LIFE MEMBERSHIP Doug Menzies – Newport SLSC When Doug joined Newport SLSC initially as an Age Manager in 1995, little did he know at the time just how much he would become involved in surf life saving. He became the Club’s Nipper Chairman and then President of Newport SLSC. Doug has held numerous Club roles and over time became heavily involved in the field of Education as a Trainer and Assessor. Doug and his wife Sandy set up the Special Needs Program at Newport. Not surprisingly, Doug was handed Life Membership of the Club. Doug was also a SurfCom operator and has had input into the future directions of rescue and lifesaving. Bigger things were ahead for him. He spent one year as Deputy President of SNB Branch and then took on the top job as President in 2014. He has been in that role for five years. Apart from his many other time consuming roles, simply because he loves it so much, Doug has continued to be a patrolling member and has racked up 575 career hours.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP Geoff Raper - North Palm Beach SLSC Geoff has certainly been heavily involved in the surf lifesaving movement since he first joined Bilgola SLSC in 1995. While he started out as ‘’House Captain” at Bilgola and later became President of that Club, these days he’s President of North Palm Beach SLSC. While Geoff was SNB Branch Lifesaver of the Year in the 2009- 2010 season, one of his biggest loves is being a Jetski operator. He has made a huge contribution to Education and Lifesaving at Branch level as a Trainer and Assessor and as a Branch board member. Geoff was Branch Director of Lifesaving from 2013-17. He is still an After Hours Duty Officer, Duty Officer, RWC operator, Powercraft panel member and RWC Trainer. In recent years, Geoff has been awarded Branch Distinguished Service Honours, the Branch President’s Award and the Harry Ragan Award.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP Bill Sheridan – Collaroy SLSC Some 33 years ago, Bill was approached by Collaroy SLSC if he would become their official photographer. Prior to that invitation, Bill owned a delicatessen in Coogee and won a scholarship to the Institute of Balkan Studies at the University of Thessaloniki in Greece. When he sold his business, he joined the South Sydney Juniors Camera Club, knowing there could be some very interesting surf images to present to photographic competitions. He took up Collaroy’s offer, free of charge, and also became the SNB Branch photographer and serviced all Clubs. Whilst an Alderman on the City of Sydney Council (1984-87) he forwarded surf boat photos to Mayor Doug Sutherland, who was then Patron of SLSNSW. Doug would send them onto sponsors. Bill has been awarded Distinguished Service of the SNB Branch and Collaroy SLSC, the Branch President’s Award and now this latest honour of Branch Life Membership.

14 EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW BRANCH HONOURS LIFE MEMBERSHIP.....DISTINGUISHED SERVICE..... OUTSTANDING SERVICE.....PROMINENT SERVICE

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE John Fahey – Collaroy SLSC John has been involved with the Roys for 42 years. Once John obtained his Bronze Medallion in 1977, he then became very passionate about the movement, especially surf sports. He is a Surf Official Level 3 and has 25 years of officiating under his belt at Australian Championships. John has conducted numerous officials courses for the Branch and was the SNB Branch Director of Surf Sports from 2011 to 2013. He has received his 40-year service award for his devotion to the Collaroy SLSC.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE Shannon Job – North Steyne SLSC There’s not much Shannon hasn’t done in surf life saving at such a young age. While Shannon did his Bronze Medallion at Long Reef through the Shore School system, it is when he joined North Steyne SLSC in 2006 that he grew as a lifesaver. He initially became a Patrol Captain, then Club Captain and has been heavily involved in Training and Education for the Club. He was a member of the SNB TIPs team and SurfCom, was the Branch Director of Education from 2012 to 2015 and then became Branch Deputy President. He is a past winner of the Harry Ragan Award and former SNB Leader of the Year. Shannon also made a name for himself in Champion Lifesaver and won several NSW titles.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE Lance Barnes – Newport SLSC Lance didn’t grow up on the northern beaches but found his way to Newport SLSC in 2002 and joined as an Associate Member. Two of his three kids joined Nippers. He used to drive them from Kellyville at weekends. They then did their SRC, Bronze Medallion and became patrolling members. Lance later became more involved in the SNB Branch when he moved into the area and took on the role of Director of Finance. He held that position for seven years, a very challenging role at that. His financial skills and experience have proved invaluable. Lance led the executive to develop strategies to address income streams and cash flow and put in place a plan to ensure the ongoing viability of the Branch.

EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW 15 BRANCH HONOURS LIFE MEMBERSHIP.....DISTINGUISHED SERVICE..... FAREWELL TO TWO LONG-STANDING DIRECTORS

OUTSTANDING SERVICE Frank Traugott – North Steyne SLSC Frank was introduced to North Steyne Beach when he was nine. His parents bought him a 10ft 9in Gordon Woods surf board and he’s been riding a board ever since. The last thing Frank ever expected was to become President of North Steyne SLSC, a position he has held for the past four years. Frank initially did his Bronze Medallion at Dixon Park SLSC in 1981 when he was studying at Newcastle University. He did his patrols and rowed surfboats for Dixon Park. He moved back to the northern beaches in 1984 but it wasn’t until 2002 that Frank became a member of North Steyne SLSC and did his bronze a second time with his son Adam, who became the Club’s Chief Instructor. Surf life saving suddenly became a big part of Frank’s life, especially in Education. He’s spent more than 15 years training Bronze, SRC, Spinal and ARTC. He’s also an Assessor and been a Facilitator and was SNB Branch Assessor of the Year in the 2017-18 season.

OUTSTANDING SERVICE Steve Atkins – North Curl Curl SLSC Steve was a beach sprinter when he first started out in surf life saving and is still doing patrols after 50 years. Spider, as he is affectionately known, grew up in Granville and it was through Parramatta Police Boys Club that led him to join South Curl Curl SLSC in 1969. One of his first roles was Club Treasurer. Then he took on positions of Club Captain and Craft Captain before he eventually became Club President for the first time in 1987. He had two terms as President over six years and later was bestowed Life Membership. Also at South Curl Curl, he was a member of the winning Australian open beach relay team at Clifton Beach in Tasmania in 1976 and was part of a successful Branch team three years later. He was then still commuting to training from Granville. Steve switched Clubs to North Curl Curl SLSC in 2004 and has been massively involved in the Club. He has been a Bronze Medallion Trainer for 15 years and IRB Trainer for 12 years.

PROMINENT SERVICE Peter Madden – South Narrabeen SLSC Peter has lived on the northern beaches all his life but only really got involved in surf life saving when his kids joined Nippers. He became an Age Manager at South Narrabeen SLSC in 1997 and, two years later, obtained his Bronze Medallion. Peter was hooked. He became Nipper Chairman in 2000 and it resulted in the Club having a 60 per cent increase in Nipper membership over the three seasons he was at the helm. He took on the big role of Club President in 2007, again for three seasons. Peter has been a Patrol Captain now for 17 years and has also been a Silver Medallion IRB Driver. He has assisted with Bronze Medallion and IRB training over the years. He was bestowed Life Membership of the Club in 2014.

LANCE BARNES

HOW LANCE FOUND NEWPORT AND THE BRANCH When you have kids and they start playing sport or do other activities, parents provide a ‘taxi service’. Lance Barnes was no different with his children. Two of his three boys, Aaron and Taylor, did Nippers and later patrols at Newport SLSC. Lance and his wife Lorraine didn’t live on the northern beaches but in Kellyville – some 53km from the Surf Club. ‘’We were attracted to Newport SLSC by some friends who also lived in Kellyville,’’ Lance said. Lance became an Associate Member of the Newport SLSC in 2002. He would help out board as Director Administration/Finance in challenging, but Lance’s expertise and on the barbeque on weekends and do other the 2012-13 season. skills brought about a number of very things around the Club.

SHANNON JOB

SHANNON CERTAINLY CAME A LONG WAY FROM SHORE SCHOOL Shannon Job was just a young high school student from the Shore School when he started out in surf life saving 16 years ago.

Shannon has just completed seven years on the board, first as Branch Director of Education and then as Branch Deputy President. There’s no doubt Shannon would have gone to greater heights but he has been forced to stand aside because of work commitments, involving overseas travel.

The Season in Review Training Officer, Assessor and Facilitator (TAF) Development

It’s important for all members to glimpse beyond the training room to look at the amount of work required to maintain educational standards and member qualifications. This past season has been particularly arduous on the compliance front with significant challenges.

Training and Assessment Certificate IV holders were required to upgrade their qualifications with two additional units of competency in order to remain current. TAFs endured three full days of face to face or on-line training followed by submitting lengthy assessment tasks to keep their Training, Assessing and Facilitator qualifications. A huge ask for our volunteers.

