SLSQ's fundraising efforts ensure that the organisation can continue its mission of keeping Queensland beaches safe, prevent drownings and promoting safe water activities. The funds raised typically go towards:
Equipment: purchase and maintenance of essential gear like rescue boards, first-aid supplies, and communication tools.
Training: SLSQ invests in training their volunteer lifesavers, from basic skills to advanced lifesaving techniques.
Education: campaigns to raise awareness about beach safety, such as the "Swim Between the Flags" initiative.
Volunteers: providing support and recognition programs, uniforms, and insurance for all volunteers.
General: everyday operational expenses, required to successfully run their surf life saving clubs.
