Thank you for your interest in becoming a Lifesaver with Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club!

Becoming a lifesaver is a rewarding way to give back to the community, protect beachgoers, and learn valuable skills. At Mooloolaba, our volunteer lifesavers patrol the beach every weekend and public holiday from September to May, helping keep thousands of people safe each season.

How to Become a Lifesaver
To patrol with us, you’ll need to complete your Bronze Medallion—the essential qualification for surf lifesaving.

Bronze Medallion
This award teaches you core skills in surf awareness, rescue techniques, radio communication, CPR, and first aid. Once qualified, you’ll be able to perform rescues, take preventative action, and contribute to public safety on the beach.
