Who are We
Why We eXist
our vision
surf life saving queensland (slsq) is the state’s
peak beach safety and rescue authority and one of
the largest volunteer-based community service
organisations in australia.
slsq is built on a fundamental principle: to save lives.
Zero preventable deaths in queensland waters.
from humble beginnings when the first recorded rescue
on a queensland beach was made in 1909, slsq is now
an efficient and vibrant organisation with more than
31,000 members.
it was established in 1930 and is the governing body for
surf lifesaving in queensland, comprising 59 affiliated
surf lifesaving clubs in six regional branches. the
organisation also includes supporters’ clubs with
more than 200,000 members.
slsq is directly affiliated with, and is part of,
surf life saving australia (slsa) and the international
life saving federation (ils).
our organisation encompasses several diverse arms –
lifesaving services, community education, membership
services, surf sports, fundraising, commercial training –
but they all support one overarching purpose.
queensland’s mainland coastline is extensive, stretching
over 6,000kms from the gulf of carpentaria in the west
and cape york in the north to point danger in the south
east. With more than 700 accessible beaches along this
expanse, it boasts some of the world’s most popular sandy
stretches, attracting around 30 million visits to our beaches
every year.
our mission
slsq will operate as a proactive and effective peak body,
leading the way in lifesaving service provision, education,
sport, beach safety advocacy and community leadership.
our strategic imperatives
committed to our community – to advocate on water
safety management and continue to enhance the
reputation of slsq as the peak body.
despite significant advances in technology,
techniques and knowledge, people still drown or die
on queensland beaches.
connected to our people – to recruit and retain the best
people through support and development of their skills
and knowledge.
slsq aims to set the benchmark in lifesaving service
provision, rescue practices, emergency care and training
and education as we strive to make our coastline safer
for everyone who uses it. a commitment to continuous
improvement across all areas of our operation ensures we
are highly regarded both in australia and around the world.
effective in our business – to plan and execute our day-today operations to an outstanding level of efficiency, with
continuous improvement always in mind.
iv
sustainable for the future – to ensure our future through
continuous growth, strong financial management and
sound governance.

ms penelope Wensley ac
governor of queensland
as patron of surf life saving queensland i am pleased to
have the opportunity provided by this annual report to
extend greetings to all members, staff and supporters
of this vital community organisation and to convey
my thanks and appreciation to everyone who has
contributed to its activities and achievements over the
past twelve months.
in our beautiful state, with its myriad of beaches and
waterways, where enjoyment of the water is a way of
life for most queenslanders and an enormous drawcard
for visitors and tourists, bringing significant economic
benefit to the state, the value of the contribution that
slsq makes to our community is difficult to over-state.
yet at times, i worry that the services it provides are at
risk of being taken for granted - so familiar are we with
that reassuring presence on our beaches: the clubs, the
look-out towers, the red and yellow flags, the patrols, the
boats, the surf skis, the competitions, that we forget the
deadly seriousness of their purpose - to keep us safe and
to save lives. and because surf life savers and slsq have
been part of the queensland beachscape for so long —
with the first recorded surf rescue in queensland taking
place in 1909 and slsq itself formed in 1930 — we have
perhaps become complacent, simply assuming they will
continue forever.
Which is why, as patron, i am eager to use every possible
opportunity — including this annual report — to draw
attention to the great work carried out by slsq and to
remind fellow queenslanders that although this is a highly
professional, efficient organisation, it is also a volunteerbased, not-for-profit organisation that needs strong
community support to maintain its operations and deliver
those essential services.
hon campbell neWman mp
the premier of queensland
in this regard, i have been pleased to see the work
and effort slsq has committed, during the year under
review, to expanding its outreach services, strengthening
partnerships, pursuing its ongoing 'process of renewal'
and — importantly — to develop strategies to promote the
role of young people in the organisation and to encourage
more young queenslanders to become involved with life
saving.
the image of a red and yellow clad lifesaver on a beautiful
beach is an australian icon recognised around the world.
queenslanders are rightfully proud of the fantastic work
that surf life saving queensland does on our beaches.
the theme of this 2012–13 report 'surf life saving
queensland's youth — the way of the future' is thus a
great choice, which i hope will attract not only a wider
readership than usual for an annual review of this kind,
but will help draw new members and supporters to the
organisation.
this is emphasised by the theme for 2013: Queensland's
youth — The way of the future. during the 2013
queensland floods, young lifesavers from a range of
clubs volunteered to run first aid stations, door knocked,
checked on elderly residents, led evacuees from
helicopters, and helped with the huge cleanup in hard hit
areas like bundaberg.
finally, reflecting on some of the challenges that
queensland faced in the past year, i take this opportunity
also to highlight the efforts of the slsq staff, members and
volunteers who responded so quickly and effectively to
provide assistance to the people of bundaberg and other
communities affected by the floods, storms and tornados
that struck queensland in early 2013. your willingness to
take risks to save the lives of others was in the best spirit
of the mission and purpose of surf life saving queensland
and on behalf of all queenslanders, i thank you for your
commitment and dedication to this noble cause.
2
this is why it was recognised as a queensland great
in 2007. We can be equally proud of the work that the
organisation is doing off the beaches, particularly with
our youth.
these community−spirited young people have benefitted
greatly from surf life saving queensland's excellent
training programs and careful mentoring by their seniors.
the floods showed that they have not only learnt life
saving skills, but life skills, such as leadership, team work
and responsibility. these are applicable in all walks of life
to the benefit of the whole community.
i commend surf life saving queensland and its lifesavers.
We send them our congratulations, respect and support.

people. this report highlights the outstanding work
being done in this area. congratulations to all staff and
volunteers: “surf life saving queensland’s youth —
the Way of our future”.
the councillors elect the board every year, so the slsq

understanding and support. to John taylor oam and mal
barnes, our retiring branch presidents, thank you for your

behalf of all of its members.

reporT from THe cHief eXecuTive officer
i would like to thank slsq’s president, ralph devlin qc for
his support and leadership during some inspiring and at
times, challenging times. i would also like to congratulate
ralph for his promotion to queen’s counsel (qc) which
is very well deserved for the great work he has performed
during his career in the legal profession.

WhaT an

communiTies.
once again our members were recognised with awards
for the selfless work they do within surf lifesaving and their
communities, with australia day honours and queen’s
birthday honours list ceremonies. the recipients are:
• glen garrick oam – alexandra headland slsc
• ronald forte oam – burleigh heads/mowbray park slsc
• claude Jeanneret oam – northcliffe slsc
• mark fife oam – broadbeach slsc
our vision of “zero preventable deaths in queensland
waters” is supported and fostered across slsq through our
strategic imperatives headlined below. it’s these strategic
imperatives that are not only advanced through the great
work of our surf lifesavers, but can also be seen in the selfless
deeds and commitment that our younger surf lifesavers
display on the beach and in their communities. this brings
me to the theme of this year’s annual report: “surf life
saving queensland’s youth — the Way of our future”.
our youth have been prominent in many areas of surf
lifesaving, including saving lives on and off the beaches,
assisting with youth development and nipper training
in all regions, assisting during the bundaberg floods
and recovery effort, as well as assisting residents, many
elderly, cut off from food, water and electricity on mount
tamborine during the extreme weather events from ex
tropical cyclone oswald. once again, our u14 Junior surf
lifesaver of the year was awarded to one of our northern
juniors — congratulations alex finney from mackay slsc.
our young surf lifesavers’ great work and dedication to the
surf lifesaving movement is reassuring knowing that the
future of this great organisation will be in capable hands.
Committed to our community
in 2012/13, slsq continued its commitment to keeping
our beach visitors safe by maintaining dawn patrols all year
round on the gold coast; roving and surveillance patrols
on the ground, in the water and air in remote areas during
busy holiday times; introducing dusk patrols in peak
holiday periods and installing a surveillance camera in
tallebudgera creek to help prevent drownings.
ongoing funding commitment from the queensland
government enables slsq to keep queenslanders
and visitors to our beaches safe in, on and around our
popular waterways. queensland has such a wide and
wonderful array of natural and man-made waterways that
providing effective safety and survival skills, knowledge,
protection and emergency care, requires a comprehensive
and coordinated approach. through the continued
government funding slsq has been able to provide and
grow our quality lifesaving services across the state.
once again queensland experienced extreme weather
events. as ex tropical cyclone oswald created havoc and
closed beaches, they disappeared forming dangerous
sand cliffs, our surf lifesavers were on the ground keeping
people safe.
during this time, our commitment to emergency
management once again came to the forefront when slsq
emergency response groups in affected areas were put on
alert and activated to assist their communities.
our Westpac lifesaver helicopter rescue service was
tasked to bundaberg during the floods to assist with the
mass evacuations and on the ground, our red and yellow
army assisted any way they could during the floods and
recovery effort.
unfortunately during the 2012/13 season eight people
drowned on queensland’s beaches, one less than the
previous season. our first line of defence is education
and information through our community awareness
6
programs and it’s these programs that will help break
the drowning cycle.
We reached over 300,000 people through slsq’s
community awareness initiatives across queensland
last season. it is through the generous financial support
from our valued partners — queensland department of
aboriginal and torres strait islander and multicultural
affairs, department of communities, queensland health
— as well as sponsors supporting these increasingly
popular and vital programs that we are able to progress
towards breaking the drowning cycle.
it is also thanks to the tireless effort of the surf life saving
foundation (slsf) and their fundraising activities that
we are able to continue to service the communities of
queensland in keeping our beaches safe.
increased crocodile numbers in north queensland have
become a concern around beaches and waterways. slsq
north queensland regional manager colin sparkes was
invited to be a part of the newly formed north queensland
community advisory group for crocodile management
along with other north queensland and queensland
government representatives. this group will ensure
the queensland government’s policy approach is both
practical and effective.
Connected to our people
our people are the foundation of slsq and their
commitment as well as their passion for the movement
is second to none. We continually develop and support
programs that help enhance our members’ experience,
giving them a sense of what they can achieve in their clubs,
the organisation and personally.
in sport, slsq continues to expand the ongoing
development and training of its members involved in surf
sports programs, from recreation to elite level and from
nippers to masters. our coaches and officials continually
update their skills with the latest training criteria,
paTrons, Honours and life memBers
playing an integral role in delivering sports programs
at club, branch, state, national and in december 2012,
at international level.
in the last 12 months we have seen the continued growth
of new and existing members join brisbane lifesaving
service (bls). bls has assisted a number of clubs in patrol
services as well as being involved in disaster management
operations throughout queensland during disasters in the
summer months.
the inaugural slsq memorial day was held on
sunday 5 may 2013 — the final day of the south east
queensland patrol season. the event acts as a poignant
reminder of the dangers of the surf and provides the
opportunity to farewell slsq members and members of
the general public who have passed on. people of all ages
gathered to commemorate, reflect, say goodbye and look
towards the future. the memorial day also promoted our
key safety messages.
effective in our business
in september 2012, slsq signed an agreement with
the queensland police service (qps) to trial a new slsq
rescue helicopter with an slsq pilot and qps crew, for 13
weeks. due to the success of this trial, slsq was successful
in the tender to run the qps helicopter on the gold coast
until June 2014, with a two-year extension option.
We are also expanding our professional services on the
beach. in august 2012, slsq signed an agreement with
the sunshine coast council to manage the sunshine coast
council lifeguards. this proved a resounding success
with many of the lifeguards increasing their skills through
higher award qualifications, including a group qualifying
as helicopter search and rescue crew. this brings the
number of queensland als lifeguards to over 250
patrolling queensland beaches.
slsq is also finalising a 10 year business aviation plan
which will see the aviation division grow services across
the state. this approach will achieve three key outcomes
for slsq:
1. ensure slsq continues to provide high level support to
fully funding hours for beach patrols
2. produce additional income from the aviation division to
fund other slsq services and programs
3. strengthen slsq’s reputation as a proactive and
effective peak body.
sustainable for the future
following the appointment of a human resources
officer over 12 months ago, our hr policies, procedures,
recruitment processes and role descriptions have been
developed further and updated bringing more of the
responsibility in-house with assistance when required from
Watts next human resource consultants.
slsq’s membership development department continues
to build sustainable solutions to increase membership
participation, including the nippers program, the youth
development program where we mentor and develop
tomorrow’s surf life saving leaders, and state open day.
thanks to these programs, we are well positioned through
our youth leaders to take slsq into the future.
slsq is continuing to implement its regional structure
and employment of slsq staff with the skills to support
the diverse activities undertaken in the regions. this will
support slscs and branch officers. the gold coast region
opened its new office in december 2012 to support the
south coast branch, the point danger branch and surf
clubs in the region. the new north queensland regional
office opened its doors at the end of June this year and will
support the five clubs from mission beach to port douglas,
slsq support operations, community education and
als lifeguards.
it is through these ongoing activities and the support of
our staff, members and supporters that allows slsq as
an organisation to continually move forward. thank you
for your involvement in this great organisation and i look
forward to our continuing slsq’s future together.

