Join the Movement
Our lifesaving members each play a critical role in ensuring the safety of visitors to our waterways – and we’re looking to grow our family!
With more visitors to Victorian waterways each year, we rely on our volunteers and members to help ensure public safety. From volunteering between the flags to running a barbecue for our future lifesavers, there are so many diverse volunteering opportunities for every age, background and ability.
Even sparing one hour a month to contribute to your club and community makes a significant impact on the safety of visitors to Victorian waterways.
When you join a club, you join a community. Each of our 43,000 Victorian members have their own story within lifesaving with one thing in common – there really is something for everyone.
Joining your local lifesaving club is the beginning of your journey and your own unique experience. You never know how you’ll grow in lifesaving!

Develop skills and experience
Form friendships with like-minded individuals
Stay fit and active
Become part of a welcoming and inclusive community
