Across our coastline, Surf Life Saving Sydney continues to adapt and evolve in response to emerging challenges, embracing diversity and inclusion as central strengths. Our members not only save lives but also educate, connect, and protect our communities, by the community, for the community, and that is something we are deeply proud of.
Surf Life Saving Sydney respects and acknowledges the traditional custodians across all the lands on which we live, work and patrol, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Surf Life Saving Sydney works with other emergency services to keep our beaches and beyond safe during all emergencies.
Either responding to call outs beyond the flags or supporting the SES and other emergency services during flooding, SLS Sydney members respond during emergencies 24/7 and 365 days a year. As a branch we work actively with local emergency services and supporting agencies through local committees, exercises and in the operations room to prevent, prepare, respond and recover from disasters.
Our Lifesavers are trained to respond to emergencies on and off the beach including flood rescue, AIIMS incident management team rolls, UAV piloting during emergencies such as flooding and searches or after disasters during recovery, and regularly provide liaison officers to support Police, SES and RFS operations. We also actively participate in emergency planning and coordination with our emergency service partners on local and regional emergency committees and rescue committees.