our sTraTegY To minimise incidenTs of droWning
the international life saving federation (ils) has identified
four factors that may lead to drowning. these are:
1. lack of knowledge, disregard or misunderstanding of
the hazard
2. uninformed, unprotected or unrestricted access to the
hazard
3. lack of supervision or surveillance
4. an inability to cope once in difficulty
any one of these factors, or a combination of them, can
lead to death by drowning.
an understanding of these factors, and how they
contribute to drowning, helps in the design of drowning
prevention strategies. four strategies were developed to
help reduce the drowning cycle. these are:
4. acquisition of survival skills — to promote the learning
of survival skills. in addition to slsq’s community
awareness programs, the member services
department conducts programs for slsq members,
including nippers, junior surf lifesavers and the general
community. members of the public can undertake
basic first aid training to more advanced lifesaving
courses and slsq members have the opportunity to
train, through to advanced nationally recognised surf
lifesaving awards. refer to pages 20 to 49 for further
information.
these strategies are represented below.
1. education and information — to increase knowledge
through quality public education and awareness.
slsq runs extensive community awareness programs
throughout the year. refer to pages 20 to 49 for further
information.
2. denial of access, improvement of infrastructure and/
or provision of warnings — to promote safe aquatic
environments. lifesaving services, through its patrol
smart initiatives, future service priorities, research and
development, coastal risk management and coastal
audits for local governments, promotes safe aquatic
environments. further information can be found in the
lifesaving services section starting on page 12.
3. provision of supervision — to provide quality lifesaving
services. surf lifesavers and the australian lifeguard
service (als) provide supervision on patrolled beaches
along the queensland coastline. further information on
these services can be found in the lifesaving services
section starting on page 12.

corporaTe governance
slsq is one of the largest volunteer organisations in
queensland and is affiliated to, as well as subject to,
the control of slsa’s board of directors. slsq has full
control over all affiliated branches, clubs and auxiliary
organisations within the state of queensland.
the role of the board and committee
slsq’s board and committee structure is critical to
ensuring volunteer representation in key decisions. the
various committees outlined on page 59 were established
by the board to assist slsq assess management standards
and improve them where necessary. the board, where
necessary, can establish special purpose committees and
panels to oversee the management of special projects,
programs or other purposes. the following standing
committees can be established by the board to assist
in the better management of slsq and surf life saving
generally: life saving, surf sports, membership services,
administration & information technology.
the primary functions of the board are to govern and
provide leadership to slsq, affiliated branches and clubs
and members in accordance with the aims and objectives
of slsq, the law and slsq constitution. the board is
responsible for acting on all issues in accordance with the
slsq’s objectives, and operates for the benefit of slsq,
members and communities throughout queensland.
board composition
slsq’s board comprises the president, the deputy
president, the director of finance, four directors, two
independent directors and the ceo who is a non-voting
member of the board. a director must be a member of
slsq and independent directors may or may not be

Code of conduct
nominees for director positions are required to agree to
slsq’s ‘code of conduct’ for directors. candidates must
sign their acceptance to comply with this code on their
nomination form. the code of conduct is contained within
the directors’ handbook, which is provided to all directors
upon their election at the annual general meeting.
board meetings and access to management
the board meets as often as is deemed necessary in every
calendar year for the dispatch of business. five directors
may at any time ask the ceo to convene a meeting of the
board and subject to slsq’s constitution, questions at any
board meeting are decided by a majority of votes by the
board of directors.
independence
at the commencement of each board meeting, the chair
asks for directors to declare conflicts of interest in any
agenda items.
decisions by the board can be challenged subject to the
direction of the constitution and any decisions are made at
the following council meeting.
the ceo ensures the resolutions of the board are properly
and efficiently carried out and transacts all business of
slsq between board meetings and general meetings of
the council.

recommended to the council by the board.
obtaining independent advice
the board is assisted in aspects of its operations with
external advice. lander and rogers lawyers were engaged
to provide our legal services at the annual general meeting
in august 2012, for a period of 12 months. our auditors,
ernst & young, conduct an annual internal audit, giving
the board independent assurance and advice on financial
management matters.
other consultants engaged by slsq over the past 12
months include:
• Jardine lloyd thompson australia pty ltd – insurance
advice and services
• Wattsnext – human resource services
• gpp consulting – aviation business planning
• astute consulting – leadership and governance
• brand ambassadors – sponsorship support
Human resources
slsq’s human resources (hr) function focused on
implementing best practice hr frameworks, processes
and systems over the past 12 months. as a result,
improvements were made to a variety of areas.
hiring practices
internal recruitment is promoted at slsq to ensure
current employees have access to career progression
opportunities. our recruitment processes have
continuously improved, resulting in more efficient and
effective hires. all selection decisions were made on the
basis of merit using robust and consistent assessment
methods.
role descriptions were reviewed prior to the
commencement of any recruitment process to enable
ongoing assessment of positions and the relevance of
them in relation to the needs of the business.
inductions
enhancements to our induction process ensured new
employees began their careers with slsq with a positive
experience and clarity around what to expect from their
new role. throughout their induction, new employees
experienced a professional and comprehensive program
informing them of key business priorities, ensuring they
understood the slsq culture and values and had the
opportunity to meet the entire slsq senior management
group during one of our regular divisional briefings.
performance reviews
the performance review process was reviewed and
adjusted in response to management and employee
feedback. the bi-annual reviews provide managers and
their team members with the opportunity to have open
and meaningful conversations about a variety of topics
including staff performance which is assessed against Kpis,
staff morale, career aspirations and satisfaction levels.
the goal of the reviews is to ensure staff receive feedback
critical to their development and the identification of
training needs for the coming six months.
our performance reviews also provide an opportunity
for managers and staff to assess their engagement and
alignment with slsq’s organisational vision and values.
employee remuneration reviews
the annual remuneration reviews were conducted
throughout June as scheduled and all permanent
employees received notification by 1 July 2013.
professional development
slsq aims to provide a supportive environment for the
professional development of our staff. over the past 12
months, we were pleased to see staff complete a number
of training interventions including certificates, traineeships
and diplomas. We currently have two middle managers
working towards their diploma of management, due for
completion in early 2014.
human resource policies
slsq’s hr policies were reviewed, with new policies such
as the flexible Work arrangements endorsed by the senior
management group. a number of slsa polices were also
adopted, such as sun safety and lightning, applying to
both our volunteers and our staff in the course of their
work. the policy review ensures we remain compliant with
current legislative requirements and provide optimum
conditions for our staff.
staff engagement
feedback from performance reviews, exit interviews and
informal interactions with staff has indicated staff morale
has improved over the past 12 months. however, a survey
is required to gain accurate and useable information. the
slsq staff engagement survey is scheduled for december
2013.
organisational restructure
at the end of 2012 there was a request for employee
feedback. as a result of that feedback a number of changes
were made to the structure of the organisation.
10
the key changes were as follows:
• the executive leadership group (elg) was re-named the
senior management group (smg) and now includes two
new divisions; finance and regional support.
• managing the regional support division, craig holden
was appointed to the role of regional operations
manager and provides support to the four regional
managers. these changes have enabled george hill,
chief operating officer, who previously oversaw regional
operations, to focus on the business at a more executive
level rather than an operational one.
• richard murphy, finance manager moved into the
smg and is responsible for managing the newly created
finance division. as finance was previously a department
of our administration and compliance division, this
change has enabled craig Williams, administration and
compliance manager, to focus more on the critical risk
and compliance components of the organisation.
• the commercial training department now sits within the
finance division to better align it with the financial side of
the organisation.
reviewed at the executive and board level, these changes
were made effective from 27 may 2013. all changes were
put in place to increase the presence of regional operations
and finance at a senior management level and realign some
parts of the business.
hr planning
the human resource strategic plan was developed and will
be presented to the board in July 2013 and is aligned with
the organisations overall objectives and strategic plans.
the acquisition of the sunshine coast council lifeguard
service resulted in an overall increase in staff levels however
we did experience high turnover across some divisions
throughout the year. our exit interview data indicates a
number of areas that we can work on to help retain our staff.
an example of this is the rewards and recognition program
project due for commencement in January 2014.

