for use by our Duty Officers for the coming season. • It was another busy season in the Education portfolio. We processed just under 8,000 new awards including over 1,100 advanced lifesaving awards. We continued to assess Bronze and SRC at central venues not only relieving the pressure on our Assessors but also improving the overall standard and uniformity of our assessments. A big thank you to all who are involved in training and assessing within our Branch - you are a wonderful and talented team. • In the Member Services area we had strong participation in our Junior Lifesaver of the Year category with some very capable and inspiring young members being nominated by our clubs. We were thrilled when Ella Cook from Narrabeen Beach SLSC was announced as the female Junior Lifesaver of the Year and commend our male finalist Zizo Ayoub from Dee Why SLSC. Acknowledgements • We thank the NSW Government for their funding which allows our clubs to purchase vital lifesaving equipment each year and for their support with the new surf club lease templates. We value the support provided by our local members of Parliament who take an active involvement within our Branch. • To the Board of Directors and staff at SLSNSW, thank you for your stewardship and assistance to the Branch throughout the year. • We would like to acknowledge outgoing SLSNSW President, Tony Haven AM and thank him for his many years of service. We also welcome newly elected SLSNSW President David Murray who is a past President of SLSSNB and wish him well in his new role.

SYDNEY

The 2015-16 season has been extremely busy for Surf Life Saving Sydney. I have been fortunate to have the same Board supporting me in this, my second season as President. The main focus this season at Branch level has been to ensure we were relevant to our 15 clubs. This meant we were continually striving to deliver value and provide leadership and guidance to all.

North Bondi Patrol 14 rescued a group of swimmers from dangerous conditions near rocks on 23 April 2016. • The 2015-16 Surf Life Saving Sydney Awards of Excellence was a great success and a tribute to the work the Board and office staff put into the evening. The evening saw recognition of the best lifesavers and competitors in our Branch. • The number of new Bronze awards has decreased slightly this season, however we had 3% increase in Bronze proficiency numbers across the Branch. Acknowledgements • I would like to take this opportunity to reconfirm that there were no lives lost between the flags in Sydney Branch and in closing, I sincerely thank the Club Presidents for the continued support you have provided to me and the Board. • To the Board - I wish to extend my sincere thanks for your support and dedication to our Branch.

ILLAWARRA

Congratulations to members of Surf Life Saving Illawarra (SLSI) for another successful season. Well done to our patrolling members whose efforts ensured no lives lost for another year. I am very proud of the hard work and achievements made by each of our 17 clubs throughout the 2015-16 season. Achievements • Congratulations to Helensburgh-Stanwell Park surf lifesavers, Jorja Williams and Keehan Reilly who represented SLSI at the SLSNSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year program. • An outstanding accomplishment was achieved by Bulli SLSC President, Keith Caldwell, who was announced as a Life Member of Surf Life Saving NSW earlier this year. • Bulli surf lifesavers were awarded National and NSW Rescue of the Month for December 2015 thanks to their efforts rescuing six swimmers after a large set of waves barrelled through the flagged area at Bulli Beach and pulled them 100 metres out to sea. • Anthony Turner was an outstanding success in his commitment to Surf Life Saving in his role as Director of Lifesaving. • The 14th season of the Sydney Water Surf Series had close to 1,100 athletes compete over four rounds which included the last round as part of the Summer of Surf series. • A new initiative focusing on the development of our surf sports athletes was established for U12-U19 surf/craft members. A group of between 30-40 athletes registered for the two sessions per week all season. The program assisted clubs in the new Coaching Framework and developed quality/ depth of our Branch team improving skills and results. • The 2016 Australian Championships were a highlight for Illawarra clubs. Congratulations to the Bulli Open Men’s Boat Crew and Helensburgh-Stanwell Park Open Female Beach Relay team who won gold. It was a season to remember for beach sprinter Samuel Zustovich (Helensburgh-Stanwell Park) as he claimed the treble of gold at Branch, State and Aussies in the U14 Male Beach Flags. • SLSI were successful in numerous grants that helped supply our members with three new RWCs, two new beach trailers, three new road trailers and three new radios.

