Surf Lifesavers patrol on weekends and public holidays during the patrol season (mid-September to early May) and each day is split over two shifts:
Sep, Oct and Nov:
- Morning Patrol: 8:00am – 12.30pm
- Afternoon Patrol: 12.30pm – 5.00pm
Dec and Jan:
- Morning Patrol: 7:00am – 12.30pm
- Afternoon Patrol: 12.30pm – 6.00pm
Feb-May:
- Morning Patrol: 8:00am – 12.30pm
- Afternoon Patrol: 12.30pm – 5.00pm
Each surf lifesaver is allocated to a Patrol Group and each Patrol Group is required to have a certain number of award holders (for example, Silver Medallion (Patrol Captain), 3 x Bronze Medallion holders, First Aid and AID holders, IRB Driver and IRB Crew).
A Patrol Roster is drawn up each season taking into account public holidays and carnivals throughout the season. This is released in mid-August each year to allow members to understand their rosters before season commences
When available, the roster will be made available through the link below.