2012/13 season overvieW
surf life saving is built on the strength of its members. the
successes of this great association are a direct result of the
management and commitment, dedication and passion
that all our members bring to slsq.
While our core business focuses on saving lives, the
organisation continues to set the benchmark in areas
beyond the beach environment. today, our service is all
encompassing as we provide consultancy services and
form partnerships with local authorities to provide the best
possible services to the wider queensland community.

vOlUnTEER pATROl HOURs
during the 2012/13 season, slsq was again faced
with challenging and extreme weather patterns across
queensland. volunteer surf lifesavers, the ‘red and yellow
army’, were on the ground in each emergency and
assisted with rescues and keeping people safe on and off
the beaches.
in late January, surf lifesavers were on the ground,
in the water and in the air in the bundaberg region
rescuing people from their flooded homes. they helped
stranded residents into rescue boats, assisted people
out of the Westpac lifesaver helicopter rescue service,
administered first aid, handed out food and water and
offered a listening ear. once the roads were open,
volunteer surf lifesavers arrived from the sunshine coast to
assist with the cleanup effort, and relieve and support the
bundaberg region volunteer surf lifesavers.
13
many of the association’s youth volunteered their time
during the bundaberg floods and throughout the flood
recovery cleanup. some had only just started patrolling
during the 2012/13 patrol season, while others had been
patrolling at their local slsc for many years. this is a great
indication of the future of surf life saving in queensland.
volunteer surf lifesavers assisted the mt tamborine
community in the gold coast hinterland during the
January 2013 floods, conducting a door knock to check on
the safety of residents, many of whom were elderly.
many of queensland’s surf beaches with great sandy
sweeps to the ocean sustained major damage and erosion,
causing unstable and hazardous sand cliffs. ocean flood
debris became a danger to beachgoers resulting in many
beaches being closed for long periods. during this time,
our volunteer surf lifesavers were on the beach to keep
beachgoers safe.
however, even with the great effort by our volunteer
surf lifesavers and our australian lifeguard service,
there were eight beach-related drownings recorded on
the queensland coast from July 2012 to June 2013. all
drownings were male visitors to the beach and were
outside the red and yellow flagged areas.
once again our youth, including our nippers, were
saving lives, not just in queensland’s waters, but while
on holidays overseas. many of these selfless rescues by
people so young became inspirational stories published in
the australian media.
brisbane lifesaving service (bls) continues to grow with
people from the brisbane area completing their bronze
medallions volunteering their time to assist slscs with
patrols of beaches and waterways where required. due to
the success of the bls, we are considering expanding this
service to other communities.
our australian lifeguard service (als) has also increased. in
october 2012, we commenced the als with sunshine coast
council lifeguards, bringing the number of queensland als
lifeguards to over 250 patrolling our beaches. some of these
lifeguards have commenced training to become qualified
helicopter search and rescue crew.
With the rise of crocodile numbers in far north
queensland, slsq was invited to join the newly formed
north queensland community advisory group for
crocodile management, advising the queensland
government on how to best manage reptiles in the region.
it is important to note, all of these achievements would not
be possible without the support of federal, state and local
governments, sponsors, donors, our red and yellow army
of over 8,550 patrolling volunteers who give up their time
to ensure the safety of others, as well as 250 als lifeguards.
feWer incidents of droWning
Queensland’s recorded beach-related drownings
• beach-related drownings decreased from the previous
year, from nine* to eight
• there were no drownings between slsq’s red and
yellow flags
• three drownings occurred outside of patrol services
hours (slsq, council or other services)
• five drownings occurred on gold coast beaches
• all drowning victims were male
• there were no drownings in the 0-21 years age group
*The slsQ 2011/12 annual report stated that eight beach-related
drownings occurred in that year, however an additional beach-related
drowning was identified following the publication of the annual report.
neW ‘patrol smart’ initiatives
slsq is the state’s peak authority for lifesaving activities
and beach safety. in 2012/13, we continued to expand and
grow our lifesaving services. some of the key initiatives
from the past year include:
• dawn patrols continued on the gold coast each
morning. this includes the use of a 4Wd and rescue
Water craft (rWc) to patrol the beaches before
traditional services commence. in peak times, a second
4Wd and jet ski is used.
• night time operations training was developed and
trialled on the gold coast. this included the use of
multiple services, such as inflatable rescue boats (irb),
rescue Water craft (rWc), Jet rescue boats (Jrb) and
the slsq Westpac lifesaver helicopter rescue service.
night time emergency response kits have also been
developed and deployed to key locations throughout
the state.
• emergency response callouts more than doubled.
slsq has a dedicated phone number available 24/7
for emergency services personnel to call for assistance.
after-hours callouts increased from 50 in 2011/2012 to
more than 120 in 2012/13.
emergency response groups
slsq’s 24-hour emergency response groups (ergs)
work side-by-side with other emergency service agencies.
these include the queensland police service, queensland
fire and rescue service, emergency management
queensland, state emergency services, and local, district
and state disaster management groups. the ergs are
designed to be an after-hours callout service, providing
our lifesaving skills and equipment to complement and
support emergency services personnel.
in 2011, we were offered a position on the state disaster
management group, to provide ongoing assistance to
the state in the unfortunate event of a disaster.
14
We are also members, or observers, of the following
disaster management groups:
• state disaster coordination centre – member
• gold coast city council – member
• redland city council – member
• brisbane city council – observer
• moreton bay regional council – member
• sunshine coast regional council – member
• fraser coast council – member
• bundaberg regional council – member
• gladstone regional council – member
• townsville city council – observer
• cassowary coast – observer
• cairns regional council – observer
our emergency response role in the 2013 bundaberg
floods is an example of our capability in this field and is
detailed on page13 of this report.
brisbane lifesaving service
the brisbane lifesaving service (bls) had an exceptional
year in 2012/13, increasing patrolling hours, training and
new member numbers.
patrolling activity increased significantly to over 1,960 hours
during the year, spread across 11 queensland beaches.
this included patrols at sunshine beach, peregian, bilinga,
surfers paradise, tallebudgera creek, Kirra, tweed heads
and coolangatta, palm beach, rainbow bay, point lookout
and the southport broadwater. as a comparison, patrolling
activity in 2011/2012 was 431 hours. in addition, water
safety activity totalled 905 hours for the year.
bls trained 87 members during the year, with 64 of these
comprising new bronze medallion holders. at the same
time, membership increased from 33 bronze medallion
holders in 2011/2012 to 87 bronze medallion holders in
2012/13.
the service assisted the tamborine mountain community
flood relief in January 2013 and provided water safety
support at the australian surf life saving at north Kirra and
the brisbane river regatta.

in 2012/13, we continued to grow and extend our service,
including:
• continued roving and surveillance patrols on
moreton island during the peak holiday periods from
tangalooma to north point by rescue Water craft (sea)
and 4Wd (land). Key peak areas were the tangalooma
Wrecks and north point.
• continued noosa north shore roving patrols during
september school holidays, christmas and easter
holidays, using surveillance patrols to monitor remote
camping areas.
• introduced gold coast afternoon patrols in the peak
holiday season due to the increase in beach visitation
after the club’s patrols had ceased for the day.
• continuation of dawn patrols across the gold coast
365 days per year.
• continuation of daily roving patrols along inskip point
during peak holiday period.
• continued to operate the sunshine coast surfcom 365
days per year.
• the Westpac lifesaver helicopter rescue service
continued its patrols from the tweed river to inskip point.
• continued mid-week rescue Water craft patrols on the
gold and sunshine coasts during peak school holidays.
• purchased five new rescue Water craft with the
assistance of the queensland government department
of community safety. these craft replaced fleet in key
locations on the gold and sunshine coasts.

conducted coastal audits at the maroochy river mouth
and tallebudgera creek precincts.
three key initiatives received federal government black
spot funding in 2012/13, allowing slsq to purchase the
following:
• a new coastal safety camera at main beach, gold
coast. this area is extremely popular for swimmers and
there are long stretches without any lifesaving services.
there have been several drownings and many near
misses in the area over the past 12 years.
• a 6m offshore rescue boat for moreton bay. this boat
will provide coverage for moreton island on weekends
in summer and the lower moreton bay islands
with surveillance patrols and emergency response
capabilities.
• additional search and rescue equipment for night
time operations to further assist emergency response
teams. this includes upgrading the current dawn
patrol/duty officer vehicle based on the gold coast.
•
future service priorities
slsq personnel strive to continually provide the best
service to the community. staff and volunteers ensure the
most up-to-date gear and equipment is maintained and
meets standards by completing the following:
• compiled state-wide gear and equipment priority
needs for all clubs four times a year.
• completed state-wide training gear and equipment
audits for all clubs twice a year.
• completed an annual state-wide patrol tower and
trailer equipment audit.
• introduced ipads and smart phones for duty officers to
record online information.
a key priority of the state lifesaving committee is to
ensure that current services are maintained and future
services are identified and implemented based on
an in-depth analysis of preventative actions, rescues,
drownings and other statistics. as slsq continues to work
towards achieving zero preventable deaths in queensland
waters, the following services and areas were identified as
priorities to work toward our goal:
• continue to sustain and grow existing relationships
with the department of community safety and
emergency management queensland.
• the band-width network upgrade is now complete and
a communications expansion is planned, comprising a
new digital radio system with gps tracking devices.
• continue to monitor and trial the coastal Watch
camera network and grow our camera surveillance

