Membership
Member Registration and Renewals
Welcome to Our Club. Joining a surf life saving club can be a life changing experience, as you learn new skills, make new friendships, and challenge yourself.
Depending on your age and skills, becoming a member of our club opens the gateway to your becoming a nipper or a cadet, a patrolling club member, or someone who assists our service as a volunteer.
New members are always welcome. The membership year generally runs from October to March and registration must be completed before any surf life saving activities can be undertaken. Membership fees are detailed below.
Please note
that ALL nippers require at least ONE parent to also become a member of our club and an adult must accompany their nipper to all nipper activities.
