Partnering with Surf Life Saving

Surf Life Saving NSW has a lot to offer sponsors with its iconic brand and 100-year history of serving the public.

While our surf lifesavers saved more than 5,800 lives last season, our responsibility does not stop at protecting beachgoers.  Surf Life Saving NSW encompasses beach safety, education and training, off duty emergency response, surf sports and member development.  These are all important cogs in the greater lifesaving machine.

To reflect this scope, a range of sponsorship options are available for organisations looking to partner with Surf Life Saving in New South Wales.

These include:

• Surf sports carnivals – juniors, open and masters
• Special events
• Lifesaving gear and equipment
• Lifesaving support services
• Leadership and youth development
• Junior lifesaving activities
• Educational programs for schools
• First Aid and community service delivery

Surf Life Saving NSW is committed to customising a package that meets your sponsorship objectives and delivers real and tangible results to both organisations.