services
lifesaving assistance funds
department of Community safety
vital funding from the department of community safety
(dcs) ensures slsq has the resources and trained
personnel to keep beaches safe and extend services across
queensland. at the beginning of the 2012/2013 patrolling
season, queensland experienced a change of government.
in october 2012, slsq received confirmation that funding
was secured in the areas identified below:
• lifesaving services development fund: dcs/slsQ
sustainability and more beaches under guard grants.
these grants enable slscs and branches to make an
application for lifesaving equipment to sustain their
existing patrols and to further expand beach patrols.
• volunteer marine rescue support package: this
includes funding to all clubs and branches to maintain
their current services across the state.
• regional development fund: this provides funding
to improve beach safety services to queensland
communities north of the sunshine coast, with
$320,000 provided to slsq in 2012/13.
• Westpac lifesaver helicopter rescue service: this
funding allows slsq to conduct a dedicated rescue
helicopter service on the gold and sunshine coasts.
John Villiers trust
the John villiers trust granted $37,536 in 2012/13 to
mackay slsc and eimeo slsc.
members of the mackay slsc perform volunteer
beach patrols from the mackay marina rock Wall to the
river mouth, including harbour beach. the funding
received from the trust will allow the club to purchase
a fully equipped all terrain vehicle (atv), allowing the
resumption of roving beach patrols along the entire 5km
length of beach and increase preventative actions.
the eimeo slsc, between bowen and mackay, received
$17,300 for a patrol trailer. this will give the club the
ability to establish a temporary beach patrol at popular
beach entry points, or at identified rip currents, making
the beaches safer. this also allows the club to increase
the visibility of surf lifesavers and assist in the delivery of
community education.
Cory Charitable Foundation
the cory charitable foundation has supported slsq and
various clubs throughout queensland for the past seven
years. point lookout slsc secured the cory charitable
foundation grant this year to purchase vital lifesaving
and resuscitation training equipment. point lookout
slsc patrols two beaches on north stradbroke island and
has limited access to emergency services. through the
foundation, the club received two cpr mannequins for
resuscitation training and two hard surf rescue boards.
inkind sponsorship
the following individuals and companies have provided
generous donations to slsq over the past year and we
thank them for their generous support:
• charlie schwerkolt from queensland forklifts donated
in excess of $160,000 worth of equipment to the
Westpac lifesaver helicopter rescue service.
• bluewater marina trinity beach, cairns, continued to
provide a marina berth for an offshore rescue boat,
resulting in a saving to slsq of approximately $12,000
per year.
• q1 body corporate surfers paradise continued
to provide storage for our radio communications
equipment.
• v-tol aerospace pty limited continued researching
the use of unmanned air vehicles (uav), in partnership
with slsq, with funding and equipment support
from sibilco mining, flir (forward looking infra-red)
and telstra. v-tol is working towards developing a
deployable rescue device attached to the uav. casa
approval is still pending for this project.

research and development
slsq continually investigates ways to improve and
enhance services through the addition of new equipment.
new equipment used in 2012/13 includes the following:
• drover and honda muv700 big red all terrain vehicle – to
provide a broader cross-section of vehicles for our clubs.
• stand up paddle board – to assist our members and
lifeguards in performing their jobs. this equipment is
currently being trialled in still water.
• investigating new and improved personal flotation
devices (pfds) for members’ safety.
• investigating powered rescue boards and powered
boogie boards.
• preparing to commence hi-visibility colour testing to
ensure our members are wearing appropriate personal
protective equipment (ppe) in the water.
• updating current patrol signage to ensure our gear and
equipment meet standards and club needs.
• developing an unmanned air vehicle (uav) with v-toll
aerospace to provide aerial services to remote locations
in queensland. deployable life buoys are also being
trailed on the aircraft as part of its service.
17
• trialling tracking systems for rescue Water crafts and
operational vehicles to provide up-to-date information
for duty officers and surfcom operators, improving
deployment and operator safety.
coastal risK management
as the peak advisory body on beach safety, slsq continues
to provide coastal public safety risk assessments on beach
management and coastal risk management. the following
risk audits and service level assessments were conducted
to address the number of major incidents and provide
recommendations to local government to minimise risk in
the following areas:
• tallebudgera creek precinct, gold coast
• maroochy river mouth, sunshine coast
• Wild cattle creek, Wide bay capricorn
estuarine crocodile management
slsq lobbied the queensland government to manage
estuarine crocodiles based on the marine stinger model.
as a result, in 2013 the queensland government formed
the north queensland community advisory group
for crocodile management (nqcagcm), with a slsq
representative on the group, complementing the scientific
advisory group established earlier in 2013.
the nqcagcm brings with it the perspective and
concerns of local communities and expertise, as well as a
breadth of knowledge and experience that combined with
the input from the scientific advisory group, will ensure
the queensland government’s policy approach is both
practical and effective.
slsQ conTinues To lead The marine sTinger prevenTion and aWareness
group on behalf of The Queensland governmenT WiTh The aim of
ensuring The safeTy of ocean sWimmers and Waders.
marine stinger management
marine stingers can be hazardous to beachgoers in north
queensland, causing a large number of injuries and on
rare occasions, if not treated early enough, can be fatal.
slsq continues to lead the marine stinger prevention
and awareness group on behalf of the queensland
government with the aim of ensuring the safety of
ocean swimmers and waders. slsq strives to improve
public knowledge about marine stinger identification,
behaviour, preventative steps and the best course of
action if someone is stung through community awareness
programs and targeted educational campaigns.
the marine stinger swimming enclosure protocols were
instigated by slsq with local governments from cairns
regional council along the coast to townsville city
council. the protocols were redesigned to ensure that
marine stinger swimming enclosures are adopted by
local government.
slsq continues to provide James cook university with
specimens for marine envenomation to develop best
practice marine stinger management protocols. slsq
works in consultation with various organisations to further
this goal and develop initiatives with other agencies such
as the sms ‘sting alerts’ from the queensland ambulance
service to improve the recording and response to
stinger incidents.

lifeguard service
australian lifeguard service
a leader in professional lifeguard services the australian
lifeguard service (als) has always been dedicated
to saving lives and is committed to the provision of
a proactive service on the beaches and within the
community. as the lifeguard arm of slsq, we provide
professional lifeguard services to local governments, land
managers and resorts. backed by more than a century of
surf lifesaving experience, the als in queensland is the
largest provider of professional lifeguards in australia.
slsq employs 46 permanent and 210 casual als
lifeguards across six regions, encompassing more than
80 individual services. all staff members work closely with
a widespread network of volunteers from surf lifesaving
clubs and the lifesaving operations division.
a leader in aquatic safety, the als sets an international
benchmark through nationally-accredited training, highlyskilled staff and detailed standard operating practices.
als lifeguards are required to undertake regular fitness
testing and professional development to ensure they
maintain their rescue, first aid, resuscitation and beach
management capabilities.
in 2012/13, the professional development of als
lifeguards was further developed with senior lifeguards
completing advanced first aid, silver medallion aquatic
rescue and certificate iii in public safety courses. als
queensland lifeguards also continued to provide first aid
at the state and australian surf life saving championships
during the year.
the als also continued to expand its presence in
queensland, securing work with the sunshine coast
council, almost doubling the size of the service in this state.
in the Wide bay capricorn region, the als service has
extended into the winter season for the first time with
Kelly’s beach now patrolled on weekends and agnes Water
patrolled seven days per week from may to september.
the outstanding professionalism of als lifeguards is
recognised by slsa through the lifeguard of the year
award. this year’s queensland als lifeguard of the year
and sunshine coast regional lifeguard of the year is Jason
smith from the sunshine coast.
the regional als lifeguards of the year are:
• emma smith, north queensland
• reece tudehope, townsville
• Jack robinson, mackay
• dale leggett, Wide bay capricorn
• brad beauchamp, south east queensland
• Jason smith, sunshine coast
the future focus for als lifeguards is to continue to work,
in cooperation and consultation with slsq’s volunteer
lifesavers, to deliver safer beaches and better services
across the state.