• A big step forward for our Branch was the digital radio network upgrade. • 2015-16 was a very successful season for Illawarra Branch in Education. We had a very strong start to the season with over 50 TAFs attending our pre-season conference held at Wollongong City SLSC and this enthusiasm continued with great attendance numbers at each of our Education meetings. There were 194 new Bronze Medallion holders and a total of 5769 new awards to our Illawarra members. • Trials of electronic paperwork for award processing and streamlining of systems ensured we followed 100% compliance for our Registered Training Organisation requirements. • Community Education achieved plenty of growth this season as we hosted in conjunction with the SLSNSW Academy Education team over 20+ sessions for the Blackspot program, as well as over 40 individual club based events throughout the community. Acknowledgements • SLSI would like to acknowledge and thank our sponsors for their invaluable support throughout the 2015-16 season. • We thank Noreen Hay MP & Ryan Park MP for the Community Building Partnership Grants where we received two RWCs replacing our ageing fleet. • I would also like to acknowledge and thank the SLSI Board for their dedication and continued support throughout the season. Thank you also to our staff for their commitment and support. • The SLSI would also like to thank the SLSNSW Board and staff for their support over the last 12 months, and we are looking forward to an even bigger and better 2016-17 season.

SOUTH COAST

It is with pride I report to you that South Coast Surf Life Saving has continued to provide an outstanding level of patrol and rescue service to the South Coast community. Our lifesaving members are performing to a high level, and have a strong commitment to the safety of everyone who visits our beaches. Our volunteer branch and club administrators contribute a highly valued level of commitment to the operations, administration, support, fundraising and financial service to their clubs. At all levels of the club network if it were not for the volunteers who step up and take on the variety of job roles that a club and branch require we would be in a poor functional and administrative state, I congratulate all for their ongoing efforts. Achievements • The South Coast Branch Community and School Education program was delivered during the months of September to January. The School Education component saw some 2,100 students participate in the program, which was led by our team of Sue Whitford and Adam Woodward. Sessions were delivered in the southern Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Highlands, Goulburn and Braidwood District. • During the peak summer holiday period of December and January our team along with Dr Rob Brander of UNSW delivered our water safety program in conjunction with Rob’s “Science of the Surf” talks to many visiting tourists with the series commencing at Shellharbour SLSC, then Mollymook SLSC and to Bawley Point/Kioloa Community Club. Dr Brander delivered one of his lectures on the beach at Bawley Point following the Bawley Ironman Carnival. • A number of significant sport events were held across the branch during the season. Shellharbour SLSC hosted the Australian Surf Rowers League Open Championships, Branch Championships and a carnival of the Sydney Water Series, and will again host the ASRL Open Championships in 2016-17 season. • Mollymook SLSC hosted the NSW IRB Championships and the SLSA National IRB Championships. Ocean Swim events have become increasingly popular within our clubs over recent years. The Shellharbour Ocean Swim, Gerringong Captain Christie Ocean Swim, Nowra-Culburra’s Tilbury Ocean Swim and Mollymook Ocean swim are increasingly popular

events and a good fundraiser for the surf lifesaving clubs. My congratulations to all south coast clubs, and their volunteer work force in hosting what were outstanding events. • In August of 2015, we held a Clubs Conference at the Watersleigh Youth Works Outdoors Conference Centre, on the upper Shoalhaven River. This was an outstanding event for our club officials to attend. Branch invited a number of guest speakers including NSW Police Shoalhaven Local Area Commander, Joe Cassar, SLSNSW Board Member and Director of Finance, Ms Pip Butt CPA, and Ms Claire Maddon, a social researcher. The club officials who attended the conference acknowledged they received a benefit from attending. • The South Coast Branch Awards evening was attended by 124 club members and guests. It was a great evening with the success and achievements of a number of our members recognised. Naida Guy of Kiama Downs SLSC was awarded the South Coast Branch Surf Lifesaver of the Year. Naida’s involvement in her club extends from organising Nippers, being an age manager, training, a patrol member and a member of the female IRB racing team. Naida is a great ambassador for surf lifesaving. Acknowledgements • I take this opportunity to acknowledge the significant contribution and outstanding support given to the Branch by our supporters who contribute funds which enables South Coast Branch to provide continuing operational support to our nine surf life saving clubs. • In closing, I congratulate all South Coast Branch members involved at all levels from patrol and administration to junior activities and look forward to a safe and rewarding 2016-17 season.

