Lifesaving Pathways Guide 2019/20 Lifesaving Pathways Guide 2019/20 Contents Roles in Lifesaving 4 Section One Lifesaving Awards / Volunteer Training 6 Section Two Membership and Leadership Development 18 Section Three Aquatic Sport 30 Section Four Life Saving Victoria State Positions 42 Section Five Careers 48 Your journey through lifesaving is unique. There are many different pathways to take you where you want to go. Use this booklet to guide your pathway. Let it inspire a pathway that will give you an experience of a lifetime Introduction This guide has been developed to assist and support Life Saving Victoria’s members to choose their development, training and leadership pathways. The document contains useful information on suggested pathways. These pathways are not intended to be compulsory but to be used as a guide for members as they progress through the different aspects of lifesaving in Victoria. Nationally Recognised Training Some of the lifesaving awards in this document are accompanied with nationally recognised units of competency. Only RTO’s such as LSV, can provide this type of training. Many of these units of competencies are also recognised by other industries. Life Saving Victoria Background Life Saving Victoria was established as an initiative of the Royal Life Saving Society Australia - Victoria Branch (est.1904) and Surf Life Saving Victoria (est. 1947). It has the mission to prevent aquatic related death and injury in all Victorian communities and the vision that all Victorians will learn water safety, swimming and resuscitation, and be provided with safe beaches, water environments and aquatic venues. Life Saving Victoria is forging new lifesaving and water safety initiatives while respecting the proud traditions and programs of the Royal Life Saving and Surf Life Saving National organisations. 3 Roles in Lifesaving LIFESAVING ROLES Lifesaver First Aid Officer Radio Operator Patrol Captain IRB Driver/Crew Lifeguard Water Safety Trainer and Assessor CLUB GOVERNANCE Education & CALD Instructors ROLES Event Lifeguards Examples of some club governance roles President Secretary Treasurer Club Captain Chief Instructor Member Protection Officer Junior Club Captain General Committee Member Social Committee Member Gear Steward Registrar Member Development Officer Club Administrator Uniform Officer Community Engagement Officer Team Manager Junior Coordinator 4 Roles in Lifesaving STATE ROLES LSV Board Director LSV Council Executive Member LSV State Officer State Duty Officer Council Delegate Council Panel Member Rescue Water Craft Operator NIPPERS ROLES LSVComms Operator Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Crew Nipper Participant Age Manager Age Manager Assistant Age Manager Presenter Nipper/ Junior Coordinator Water Safety Personnel Water Safety Coordinator AQUATIC SPORT ROLES Athlete Coach Official Team Manager Water Safety Personnel Powercraft Coordinator Safety & Emergency Management Coordinator 5 SECTION ONE LIFESAVING AWARDS / VOLUNTEER TRAINING Lifesaving Awards / Volunteer Training Over 35,000 volunteer club members contribute to ensure that visitors to the state’s patrolled coastal and inland waterways are provided with a safe and enjoyable aquatic experience. As volunteer lifesavers we patrol the beach, we educate and we strive to reduce the drowning toll to zero. To achieve this professionally and effectively members must train and obtain awards. These awards equip our lifesavers with the skills and knowledge needed to patrol our beaches. Course Categories and Awards include: Aquatic Rescue, First Aid & Emergency Care, Powercraft, Training & Assessment.

For over 40 years we’ve been helping to keep beaches safe. So thanks to our people in yellow and red.....and green. It is an honour to write the foreword for this special edition to mark the 40 years of the BP Surf Life Saving partnership. This magazine is a very special record of that partnership as well as the development of power craft in New Zealand. BP’s partnership with Surf Life Saving started in 1968. Europa had provided the Worser Bay Club with a new surf boat early in the year which was used to save passengers of the Wahine in Wellington Harbour. That event made my predecessors realise what role the company could play in helping to save lives. Today, 40 years later, BP supports the 208 IRBs (inflatable rescue boats) used by Surf Life Saving Clubs around the country to keep our beaches safe. The partnership is mutually beneficial and is about much more than just money. It’s about people. The thousands of volunteers that give their time to keep our beaches safe, they are the people that saved 1681 lives last summer, our financial support just helped to give them a tool to assist them in their work.

  • Surf Life Saving New Zealand – Sport Policy Statement SPS010
    Surf Life Saving New Zealand – Sport Policy Statement SPS010 Subject: IRB Racing Personal Protective Equipment Endorsement Date: March 2016 Endorsed By: SLSNZ Review Date: June 2016 1. Introduction Surf Life Saving IRB Racing is currently one of the few motor sport events in New Zealand that does not wear helmets, and the only water motor sport/extreme sport not to wear lifejackets in New Zealand. As a leading water safety organisation, we should be leading the way in reducing risks where appropriate for our members, as well as setting a good image and example to our communities on the beach. The introduction of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is one area we look to reduce risk along with the following key safety measures: Eliminate, Substitution, Isolation, Engineering, Administrative. There is increased pressure from organisations like Water Safety NZ, Coastguard and Harbour Masters regarding the wearing of Lifejackets for all boat users, power or unpowered. IRB racing has the highest injury rate to our members, and we are required to make practical steps to reduce risk and increase protection where possible. 2. Objectives of this Policy The objective of this policy is to provide best safety standards for members competing in IRB Racing and outline the requirements for personal protective equipment required. 3. Rules The following rules have been developed by the National IRB Advisory Group and National Sport Committee. With the one exception below, lifejackets are compulsory for all IRB Drivers, Crew and Patients in competition and competition training from the 1st January 2016. Prior to the 1st January 2016, the wearing of lifejackets is highly recommended.