On Queensland's sOuthern cOast, surf
lifesavers cOntend with surf cOnditiOns that
cOuld be mild One day and extreme the next,
clOsing beaches and causing erOsiOn.
slsq comprises five regions stretching from port
douglas in the north to rainbow bay on the nsW border,
encompassing a diverse coastline and surf conditions.
While all surf lifesavers undergo the same training, they
face varying surf conditions on the job. on queensland's
southern coast, surf lifesavers contend with surf conditions
that could be mild one day and extreme the next, closing
beaches and causing erosion. on queensland’s northern
coast, surf lifesavers contend with seasonal cyclones that
cause major damage to the coastline, and are also required
to monitor box jellyfish, irukandji or estuarine crocodiles to
keep beachgoers safe.
north queensland
(port douglas to mission beach)
the completion of our new headquarters near cairns
beaches was a major highlight this year. the state
government provided financial assistance for two rescue
boats to assist with crocodile management and for
emergencies and search and rescue operations.
Job Well done
our lifeguards supervised four major ocean events
including the coral coast triathlon at port douglas and the
usm iron man challenge; provided extensive coverage
over the christmas period for beaches from port douglas
to mission beach; and increased their presence on green
island over the chinese new year.
23
safety message
We conducted surf safety sessions with community
organisations, including beach safety talks with
international students at tafe, a crocodile education
program, beach to bush programs in schools, and
a marine stinger program at freshwater state school.
recognising our expertise in aquatic safety and crocodile
surveillance, the state government invited slsq to join
the north queensland community advisory group for
crocodile management.
north barrier
(forrest beach to sarina)
surf lifesavers from the region’s eight slsc clubs
collectively saved 15 lives, performed 147 first aid
treatments, carried out 3,190 preventive actions and
86 stinger treatments in 2012/13. the als also extended
its service to cover the pallarenda beach stinger enclosure,
maintaining and checking the enclosure on a daily
basis and providing a full-time lifeguard over school
holiday periods.
building Update
With the settlement of a claim against cyclone yasi
finalised, the forrest beach slsc invested about $300,000
in clubhouse improvements. mackay slsc completed its
renovations and ayr slsc renovated its kitchen area.
Worth Celebrating
• founded on magnetic island in 1928, arcadian slsc
this year celebrated 85 years of service to the region
with a gala event at townsville’s Jupiter’s casino.
• bhp billiton cannington committed to a three-year,
$30,000 per year grant to four northern clubs to assist
with the purchase of patrol equipment.
• mackay slsc’s 13-year-old alexander finney won
the prestigious slsq u14 Junior lifesaver of the year
award.
• slsq opened an office in mackay city providing the
southern end of the north barrier branch with a central
location to meet.
engaging ‘little’ lifesavers
school surf league programs were held in both townsville
and mackay, while a little lifesaver program was approved
by the mackay regional council for the first time and will
be held over the september school holidays. townsville
held two programs at riverway, to be transferred to the
strand to increase participation in the future.
Wide bay capricorn
(yeppoon to hervey bay)
the tornados, floods and severe storms of 2012/13
adversely affected townships from rockhampton to
hervey bay, impacting on all of our surf lifesaving
communities. the bundaberg region suffered most, with
floods devastating the city and surrounding areas. our
members and staff banded together to assist their local
community during evacuations and in the recovery effort.
the gladstone region 24-hour emergency response
group was activated a number of times during these
events and our other clubs and services, not directly
impacted, volunteered their time to assist.
on the patrol front, our members performed a large
number of rescues, preventative actions and first aid
treatments throughout the year. no lives were lost on our
patrolled beaches, however, sadly, an international tourist
drowned while swimming at an unpatrolled beach in
bundaberg.
key highlights
• individual surf athletes and teams from the region were
awarded medals in queensland, australian and World
surf life saving championships.
• yeppoon slsc hosted the 2013 laerdal queensland
surf rescue championships and hervey bay slsc
hosted the 2013 queensland Junior surf life saving
championships.
• patrol hours were extended and resources boosted
throughout the year.
• funding from the queensland government allowed the
als to expand its patrols to trial a winter off-season.
new regional headquarters
our regional office moved to new premises in bundaberg
and we appointed a full-time lifesaving services
coordinator to oversee the als. another key regional
initiative was the Wide bay capricorn and sunshine coast
branch youth development camp (camp commando) for
u14 and u15 members, which was well attended.
sunshine coast (rainboW beach to
redcliffe peninsula)
the season was long and challenging, starting with ex
tropical cyclone oswald, then long periods of sustained
high seas leading to large-scale erosion across the
sunshine coast.
sadly, three drownings occurred over the season. our
members will continue to focus on reducing these
incidents.
seasonal highlights
• the up-skilling of sunshine coast council lifeguards to
transition them to slsq prior to summer.
24
• a move back to the Westpac lifesaver helicopter
rescue service hanger at caloundra to recommence
seven day per week operations in the 2013/14
financial year.
• slsq state championships successfully held at
maroochydore and mooloolaba spit.
• the first lifesaving memorial day on 5 may 2013
at alexandra headland slsc.
gold coast
(point looKout to rainboW bay)
the 2012/13 patrol season was an extremely busy one
and, despite our best efforts, there were a number of
drownings outside the flags. prevention remains the key
focus of all patrolling members. the south coast branch’s
12 affiliated clubs performed 33,008 preventative actions,
conducted 689 rescues and administered first aid on 2901
occasions. the 11 affiliated clubs of slsq point danger
branch performed 215 rescues, 10,651 preventative
actions and administered 1,190 first aid treatments.
on the awards front, south coast branch members
gained 5,432 surf lifesaving awards and 1,714 nationally
recognised awards during the 2012/13 season.
sporting prowess
• point danger branch clubs and members were
represented at all surf sports events with the nippers
winning 12 more gold medals at the queensland Junior
championships than last year, and currumbin finishing
12th overall at the nationals.
• the south coast branch proved a major force in surf
sports at both state and national levels, with northcliffe
slsc gaining second place in state src and Junior
championships and first place in open, state and
young guns.
• coolangatta beach hosted the coolangatta gold event
and north Kirra hosted the australian championships.
both events were extremely well attended.

a key education focus during the 2012/13 season was to
initiate an online resource for our premier award — the
certificate ll public safety/bronze medallion. during the
year, we trialled the resource, involving trainers involved in
its continued improvement prior to the state-wide rollout
next season.
further online resources for our key awards will be
implemented in 2013/14, which will streamline some of
the marking and checking requirements of our trainers
and assessors and provide greater flexibility, convenience
and learning outcomes for our members.
during the year, we also implemented an online
proficiency for our inflatable rescue boat (irb) crew
training to provide alignment to a nationally accredited
award: puasar015a crew small powercraft in a rescue
operation. the award gives our members the opportunity
to have this unit recognised if they pursue a certificate lll in
public safety (aquatic rescue).

other activities undertaken to enhance members’
knowledge and skills:
• up-skilling of trainers and assessors to the
contemporary tae10 qualification as required by the
federal government by 1 July 2013 for vocational
education and training. numerous support sessions
were provided across the state to assist members in
acquiring the tae10 qualification.
• regional training support provided professional
development opportunities for volunteers to enable
them to become nationally accredited trainers and
assessors. slsq clubs now have 155 new trainers and
92 new assessors.
• 96 members obtained the nationally accredited beach
management award and the silver medallion basic
beach management required for patrol captains.
• the nationally accredited spinal management award
was delivered throughout our regions. We now have
333 members on our beaches able to deal with spinal
emergencies. We expect this group to grow throughout
the coming season.
• trials of the new nationally accredited rescue
Water craft (rWc) award were undertaken. over the
coming season our lifeguards and operational support
groups will start this award to further enhance their
lifesaving skills.

sport is one of the key foundations of the surf lifesaving
movement. unlike other sports, the underlying purpose
is to improve surf lifesaving skills with the ultimate aim of
keeping our beaches safe. surf carnivals promote a healthy
lifestyle and allow members to transfer some of the core
skills of surf lifesaving to the sporting arena.
in 2012/13, queensland’s turbulent weather disrupted
the summer schedule, with some beaches struggling to
recover. despite the conditions and events being relocated
or cancelled, there was strong participation in slsq’s
premier carnivals.
Key events
Queensland surf life
saving Championships
adverse weather failed
to dim the spirit of
competitors this year, including terrigal’s Jack moyes who
triumphed in the blue ribbon open ironman event, ahead
of shannon eckstein and corey Jones. in the women’s final,
coolangatta gold winner brodie moir (north burleigh)
held off courtney hancock and harriet brown. in a
special tribute, the u15 ironman was dedicated to the late
matthew barclay, with matthew’s dad stephen awarding
the memorial trophy to winner grant harris from Kurrawa.
in the overall stakes, northcliffe won by 22 points, ahead
of mooloolaba and fellow sunshine coast club noosa
heads in third place. in the masters competition,
alexandra headland took the honours ahead of noosa
heads and mooloolaba.
29
Queensland Junior
surf life saving
Championships
hervey bay provided the ideal
setting for the Junior state titles with some of the closest
racing seen in years. more than 1,400 youngsters from port
douglas to rainbow bay contested in the championships,
an annual highlight for all juniors. the fraser coast council
provided great support, upgrading parklands, foreshore
and grading the beach.
laerdal Queensland surf rescue Championships
around 150 of the state’s top surf lifesavers put their skills
to the test at the 2013 laerdal surf rescue championships
at yeppoon beach in february 2013. alexandra headland
prevailed by a mere three points to win overall honours
from northcliffe and maroochydore. strong performances
across the two days saw alexandra headland’s michael
White and tweed heads and coolangatta’s mariah
Jones take out the coveted open male and open female
champion lifesaver events. northcliffe extended its
unbeaten run in the open patrol competition to 14 years.
Queensland board riding Championships
due to poor weather, the queensland board riding
championships was postponed until the first weekend
of may, resulting in a drop in entries — 100 athletes
compared to 180 entries before it was rescheduled. the
fourth annual queensland championships saw competitors
from u11 to masters showcase their skills on both long and
short boards. alexandra headland claimed overall honours
ahead of coolum and currumbin.
Queensland state endurance Championships
more than 400 athletes from across queensland
converged on tweed heads and coolangatta to pit their
skills on 20 october 2012. events were held from u11
to masters across a range of long distance disciplines,
including ocean swimming, board paddling, surf ski
paddling and beach running. northcliffe took overall
honours ahead of maroochydore and noosa heads.
inflatable rescue boat (irb) Competition
high-octane irb racing proved popular with competitors
and spectators alike as queensland clubs hit the surf and
raced for gold at state and national levels. designed to
simulate rescue scenarios, the sport transfers lifesaving
skills of drivers and crew to a competitive setting.
Queensland state irb Championships
more than 300 competitors attended the queensland irb
championships on the gold coast from 29-30 June 2013.
north burleigh claimed the championship trophy with 79
points, ahead of Kurrawa on 59 points and dicky beach on
58 points.
ocean roar irb premiership series
the five-round ocean roar irb premiership series gave
irb teams the chance to race in challenging conditions
following extreme weather events that impacted
queensland beaches. about 180 competitors competed in
the first two rounds, while the final three rounds had more
than 220 competitors each. north burleigh won the series
on 278 points, followed by Kurrawa on 229 and Kawana
Waters on 194.
sports development
slsq is committed to providing ongoing training and
development to all of its members involved in surf
lifesaving sports, from recreational to elite levels. our
programs are delivered across a range of disciplines and
are tailored to meet the needs of all athletes regardless
of age, ability and location. the quality of slsq’s sports
development programs are reflected in the ongoing
success of our athletes at a national and international level.
in 2012/13, slsq continued to demonstrate its
commitment to sport in queensland and worked
with branches and clubs to deliver a range of training
opportunities, including coaching and officials’
accreditation courses, athlete development and high
performance clinics. feedback from these programs has
been positive.
developing Champion athletes
more than 100 participants attended athlete development
clinics throughout queensland between July and
october 2012. these clinics included the Wide bay
capricorn athlete development clinic, north australian
championships pool rescue clinic, 2012 high
performance clinic, the north queensland pool rescue
clinic, and a high performance clinic held on the sunshine
coast after the interbranch championships for u15 and
u17 members, run by the 2012 queensland cyclones
coaching staff.
Queensland Cyclones teams
historically, slsq has produced some of the best athletes,
not only in queensland and australia, but internationally.
on 21-22 January, the 2013 interstate championships
were held in newport, new south Wales, with some of the
biggest names in lifesaving contesting a range of events.
queensland’s 38-strong team finished a close second to
new south Wales in overall points. refer to page 37 to view
our cyclones team members.
slsQ is commiTTed To providing
ongoing Training and developmenT
To all of iTs members involved
in surf lifesaving sporTs, from
recreaTional To eliTe levels.
developing Champion officials
a total of 202 participants attended 16 level 1 courses
across queensland during the year. five courses were
held in north barrier branch, four in Wide bay capricorn
branch, one in north queensland branch and two in the
sunshine coast branch, point danger branch and south
coast branch.
developing Champion Coaches
coaches are vital to maintaining athletes’ involvement
in sport and the wider lifesaving movement. six level
1 coaching courses were delivered to a total of 111
participants across north queensland, north barrier,
sunshine coast, Wide bay capricorn, south coast and
point danger branches during the year. slsq also ran a