To put it all in perspective, without qualified Certificate IV holders, we can no longer facilitate Training Officer courses, Silver Medallion Beach Management, or the Silver Medallion Aquatic Search and Rescue courses. It is a Vocational Education Training industry body requirement that every assessment conducted across the Branch must have a Certificate IV holder overseeing the EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW 27 EDUCATION

process, so Certificate IV endorsement affects all levels of Education within Surf Lifesaving.

Planning is underway on how to design, develop and implement a supervisory framework for next season’s courses and assessments across the Branch to meet revised industry standards. More than ever, we will be governed by the relevant Education industry legislation. However, there is some flexibility for us as an enterprise RTO to define the “how to” and the level of supervision.

The Education Team will be working closely with SLSNSW to ensure our current central venues and assessment supervisory models are endorsed, as one model won’t fit all Branches.

At a State level, sincere thanks to Andrew Chan, Louise Cooke, and Judy Spicer for their assistance and at SLSA Pamela Simon and Hayley Jay. As I was writing this overview, I quickly realised it is almost impossible to highlight all the Educational achievements.

I have only touched the surface within this report. Therefore, I wish to thank all those who have contributed to the Education portfolio in some way or another during the course of the season.

It is an entire team of members that have made this past season a success, and I thank each and everyone of you.

Together, we have made the 2018-19 season an outstanding one, and I thank you for giving me the honour of leading such a significant portfolio within the SNB Branch.

Speedo Junior Lifesaver of the Year

The 2018-19 Junior Lifesaver of the Year program was again boosted by a very high calibre of nominations. The judges were extremely hard pressed to choose the two winners who would then go on to represent SNB at the SLSNSW Junior Lifesaver of the Year camp. Thanks to judges, Lee Cooper, Trae Hare-Boyd and Geoff Raper.

The JLOTY Advisers were hard at work advertising and promoting the program to Clubs.

Sarah and Trae did an exceptional job with organising a new workshop that was held at the SurfCom location. Along with assisting the candidates with their initiatives, Sarah and Trae organised Geoff Raper to attend on a jetski and all the candidates got to have some rides on the rescue mat. Adrian Hill attended with the newly acquired drone and showed the candidates some flight time and did some shark searching and then showed everyone through the After Hours Duty Officer car. Then after some free time and lunch, it was into working on interview techniques before finishing up and heading home.

Working through interview techniques enables the candidates to be a little more at ease when they are attending the SNB interviews and eventually the NSW camp. It is also something that these candidates can call upon outside of surf lifesaving when they are trying to secure part time jobs … another helpful life skill for our youth members. It’s always a great help to be guided by your peers when doing something new and

Sarah and Trae were great role models to the candidates during the whole program. The workshop also gives the candidates a chance to meet and spend some time with their peers from neighbouring Clubs. It starts out very quiet and by lunch time, it seems like everyone has known each other for years.

The candidates are always willing to share knowledge and past experiences through Nippers, carnivals they have attended and what they thought about their SRC program. New friendships are made and the camaraderie throughout the workshop is evident.

It was very positive to hear that some of the candidates had already introduced and implemented their ideas and programs into to their Club by the time they attended their JLOTY interview.

We are always lucky enough to have a group of motivated, passionate and inspirational SRC’s and Clubs should be congratulated for encouraging this age group through surf lifesaving. Each Club who provided a candidate this year was This is a vitally important youth program forward to them producing another exceptionally well represented by their for our Branch.

Mellanie Richardson was the winner of the Raymond Matthew Brown Radio Operator’s Award Mellanie was an operator throughout the season. She demonstrated leadership, commitment and consistency throughout her shifts. She always found a sub when needed or put her hand up to sub or cover vacant shifts that needed to be filled.

Despite it being only her second full season, Mellanie showed professionalism and confidence during incidents. She was a worthy recipient of the award.

As we all know, without officials, we would not be able to run carnivals. One role that is often overlooked is the role of the recorder.

Without a recorder, we would not have results and no point scores at the end of each carnival.

The recipient of the Cedric T Walton Award for Competition Recording was Megan Hayward - Newport SLSC Megan worked tirelessly recording results at numerous surf boat carnivals in the Branch.