FAR SOUTH COAST

First of all a huge thank you must go to the Far South Coast Branch Executive for their ongoing professionalism in supporting our seven clubs, and of course their members. The hard work and countless hours all our members dedicate to Surf Life Saving needs to be applauded. Another season has finished with all of our clubs fulfilling their patrol agreements, and doing their best to keep beachgoers safe. Sadly this season we lost several dedicated members - Fergus Thomson OAM, Al Armstrong (GBM founding member) and Jamie Woods who was a Wambiri development program stalwart for 17 years. Achievements • Congratulations to Annabelle Smith (Broulee Surfers SLSC) and Jake Shaw (Pambula SLSC) who represented our Branch at the Surf Life Saving NSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year program in April 2016. • The George Bass Surfboat Marathon was our biggest and most successful event this season. Congratulations to Andrew, Sue and the GBM team that pulled it together. Thanks to Bruce and Angela Annabel for their passion for the event through the late “Curly” Annabel, and made a substantial cash injection to make it happen. • Far South Coast clubs achieved great results in the surf this season with some of our boat crews and competitors at Country, State, Aussies and the Warilla Bowls Boat series enjoying success. • Jindabyne Yabbies hosted a carnival this season, taking surf lifesaving to the bush which proved to be a very popular initiative and will prosper for years to come. • Darren Browning and Don Hay did an outstanding job running our RWC services. • Bruce McAslan and Cheryl McCartney of Bermagui SLSC attended the Surf Life Saving NSW 26+ Beyond My Club program. • Thanks to Duty Officers Ken & Anthony Bellete, Don Hay, Ben Bate, Andrew Holt, Harley Dengate and Josh Crouch for their dedication to this challenging role.

• Congratulations to Pambula surf lifesavers Dave Prowse, Hayley Ashcroft, Nick Tondering, Marcia Vitouchova, Karen Griffiths and Frank Davey who won Branch Rescue of the Year after reviving a swimmer who was pulled from the water by family members more than 1km north of the flags in January 2016. • Broulee SLSC won Branch Lifesaving Club of the Year performing 110 rescues, 38 first aids and 386 preventions. • We implemented a U15-U17s program which resulted in 25 IRB, 11 SMAR and 18 new IRB drivers in training so far. We’re looking into funding for the program to continue the amazing work and keep this age group interested in progressing through surf lifesaving. • Our Youth Development Program, Wambiri for U13-U14 members is currently in its 19th year and is still a big hit with quality youngsters coming through the ranks. • The Same Wave Program is experiencing ongoing success with an increased demand and interest from the community. The program is now in its 17th year in Pambula and 5th year in Moruya. • Education has been a strong point of the Far South Coast Branch for many years, and throughout the 2015-16 season we’ve welcomed three new Facilitators, an Assessor and a Trainer to assist educating our members. Acknowledgements • In our little towns on the Far South Coast, there is far more to Surf Life Saving than volunteers in red and yellow protecting our beachgoers. • I’d like to thank Surf Life Saving NSW and their continuing support of us on the Far South Coast. • We are community centres, teaching both young and old what it is to build and retain community spirit. I congratulate our 2156 members across seven clubs for contributing the time it takes. Thank you to the Branch Directors that keep this all together, and finally my wife Judy for her support always.

NEW LIFE MEMBERS

Ken Sellers - The Entrance Ken’s journey into Surf Life Saving began when he joined The Lakes club back in 1969. In 1978 he made the move to The Entrance where he became a Life Member in 1988 and later served as president in two separate stints. Between 1972 and 2012, Ken was on active patrol duty for 38 consecutive seasons. He has been a Branch official since 1990, served as Central Coast Surf Sports Director, and was rewarded with Branch Life Membership in 2008. He continues to mentor beach officials and is a familiar face around carnivals having officiated at a state, national and international level over the years.