regional sport
slsq continues to deliver on its commitment to develop
regional sport and increase participation from all corners
of queensland. to that end, we facilitated high-level
competition in 2012/13 with the north australian
championships, and the return of slsq’s interbranch
championships, a key opportunity for queensland
country team members to pit their skills against southern
competitors.
other highlights included the queensland country Junior
(u13-u17) representative team finishing second overall in
the queensland interbranch championships – its highest
placing in history, and the largest number of queensland
country competitors being selected in the queensland
cyclones team.
a group of the state’s top regional athletes, from u15
to u19, and one coach were also drafted into the
northern territory state team to compete at the 2013
slsa interstate championships.
regional sports advisory panel
the regional sports advisory panel continues to operate
with a charter to develop sporting opportunities and
development pathways within regional queensland and
ensure that regional members are exposed to quality
sports events.
north australian Championships
mackay hosted nearly 650 athletes and their supporters
from 26-28 october 2012 at the north australian
championships. the most prestigious competition for
northern members, the annual championships involved
competitors from u11 to masters contesting the full suite
of sporting disciplines. cairns triumphed in the overall
point score after the three days of competition, followed by
ellis beach and townsville/picnic bay.
interbranch Championships
the interbranch championships were re-introduced
during 2008/09, providing young athletes aged u13 to
u17 with an opportunity to represent their region. the
championships also provide queensland country —
a team of up to 48 youngsters selected following the north
australian championships — with an opportunity to take
on their southern rivals from the sunshine coast, south
coast and point danger branches. this year, the sunshine
coast branch prevailed, ahead of queensland country,
south coast and point danger.
surf boat Competition
surf boat competition and development is progressing
well in queensland country, evident by the selection of the
tannum sands slsc u23 Womens and u19 mens surf boat
crews in the queensland representative team. the north
queensland navy series for surf boats also continued this
season, with healthy crew numbers.
pool rescue Competition and development
participation continues to grow in pool rescue
competition, with clubs and branches embracing this
exciting discipline and its development potential. during
the year, clinics were conducted across various regional
queensland centres and were well attended.
the north australian championships included pool
rescue, with events conducted across age groups from
u11 to masters, attracting approximately 350 competitors.
the queensland country high performance pool rescue
squad expanded to include 32 athletes, two senior
coaches and one team manager. importantly, these
pool rescue competitions and the subsequent high
performance squad have become pathways and continue
to deliver strong results. this is reflected in the number
of athletes and coaches from the hp squad selected for
higher representative honours. results from the 2012/13
australian pool rescue championships were exceptional,
with the squad claiming five gold medals, eight silver
medals, 12 bronze medals and five australian records.

During the year, we striveD to achieve greater profit margins anD
expanD our training capabilities into north QueenslanD.
a registered training organisation (rto), the first aid
training academy queensland brings more than a century
of lifesaving expertise from the beach into the home,
school or workplace. offering a wide range of emergency
care and aquatic rescue training courses, the academy
provides tailored, flexible, quality community-focused
training solutions aimed at making queensland
a safer state.
during 2012/13, the academy educated 5,637 people in
nationally recognised awards with programs incorporating
cpr, advanced resuscitation, senior first aid and basic
life support. community programs were also conducted
through slsq’s rto status.
all trainers and assessors were upgraded to the required
cert iv tae skill set, a requirement of the australian quality
training framework, to deliver training and assessment
services in the vocational education and training sector.
profits from our courses are re-invested in the community
through our 31,000 volunteer members and 59 affiliated
slscs throughout queensland.
commitment to groWth and
eXpansion
during the year, we strived to achieve greater profit
margins and expand our training capabilities into north
queensland.
our future focus is to cement our position as a leader in our
field and expand. We aim to do this through our dedication
to the ongoing development of practical training strategies
and online learning resources and a strong focus on
ensuring the customer experience is effortless and fully
automated.
building stronger partnerships
Westpac banking corporation and the first aid training
academy queensland have formed a strong alliance
to offer the highest quality first aid training courses
and corporate healthcare solutions throughout several
queensland locations. our integrated approach delivers
a wide range of healthcare options to large and small
corporate and community groups through four key service
offerings:
• emergency care training
• first aid Kit supply & restocking
• emergency care equipment supply & annual audit
• community awareness programs.
connected to the community
Water-based activities are some of the fastest growing in
australia. approximately 90% of our population live on our
nation’s coastal fringes and research suggests more than
six million of us participate in some form of water activity.
tragically, close to 100 lives are cut short by drowning
incidents each year.
slsq recognises the necessary and vital need for increased
education to reduce the loss of life and serious injury in
queensland's aquatic environment. community education
is an important part of aquatic safety. the first aid training
academy queensland provides a number of courses and
programs that promote surf safety, along with community
courses in first aid and resuscitation.

membership development ensures the sustainability of
the organisation. the returns our members accrue from
involvement in surf lifesaving and what slsq receives in
return is priceless, however it is difficult to put a dollar
value on the exchange.

nippERs
slsq is often reminded of the important role that surf
lifesaving plays in many people’s lives when talking
to members. the membership development team is
fortunate to observe the positive effect that surf lifesaving
has on individuals through:
• creating a sense of personal belonging and pride —
we are a family.
• ongoing development of citizenship values, allowing
our people to give back to the community (whether it is
saving a life at work or helping a drowning tourist while
on holidays overseas).
• creating connections with other community
organisations by assisting with natural disasters or
providing activities for the disabled.
• creating meaningful networks – sharing ideas and
helping each other when needed.
• the development of human capital through surf
lifesaving training, team, and leadership skills.
With such a diverse membership footprint slsq provides
opportunities for almost every demographic in society.
from nippers to elderly lifesaving statesmen and women,
from new members to those born into the organisation,
our people dedicate their time to a range of activities that
combine to make our organisation what it is today. We are
thankful for any and all involvement from our members.
41
the need to recruit and retain members who are aligned
with our values is paramount to the ongoing capability of
slsq and remains a key strategic focus.
slsq is committed to developing and implementing
appropriate recruitment and retention practices that align
with our values and maintain an effective lifesaving service.
We are further committed to supporting the development
of our people’s skills and knowledge that will help deliver
our vision.
slsq experienced a major change this season with the
transfer of membership data from surfmate to surfguard.
therefore, the 2012/13 season was a foundation year to
compare like data in future. Where possible our reporting
will mimic what was used in surfmate to allow some
comparison, however, may not be completely accurate at
this point.
it was pleasing to see active patrolling members increased
by 4% since last season. the proportion of youth aged 1525 within these categories is over 45%.
unfortunately, overall membership declined by 5% (1,738
members) during the 2012/13 season, with the majority
of this decline reflecting a 9% loss of junior activities
members and 8% decrease in the corresponding associate
membership categories.
slsq’s membership development team works in
consultation with a variety of stakeholders including surf
lifesaving clubs and committees, operational divisions
and regional staff to ensure we continue to monitor and
address the diverse needs of the membership base and
ensure they are keeping up with current societal trends.
surf club open day
the fourth surf club open day was held on 26 august
2012. the event was designed to help clubs increase
participation, sign on new members and increase local
community awareness of club life, while maximising
promotional opportunities. thirty-seven clubs opened
their doors to the public, along with surf life saving new
south Wales clubs, which helped boost media exposure.
channel nine’s today show broadcast live weather crosses
from the north burleigh slsc open day.
recognition aWards
as part of remaining connected to our people, slsq
facilitates a recognition and reward system that
acknowledges the exceptional service and dedication of
members throughout the state. We continually update
our awards system and released version two of the slsq
recognition manual for use this season. as the 2012/13
awards of excellence will not be awarded until august 2013,
the list of recipients is not included in this annual report.
member protection and Welfare
the activities our members undertake may expose them to
potentially traumatic events. as such, we are committed to
actively protecting and promoting the rights and interests
of our people, particularly those under 18 years. this
protection is extended to all, regardless of race, gender,
ability, age and/or position within the organisation.
this season slsq continued to monitor the
implementation of the child youth risk management
strategy within clubs and branches to ensure compliance
with the commission for children and young people and
child guardian act 2000.
the peer support service was also transferred into the
membership development portfolio this season. a peer
support officer debrief was conducted for those who
were involved in supporting members and their families
post 2012 aussies. another 20 peer support officers
were trained at the end of the season and now form an
integral team of carers who can provide psychological
first aid across the state. the contributions of the peer
support officers this season were outstanding and across
a variety of incidents both on and off the beach, including
assistance during the bundaberg floods.
Junior activities
Junior members continue to be the largest membership
category within the state (32%) and slsq remains
committed to providing safe, quality, age-appropriate and
fun activities to further their development.
slsq is committed to the ongoing improvement of youth
programs as younger members represent the future of
the organisation. there is also significant potential growth
within the associate membership category, aligned with
Junior activities and internal recruitment will be a driving
force in seasons to come.
the state Junior activities advisory panel is instrumental
in advising and preparing recommendations for the state
membership services committee regarding the conduct
and development of junior activities across the state and
continues to be a valuable way of addressing the largest
membership demographic.
following the success of the Junior activities forum series,
the Junior activities advisory panel and membership
development department continued to deliver branchspecific forums. these aimed to provide an informative
induction and networking opportunity for all club Junior
activities chairs, and/or vice chairs and team/age
managers.
42
the Junior activities advisory panel also worked on the
improvement of a number of junior activities policies and
procedures as required throughout the season.
youth development
our youth are leaders in their own right, which is
becoming more evident through the growth and
advancement of our young leaders in slsq development
programs. aimed at enhancing and retaining the
important youth demographic, these programs extend to
national initiatives, forming an integral component of the
member development pathway.
Youth involvement program
the youth involvement program (yip) plays a key role in
engaging and retaining 13 to 25 year olds by providing a
points-based reward system. during the year, this program
was extended and offered to clubs nationally to provide a
structured transition into the senior club by introducing
youth to all facets of club operations.
branch Youth development programs
branch youth development programs were successfully
conducted during the year by point danger, south coast,
sunshine coast, Wide bay capricorn and north barrier
branches. these programs provided participants with the
skills to assist their progression into club leadership roles.
Camp troppo
34 north barrier branch young lifesavers travelled to
lake proserpine for a four-day camp in tropical north
queensland that covered north barrier-specific surf
lifesaving sessions as well as a Whitsunday islands
reef trip and visit to Whitehaven beach.
navy Camp U17-U19
14 Wide bay capricorn and four sunshine coast members
took part in a royal australian navy leadership program
conducted at bulimba barracks, brisbane from 26-29
september 2012.
Youth Excellence Program
(15-17 years)
“I learnt that for a team
to function at its best, it
is OK to have conflicting
ideas as long as the group
is able to process them
and to decide on the best
idea together. The most
important thing I took
away from this camp
about myself is that if
I put my mind to it, I can
work really well in a team
environment and as a
leader.”
– Mackenzie Geeves,