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE As I write my report in my final year as Director of Finance, ABN 31 416 737 307 it gives me great pleasure to confirm our profit result and improvement in cash position at year end. I would like to congratulate the Branch team and Executive who have always supported the financial needs of the Branch and have been enablers in moving the Branch closer to financial For the year ended March 31, 2019 sustainability. The continuing generosity of our sponsors, Northern Beaches Council and local businesses assists the Branch in delivering a high level of beach safety and offering other services to our members and they all receive our deepest gratitude. Our Surf Life Saving School’s activities continue to grow and the Branch team works hard to keep building the base Contents of schools that use our programs and we have continued to modify the offering to suit our customers’ needs.

Thanks also to all the other sponsors and supporters who remain with us into 2019- Statement of Cash Flows 83 20. Long-term financial sustainability continues to be our primary focus. The changes in government funding for Surf Lifesaving NSW should allow us to maintain a positive trend Notes to the financial statements 84 towards achieving that goal. The details concerning how this funding will flow to Branches and clubs are still being Members of the Committee’s declaration 101 finalised but are likely to cover both capital and operating costs in certain areas. Independent Audit Report 102 Our budget for the coming year reflects the improvement in overall profitability compared to this year’s result and we decided not to include any of the funding expected from Surf Lifesaving NSW until the details become clear. This budget will enable the Branch to continue to deliver its wide range of services and invest in key areas. I have been a little disappointed with the response of the club committees to the workshops organised on Fiduciary responsibilities. The Branch team are revisiting the offering to attempt to make it easier to participate and perhaps deliver shorter presentations. I strongly urge all clubs who have new or inexperienced directors to make it compulsory for their committee members to obtain the required knowledge either from the Branch or an accredited external party. In closing I would like to thank my fellow Board members and Steve, Jen and the other members of the Branch team for giving me their support over the time I have been on the Board and to thank the Club Presidents for electing me and allowing me to serve this wonderful movement. It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of the team and I wish you every success for the future. EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW 77

Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1: Nature of operations Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated principal activities to provide, maintain and promote a safe beach and aquatic environment and be a valued Surf Lifesaving service to the community of Sydney Northern Beaches.

Note 2: General information and statement of compliance These financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not- for profits Commission Act 2012. Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Ltd is a not-for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial report covers Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated (Association). Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated is an Association incorporated in NSW under the Association Incorporations Act 2009. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Association in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Note 3: Changes in accounting policies A number of new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Information on the more significant standard(s) is presented below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

It makes major changes to the previous guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces an ‘expected credit loss’ model for impairment of financial assets. When adopting AASB 9, the Association has applied transitional relief and opted not to restate prior periods. Differences arising from the adoption of AASB 9 in relation to classification, measurement, and impairment are recognised in opening retained earnings as at 1 January 2018.

The adoption of AASB 9 has not had a material impact on the Association.

AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Share- based Payment Transactions

Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The adoption of these standards has not had a material impact on the Association.

Note 4: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

(A) Basis of Preparation

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarised below.

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by Australian Accounting Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below. (B) Accounting Policies Taxes Income Tax: No provision for income tax has been raised as the Association is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Fringe Benefits Tax: The Association, as a Public Benevolent Institution, was exempt from fringe benefits tax under Section 57A, Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986. Grossed up value of specified fringe benefits to individual employees has been included on each employee’s Statement of Earnings as required by law. From 1 April 2001 this exemption ceased for certain fringe benefits paid to employees in excess of $30,000 grossed up value for each employee. Capital Gains Tax: The Association, as a Public Benevolent Institution, is exempt from capital gains tax under Section 50-5, Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. a) Property Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuation by external independent valuer, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalue amount of the asset. b) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected

EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW 85 Page 13 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to present values in determining the recoverable amounts. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Association includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalue carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the assets original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings. c) Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are: Class of Asset Depreciation Rate % Buildings 2.5% Plant and equipment 13 – 23% Other furniture and equipment 10 – 40% Motor vehicles 18% Other 20%

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the income statement. When revalue assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

86 EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW Page 14 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

Leases Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not legal ownership, are transferred to the Association are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual value. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Association will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the leaser, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight - line basis over the life of the lease term.

