You will provide an important link to emergency services and will be responsible for liaising directly with police and ambulance officers when required.

You will also take charge of monitoring activity along Queensland’s expansive coastline using state-of-the-art technology, including GPS tracking and SLSQ’s wide-reaching network of coastal surveillance cameras.

IMPORTANT:

Applicants must be prepared to do two (2) full years service (subject to extenuating circumstances, eg. Job transfer). If a crew member resigns before full service is completed, such member will forfeit any rights to join the SLSQ Operations Support at any future time. Being a member of the crew does not give the privilege to neglect normal Club duties. Accordingly, applicants must realise that SLSQ Operations Support involvement is an extra duty and not a substitute for normal Club duties, and by becoming involved, you may be committing yourself to further obligations over and above your present surf life saving activities.