surf soldiers U14-U15 branch Youth
development Camp
surf lifesavers from south coast and point danger
branches travelled to emu gully adventure education
group in august 2012. anZac activities challenged the

gold Coast branch Youth ball
recognising and rewarding member contributions to
youth development, the third annual ball was held on 6
april 2013 with 180 people attending.
sunshine Coast branch Youth ball
bringing together 187 youth members, chaperones and
special guests to celebrate member achievements during
the 2012/13 season, the second annual ball was held
on 27 July 2013 at mooloolaba surf club.
north barrier branch Youth Committee
this new initiative serves to give young members
(14-17 years) a greater voice within the region. aiming
to mirror the north barrier branch executive, the branch
youth committee’s first task was to re-invigorate the north
barrier branch annual dinner and awards presentation.
this also resulted in the creation of north barrier’s
first youth ball, to be held in conjunction with
the awards night.
state Youth excellence program
part of the development pathway for members aged 15 to
17 years old, the state youth excellence program enhances
the youth experience and develops skills in a range of surf
lifesaving activities. the 2013 program, held on 25-27
January 2013, saw 93 members from across queensland
gather at burleigh heads for an ‘australia day’ themed
program. 75 participants, 12 leaders and six mentors
enjoyed the weekend against the odds with extreme
weather in the south east.
state leadership excellence program
32 slsq future leaders took part in the state leadership
excellence program on 13-15 april 2013 in brisbane.
targeting 18 to 25 year olds, the program put the group
through their paces in networking, conflict resolution,
media training, and teamwork in an ‘amazing race’ around
brisbane. participants and leaders left the program with
new insights into approaching various situations, aiding
their progression through the organisation.
sir adrian Curlewis scholarship
established in 1986 as the pinnacle of the leadership
development pathway, slsq has recommended a scholar
each season to represent the late sir adrian curlewis,
slsa’s first president. unfortunately this season the
scholarship was under review and was not awarded. slsq
looks forward to its re-introduction.

slsq’s community awareness programs aim to change
behaviours and potentially save lives through education
and increased understanding of our key beach safety
messages. this frontline approach to safety allows the
public to make potentially life saving informed decisions
before stepping onto the beach.
programs are designed to help spread the message of
swimming between the red and yellow flags to target
audiences, highlighting potential dangers, and the
consequences of uninformed access to our beaches.
during the 2012/13 season, our community awareness
efforts educated more than 300,000 people about beach
and aquatic safety.
targeted community awareness programs aim to improve
outcomes for our front line members and increase the
impact of our key messages by engaging the public.
an additional benefit of community awareness activities
is the increased engagement of our youth members and
leaders. many of our community awareness presenters and
program facilitators are young surf lifesavers and future
leaders from across queensland. by building their skills
and providing a career and development pathway, the
community awareness programs assist in engaging and
developing our young members.
47
participation at public community events and expanding
our reach into the corporate sector through workplace
health and safety program visits has led to increased
recognition of our organisation’s core vision in the
wider community. We have also increased recognition
of the importance of community awareness through
the implementation of the slsq community awareness
program of the year award, with the winner representing
queensland at the slsa national awards.
many of our community awareness programs have also
contributed to growing member numbers at clubs, the bls
and junior activities programs.
While slsq’s public awareness initiatives are designed to
educate all members of the community, specific programs
target these high-risk groups:
• men aged 18-25 years
• rural populations
• international tourists
• domestic tourists
• people from culturally and linguistically diverse
backgrounds
• schools and communities
community safety and aWareness
initiatives
slsq continues to actively engage with key industry,
tourism and community groups to help support and
deliver vital surf and beach safety messages to local
and regional communities and domestic and
international tourists.
our national airline partner, virgin australia, supports surf
lifesaving by delivering in-flight beach safety messages to
travellers visiting key tourist destinations across australia.
our national ‘if we can’t see you, we can’t save you’
beach safety campaign, delivered daily on virgin australia
flights to all destinations, encourages passengers to swim
between the red and yellow flags at all times.
slsq is also supported by key queensland destination
airports, including the gold coast airport and brisbane
airport corporation, allowing further reinforcement of
our key safety messages as domestic and international
passengers disembark from their flights.
state-Wide education programs
beach to bush
for more than 15 years, the
beach to bush program has
successfully delivered the
‘always swim between the red and yellow flags’ message
to children in regional queensland. since being adopted
by all states and territories in 2003, it has grown to become
arguably the largest surf education program in australia.
the program educates children on the potential dangers
of surf, rips and dangerous marine creatures and equips
them with strategies to manage their own safety, including
how to raise the alarm if they find themselves in trouble.
youngsters are also encouraged to become Water safety
ambassadors in their home and community.
held in october 2012, the beach to bush program reached
more than 9,000 students from over 65 schools in areas
such as stanthorpe, Warwick, dalby and the Western
downs, Kingaroy, murgon, emerald, maryborough, clarke
creek, collinsville, charters towers and dimbulah.
slsq acknowledges the support of the south bank
corporation and brisbane city council, redland city
council, cairns regional council and townsville city
council in allowing access to safe locations to deliver
this program.
historically, beachgoers who live more than 50km away
from surf are over-represented in the nation’s drowning
figures. by engaging with rural and remote communities,
largely through the beach to bush program, this trend has
declined in recent years.
Queensland health beach safe program
thanks to the support of queensland health, surf life
saving queensland continued to deliver our popular
beach safe schools program throughout queensland
schools in 2012–13. the program was developed to
educate primary aged students about surf and water
safety, marine stingers and other dangerous marine
creatures and the importance of sun protection.
it also aims to provide them with strategies to manage
their own risk and other potentially lifesaving skills.
little lifesavers
almost 600 children in
queensland schools
received a fun and engaging introduction to beach safety
and surf lifesaving through the little lifesavers program in
2012/13.
established in 1993, little lifesavers allows children aged
5-11 years to develop basic water and surf safety skills in
a controlled and safe environment. the program’s strong
educational element provides a solid understanding of surf
awareness and safety messages. positive feedback and
support from parents has been overwhelming.
one little lifesaver from cairns, aged 9, has already put
his new lifesaving skills to the test when he towed his
little brother to safety after he injured himself in a water
environment.
due to growing demand, an increased number of
sessions were held at locations including brisbane’s south
bank, raby bay foreshore, townsville and the cairns
esplanade lagoon.
the little lifesavers program has developed into one
of slsq’s most popular and successful water safety
initiatives. in 2013/14, little lifesavers is planned to be
extended in additional regional locations within mackay,
bundaberg and the gold coast.
48
queensland health’s ongoing funding of the program
has allowed surf life saving queensland to provide
additional trained presenters and facilitators to run
educational sessions ensuring queensland children are
receiving the most up to date information available in an
engaging and professional presentation. each participant
also received an educational workbook for participants to
reinforce their learning.
the beach safe program reached more than 24,000
students in the classroom and through practical-based
school education programs across the state.
surf life saving queensland would like to thank
queensland health for their generous support of this vital
beach safety program which touches the lives of so many
young queensland children.
gold Coast beach safe program
as one of australia’s most popular tourist destinations,
the gold coast attracts thousands of visitors each week
from around the country and the world. With this in mind,
the gold coast beach safe program has developed into a
vital safety initiative, focused on a welcoming service that
targets tourists at the gold coast airport.
With research demonstrating that groups from
multicultural backgrounds and tourists are most at risk
of drowning on the gold coast, the program has been
designed to reach these targeted groups before they set
foot on the beach.
this vital community program provides access to
practical beach education classes from our trained surf
lifesavers and ensures school children from diverse
backgrounds receive important water safety information
in their first language.
surf lifesavers are on hand at the gold coast airport
to emphasise the importance of beach safety, with
information provided free to visitors from targeted flights,
five days a week. during the 2012/13 season, almost
180,000 visitors received this vital safety information.
during the year, the program reached more than
16,000 participants through 211 presentations and
attended more than 10 multicultural festivals with a
combined attendance of approximately 44,000 people.
vital beach safety information was also distributed to
hotels, international travel agents and selected tourist
information centres throughout the south east.
this year’s program included a series of pop up ‘surf fun
clinics’ at popular tourist beach locations including main
beach, surfers paradise, tallebudgera creek and north
burleigh. the clinics featured surf-related activities, games
and beach safety information, with more than 500 children
taking part.

on the same Wave
in 2012/13, the department of aboriginal and torres strait
islander and multicultural affairs maintained vital funding
to slsq to continue implementation of the award winning
on the same Wave water and surf safety initiative.
on the same Wave targets queenslanders from culturally
and linguistically diverse backgrounds (cald), as well as
international visitors. in doing so, it provides educational
workshops and information sessions for migrants and
refugees. these cald community groups from (but
not limited to) the middle east – iran and afghanistan,
asia – sri lanka, vietnam, china, Japan and thailand as
well as african countries like sudan, congo, nigeria and
somalia directly benefit from the program. Key beach and
water safety messages are also provided at multicultural
community events via translated information on water
safety in 29 different languages.

largest annual fundraising initiative and from 19 november
to 2 december 2012 raised more than $500,000 to help
purchase vital surf rescue equipment and train volunteer

slsq developed the beach safe schools booklet distributed
to schools during beach safe school visits.

diverse backgrounds are over-represented in national
and state drowning figures and, as such, are considered a
high-risk group by surf authorities. the ‘on the same Wave’

52
culturally diverse and non-english speaking backgrounds
and international visitors, provides surf and water safety
education and information in a person’s first language.