Howard Jones - Avoca Beach Popularly known as Spike, Howard has been involved with Surf Life Saving for over 60 years and has demonstrated incredible loyalty to his two clubs South Narrabeen and Avoca Beach where he has earned Life Membership in 1972 and 1997 respectively having also earned Junior Branch Life Membership in 1991 and Branch Life Membership in 2012. Howard has served as club captain, patrol captain, and vice president of South Narrabeen and been a club coach at Avoca Beach since 1980. He has mentored hundreds of kids as a coach over the years with many going on to achieve outstanding results during their careers. He has a keen interest in lifesaving administration, and having worked as a professional lifeguard has always been generous with his knowledge of water safety.

Jenny Drury - South Curl Curl Jenny has been involved with Surf Life Saving for almost 40 years and like many Australian parents first took an interest due to her children’s involvement in Nippers. She is just the fifth woman to receive Life Membership of SLSNSW and has been heavily involved at club and branch Level. She has been assistant secretary at South Curl Curl, competition manager, and is currently the part time administration manager at the club. Between 1985 and 2005 she worked as branch administration officer for Sydney Northern Beaches. An accredited official since 1991 she is well known among boaties on the circuit and has progressed from being an area recorder through to becoming a championship referee. Jenny has received the Distinguished Service Award (1998/99) for the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch as well as Life Membership in 2006. She was also named SLSNSW Administrator of the Year in the 1997/98 season.

Keith Caldwell – Bulli For almost four decades, the name Keith Caldwell has been synonymous with the Bulli Surf Life Saving Club. Keith’s journey began in 1976 when he joined the club as a cadet lifesaver. A multi-talented surf sport’s competitor, he earned medals at a branch, state and national level in a variety of disciplines both on the beach and in the water. With his competition days over and his passion for surf sports still burning, he turned to coaching and managing to stay in the game. Keith has been involved with Illawarra Branch, NSW and Australian representative teams and was Open Team Manager at the 2012 and 2014 World Lifesaving Championships. Aside from his involvement in surf sports, his dedication to his club is something to be admired and he has juggled many administrative roles over the years. He was made a Life Member of Bulli in 2008 and of the Illawarra Branch in 2014.

Barry Antella OAM – Queenscliff Barry’s involvement in Surf Life Saving began in 1974 and during his time he has dedicated himself to serving his club and the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch. He obtained his Bronze Medallion in 1994 and currently holds over 180 Awards. As a trainer and assessor he has supervised over 2,600 awards. He has also served as an official, club captain and senior vice president of his club and was made a Life Member of Queenscliff in 2005 and of the Branch in 2007. Over the years Barry has been heavily involved in maintaining all the gear and equipment for various championships, which is a huge logistical challenge. He is also a valued member of ‘Dad’s Army.’

Colin Laing - North Entrance Colin has been a familiar face on beaches in The Entrance and North Entrance for over five decades after obtaining his Bronze Medallion in 1958. Having developed a passion for competing and patrolling in his formative years in Surf Life Saving he is still actively involved in both, achieving sustained success along the way. The lure of the water runs strong within the family with Colin introducing his children to the club environment with his grandchildren also continuing on the tradition. He has been described locally as the “mastermind” behind the formation of the North Entrance club and served as foundation president in 1976. Colin gained Life Membership at The Entrance in 1975, North Entrance 1988, and for the Central Coast Branch in 2009, and has served Surf Life Saving in many areas including officiating and assessing.

Stuart Harvey - Avoca Beach Stuart is a respected member of the Central Coast Surf Life Saving family having been heavily involved in all aspects for over three decades. He has been involved with three local clubs; Copacabana, Soldiers Beach and Avoca Beach and has played an active role at both branch and state level working tirelessly for the betterment of the movement. He is currently the Central Coast Branch President, a position he has held since 2009, a State Duty Officer and a Branch Duty Officer among other roles. Stuart can often be found providing water safety for junior carnivals and was an enthusiastic IRB competitor enjoying plenty of success at all levels, and toured to Hong Kong in 1994. He is a recipient of a Meritorious Award For Bravery for his efforts during a 2005 rescue, which was also recognised by the International Lifesaving Federation.
