MEMBERSHIP

Active Senior Members are over the age of 18 years who hold the minimum requirement of the Bronze Medallion. Active Members duties range from Patrols on the beach, water safety for community events and much more. Members in this category can progress to more advanced levels of Awards.

Prospective Active Senior Members must complete their Surf Lifesaving Bronze Medallion. The Club only approves new Active Senior Membership applications once the Member has confirmed their availability and have signed up to the next available Bronze Medallion Course.