fundraising events
Channel nine surf safe appeal (Queensland)
this year marked the ninth surf safe appeal, the largest
annual fundraising initiative for slsq, and raised more than
$500,000 for clubs.
boardies day
brightly coloured boardies were the ultimate fashion
statement across queensland on 22 february 2013 in
celebration of national boardies day.
supported by channel nine, the appeal ran from 19
november — 2 december 2012 and urged queenslanders
to show their appreciation for the efforts of volunteer
lifesavers ahead of the summer season.
founded in 2002, the initiative encourages queenslanders
to help raise much-needed funds for beach safety by
ditching the suit and tie at work and dressing down in
support of surf life saving.
the program provides surf life saving members and clubs
with a fun and interactive fundraising event to promote
within their local community which directly brings a
financial return back to their club.
grill’d restaurants supported the campaign, donating
more than $9,000 to local clubs and slsq through their
local matters initiative. more than 160 queensland
schools, retailers and workplaces took part this year,
contributing more than $31,000 towards local slscs.
Up the tower
brisbane’s queen street mall was
transformed into an urban beach for 22
towersitters as part of our up the tower
fundraiser on 21 september 2012.
perched in a rescue tower and armed
with mobile phones, each of our corporate
supporters had 30 minutes to raise a minimum of $1,000
from family, friends, suppliers and clients. more than
$51,000 was raised for essential volunteer services
in queensland.
a number of towersitters returned from previous years,
however, there were also a few novices such as Watts
next, pricewaterhousecoopers, bmag, microhire and
best signs. st george queensland reds players ben lucas
and adam Wallace-harrison also took on the tower for
the first time.
liz pidgeon of cornerstone properties, a prolific
towersitter, was unable to attend on the day, yet still raised
more than $8,000. last year’s enthusiastic ‘towersitter’
bob muller of leo muller chrysler Jeep dodge sent two
staff members who raised more than $10,300.
a special thank you to long-time surf lifesaving supporter
Westpac, who once again took an entire tower for the
day and raised an impressive $12,237. thanks also to
mc michelle anderson of triple m and fashion parade
sponsor myer.
since 2000, up the tower supporters have collectively
raised more than $720,000 for surf life saving services
in queensland.
55
the surf safe appeal was officially launched on 16
november 2012 with queensland premier campbell
newman pledging $50,000 to slsq. this was followed by a
series of on-air announcements of major donations of cash
and equipment totalling more than $210,000.
thousands of volunteer lifesavers from 59 surf lifesaving
clubs throughout queensland participated in the annual
doorknock and street appeal.
every year, our volunteer surf lifesavers perform a vital
service for the local community, giving up countless
hours of their own time to watch over swimmers and
ensure residents and tourists alike can enjoy our beautiful
beaches safely. the funds raised during the surf safe
appeal assist our queensland clubs to continue this service
to the community.
We are grateful for the support of channel nine and the
queensland government, as well as our corporate partners

Jupiters summer surf girl
arcadian slsc’s tori demopoulos was named 2013
Jupiters summer surf girl from a field of 20 qualified
female surf lifesavers representing clubs from cairns to
rainbow bay.
after nine months of hard work raising funds and
spreading the beach safety message, the contestants
came together for the final judging week, hosted
by event sponsors Jupiters hotel & casino from
8-12 may 2013.
the 20 entrants had embarked on an exhaustive
fundraising campaign within their local communities,
raising a staggering $1,004,363.67 for their respective
clubs, breaking the $1 million mark for the second time
in the 49 year history of the program.
in addition to their outstanding fundraising efforts
throughout the year, the final judging week saw the
entrants assessed on their core surf lifesaving skills,
including cpr, a board and tube rescue, interviews with
the judges and presentation of a beach safety education
and awareness session at the local surfers paradise
primary school.

the gold coast social calendar
and this year raised more than
$15,000 for surf lifesaving
services in queensland.
almost 600 guests attended the charity ball at royal pines
resort on 20 april 2013 and enjoyed entertainment from

throughout this time more than $1.4 million dollars has
been raised for local charities.
thanks to bruce lynton automotive and, in particular,
beric lynton and his team for their ongoing support of
slsq. thanks also go to Wallace bishop, australia Zoo,
Jupiters hotel & casino, endota spa, brisbane lions and
riverlife for their donations to the charity auction.
community donor support
2012/13 was another challenging year for queenslanders.
While many were still rebuilding from the 2011 floods,
mother nature again unleashed her wilder side with
floodwaters affecting some areas and inundating others.
consumer confidence decreased with the weakening
of the australian economy and a new queensland
government was elected, all of which created further
concerns around job certainty— and of course affected
people’s ability to give.
even with the additional strain on families over the past
year, our queensland supporters continued to give and we
certainly appreciated it. a number of our regular appeals
were down on previous years, however in general our loyal
donors remained the same.
regular giving continues to be the preferred option for our
donors with steady growth recorded through the signing
up of monthly donors through face-to-face fundraising.
in the past year, 32 queensland leading donors donated a
gift of $1,000 or greater.
no matter how big or small the contribution, our
guardians are helping to fund vital programs and services
and allow us to plan ahead and invest in our volunteer
surf lifesavers so they can continue their vital community
service now, and in the years to come.
thank you to all queensland supporters who could assist
— please never doubt your support really does make a
difference.
guardians of the surf
Guardians (Monthly)
While we classify all donors as guardians of the surf,
special mention must be made of those individuals who
make monthly donations through our guardians of the
surf program.
We are delighted that this program continues to grow
with our ‘monthly guardians of the surf’ now numbering
10,153 in queensland, an increase of approximately 17%
on last year.
these programs are an essential part of the funding the
foundation provides to slsq to offset costs associated
with providing integrated rescue services to queensland
clubs.
While the community expects flags on the beach, the
service provided by slsq is so much more. Jet boats and
rescue water craft patrolling in the water, helicopters
watching from the air and an extensive communications
network (surfcom) covering the coastline ensure that our
volunteers, and the wider community, are kept safe.
in these challenging times, we sincerely thank the
community for their strong and loyal support.
Workplace giving
Workplace giving was introduced to surf life saving as a
sustainable fundraising program just over two years ago.
the concept is simple – employees can donate regularly to
their favourite charity through their payroll system.
since commencing, the program has grown steadily to
have 28 companies supporting sls nationally, of which
50% match their employee’s gifts dollar for dollar.
there are some exceptional examples of successful
Workplace giving programs throughout australia that
raise valuable funds for charities and encourage staff to get
involved in their community investment programs, such
as ahl group’s ‘stretch’ program. in early 2013, surf life
saving was invited to speak to staff at ahl locations across
australia and talk about the impact regular giving has on
surf life saving. in queensland, lifesavers presented to
staff at rydges hotel, south bank, which in turn increased
the hotel’s Workplace giving participation and support of
surf life saving.
57
Workplace giving has the potential to be a big part of
corporate giving plans in the coming years. our dedicated
program manager will continue to promote the value of
selecting surf life saving as one of the beneficiaries of
company and individual support.
surf life saving is seldom questioned as worthy of support
but is rarely viewed as needy as other large charities.
this further highlights the real benefits of a personal
introduction.
to find out more about how you or the company you work
for could get involved in our Workplace giving program
please contact surf life saving’s Workplace giving
manager on 1800 642 925.
bequests
a bequest to surf life saving is an investment in the future,
ensuring our beaches are kept safe for generations to
come. a gift in your Will to slsq will benefit thousands of
individuals who use our beaches in the future.
bequests can be made for general use to surf life saving
or to fund a specific slsc, program or piece of equipment.
you may also wish to have it secured in the surf rescue
trust whereby the amount of the gift is kept in perpetuity
and only the investment return is utilised, which means
your gift will live forever.
currently 195 queenslanders have advised they are
intending on leaving a gift in their Will to surf life saving.
for more information about bequests, or to let us know
you have left a gift for sls in your Will, please contact the
supporter relations manager on 07 3177 5831 or email

surf life saving lotteries
the surf life saving’s lotteries program is an integral part
of the surf life saving foundation’s fundraising activities
and experienced strong growth this past year, generating
revenue in excess of $1 million.
QgC sustainable Communities Fund
during the year, qgc donated $34,933 to develop and
build the capacity of the tannum sands surf life saving
club following an increase in water incidents in the area.
during the year, a new structure of six prize homes and
six champions’ club lotteries (our regular supporters
program) was successfully implemented, along with an
increase in the value of our prize homes, taking the total
value of prizes to more than $7 million. a highlight was
the introduction of our first $1.3 million beachside luxury
apartment.
the tannum sands community has grown by 19% in the
past five years, with many new residents lacking aquatic
safety skills or experience in surf conditions. also in
the past five years, tannum sands slsc lifesavers have
rescued 16 people who have been swept out via strong
rip currents. for such a small population, this number is
too high and provides further evidence of the need for our
services.
sales from all channels grew steadily, with major growth
shown in the online digital space. further strategies
and developments are being implemented in all areas,
along with the introduction of new lotteries, to generate
additional revenues in the future.
funding awarded from qgc’s sustainable communities
fund led to the redevelopment of clubhouse facilities,
increasing the club’s capacity to expand its education
and training programs and provide the community with a
central hub to meet and interact.
these vital dollars have also meant the club can dedicate
more volunteers to delivering community education
initiatives and ensure its members are trained at all times.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
In conducting our audit we have met the independence requirements of the Australian professional
accounting bodies. In addition to our audit of the financial report, we were engaged to undertake nonaudit services disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The provision of these services has not
impaired our independence.
Independence
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the Association’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Association’s internal controls.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that
we comply with relevant ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion is
expressed as to whether the accounting policies used are appropriate to the needs of the members.
Auditor’s Responsibility
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
report and have determined that the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements,
which form part of the financial report, are appropriate to meet the financial reporting requirements of
the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 [QLD] and the Association’s constitution and are appropriate to
meet the needs of the members. This responsibility includes such internal controls as the directors
determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying special purpose financial report of Surf Life Saving Queensland, (the
Association), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 May 2013, and the statement
of comprehensive income, statement of changes in association’s funds and statement of cash flows for the
year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the
director’s declaration.

Ernst & Young
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report which describes the
basis of accounting. The financial report is prepared to assist Surf Life Saving Queensland to meet the
requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 [QLD] and the Association’s constitution. As a
result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended solely for Surf
Life Saving Queensland and the Department of Community Safety in Queensland and should not be
distributed to parties other than Surf Life Saving Queensland or the Department of Community Safety in
Queensland.
Basis of Accounting and Restriction on Distribution
In our opinion the financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Surf Life
Saving Queensland as of 31 May 2013 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
