Surf Life Saving Tasmania

Surf Life Saving Tasmania http://www.slst.asn.au Our movement is a part of the history, fabric and future of this country. It protects life, it saves life, it promotes life.

Surf Life Saving in Tasmania is a volunteer based not-for-profit community service association and is the key agency for beach safety in Tasmania. Surf Life Saving Tas provides an essential educational and emergency rescue service to all users of Tasmanian beaches and plays a fundamental role in building healthy communities. Through a new exciting merger, SLST supports the Tasmanian Police with in

land, inshore and offshore search and rescue services state wide. It represents the lifestyle, values and beliefs of the Australian culture. We create a safe environment in and around our beaches, through patrols on, in and above the shore and through education and training programs. Surf Life Saving is the largest volunteer movement of its kind in Australia. We are a not-for-profit movement that exists only through community donations, fundraising and corporate sponsorship. Our activities address many community and Government policies such as safer communities, obesity, physical activity, youth development, training and education, and family. Surf Life Saving Tasmania comprises a State centre, 22 Surf Life Saving clubs and services located around the coastline and over 3,000 members who are all committed to saving lives and positively impacting on their local communities. Surf Life Saving Tasmania is afflilated with Surf Life Saving Australia and the International Lifesaving Federation

Tasmania recorded 10 drowning deaths in the past year which is a 25% increase on the state's 10-year average.

The newly released National Drowning Report shows Tasmanians aged 75+ accounted for nearly a third of all drowning deaths in the state, with ocean and harbour locations the leading site of incidents, followed by beaches and rivers. 🛟

Behind every number is a Tasmanian family who has lost a loved one. Water safety isn't just about kids and young swimmers, it's important that every generation knows how to keep safe in and around water.

Ahead of the summer season, we're encouraging everyone to swim at patrolled locations, know your ability, and look out for each other on the water. 💙

Surf lifesaving is built on looking out for one another, both on patrol and off it. 💛

This R U OK? Day, take a moment to check in with a fellow lifesaver, a mate at the club, or someone in your community. It doesn't take much: just a genuine question and the time to listen.

A conversation could change a life. Ask R U OK? Any day. 💬
