Who is the Australian Surf Lifesaver?

A surf lifesaver is a person who demonstrates the character, skill and service that epitomises the best of the Australian culture. Surf lifesavers give their time as volunteers in the service of their communities. They are fit, skilled, team oriented and adaptable Australians.

The Australian surf lifesaver …


  • commits personal time and energy to maintain safe beaches around Australia
  • develops and maintains a high level of skill through ongoing training
  • provides leadership in maintaining and developing volunteerism as a valued characteristic within Australian society
  • epitomises the strength and character of the Australian way of life

    The surf lifesaver is an Australian icon. Each person who wears the red and yellow cap is a recipient and guardian of that heritage.