Financial Instruments Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

• amortised cost • fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Classifications are determined by both:

• The entities business model for managing the financial asset

EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW 87 Page 15 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses. Subsequent measurement financial assets Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

• they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Association’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as long-term deposit that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply (see below). Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI) Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital. Impairment of Financial assets AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses - the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Association considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

88 EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW Page 16 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. Trade and other receivables The Association makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Association uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely unchanged from AASB 139, the Association’s financial liabilities were not impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. However, for completeness, the accounting policy is disclosed below. The Association’s financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Association designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments). All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

Accounting policies applicable to comparative period (31 March 2018) Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

• loans and receivables • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) • Held-to-maturity (HTM) investments • Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below. All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs or finance income, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Association’s trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default. Receivables that are not considered to be individually impaired are reviewed for impairment in groups, which are determined by reference to the industry and region of a counterparty and other shared credit risk characteristics. The impairment loss estimate is then based on recent historical counterparty default rates for each identified Association. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) include financial assets that are either classified as held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designated at FVPL upon initial recognition.

90 EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW Page 18 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. Held-to-maturity (HTM) investments

Held-to-maturity (HTM) investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity other than loans and receivables. Investments are classified as HTM if the Association has the intention and ability to hold them until maturity. Held-to-maturity (HTM) investments are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, determined by reference to external credit ratings, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognised in profit or loss. Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets

Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated to this category or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. All available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported within the AFS reserve within equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from the equity reserve to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income. Interest calculated using the effective interest method and dividends are recognised in profit or loss within ‘revenue’. Reversals of impairment losses for AFS debt securities are recognised in profit or loss if the reversal can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For AFS equity investments impairment reversals are not recognised in profit loss and any subsequent increase in fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities The Association’s financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payable. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis and include direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenses.

EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW 91 Page 19 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

Employee Benefits Provision is made for the liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee entitlements payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash out flows to be made for those entitlements.

Provisions Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material. Any reimbursement that the Association can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources is remote in which case no liability is recognised. The liability for deferred income is the unutilised amounts of grants received on the condition that specified services are delivered or conditions are fulfilled. The services are usually provided or the conditions usually fulfilled within 12 months of receipt of the grant. Where the amount received is in respect of services to be provided over a period that exceeds 12 months after the reporting date or the conditions will only be satisfied more than 12 months after the reporting date, the liability is discounted and presented as non-current.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks or financial institutions, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking in to account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

92 EMBRACING THE RED & YELLOW Page 20 of 30

Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated ABN 31 416 737 307

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Grants A number of the Association’s programs are supported by grants received from local government and non- government institutions. If conditions are attached to a grant which must be satisfied before the Association is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of the grant as revenue is deferred until those conditions are satisfied. Where a grant is received on the condition that specified services are delivered, to the grantor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction. Revenue is recognised as services are performed and at year-end until the service is delivered. Revenue from a non-reciprocal grant that is not subject to conditions is recognised when the Association obtains control of the funds, economic benefits are probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Where a grant may be required to be repaid if certain conditions are not satisfied, a liability is recognised at year end to the extent that conditions remain unsatisfied. Where the Association receives a non-reciprocal contribution of an asset from a government or other party for no or nominal consideration, the asset is recognised at fair value and a corresponding amount of revenue is recognised.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Disposal of Surplus Annual Surplus: The Associations Incorporations Act prohibits the distribution of any surplus to Members. All income must be applied solely towards the promotion of the objects of the Association. Surplus on Liquidation: As required by the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991, the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and Tax Ruling TR 2000/12 and Rule 35 of the Constitution, any assets remaining upon the winding up of the Association must be applied to the objects or purposes for which they were raised.

Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimation uncertainty Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different. Impairment In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating units, based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate. Useful lives of depreciable assets Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment. Inventories Management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realisation of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices. Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

hanks to the Ducks for Duckies fundraising event at Warringah Mall in January, SLSSNB raised almost T$5,000 for surf lifesaving clubs on the northern beaches.

As Bilgola SLSC and Collaroy SLSC helped out, they were the biggest winners.

The event was held at the fountain in the Dolphin Court area of the Mall. People were asked for a $2 donation and could win instant prizes.

Westfield are proud to be a long-term partner of Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches.

A spokesperson for Westfield Warringah Mall said: ‘’We’re always in awe of the fantastic work and effort that the volunteer men and women lifesavers provide to keep the beaches safe on the northern beaches throughout the summer months.

‘’We also know that it is expensive to purchase and maintain all that critical equipment with one of the most important items being the IRB, affectionately known as a ‘rubber ducky’.’’

There’s a big chance the ducks will make a return next year.
