Patrol Season runs from mid September through to the start of May. Patrols have now ended for season 2020-2021.
Memberships for the 2021/2022 season will be accepted from 1 July 2021*. Existing members will be sent an email reminder to renew their memberships.
All patrolling members must be financed by their first patrol. When memberships re-open, existing members are requested to renew online via SLSA Online Members Area. This is a simple process for which step-by-step information has been provided below.

BLUE CARDS
It is a requirement by SLSA that all patrolling members must hold a current blue card – Queensland’s ‘Working with children’ check. If you do not have a current blue card or you need to renew, there are now two options:
Option 1
Members can use the new forms here, but you must ensure you provide a QLD Licence or CRN number and Certified Copies of an identification document or CRN must accompany your application (this can only be certified by a JP, Commissioner for Declarations, Lawyer or Police Officer)
Option 2
Members can use the online application portal Blue Card Online Application Portal but you must ensure you have a QLD Licence or CRN number. You can also use the ‘How to’ guide to assist with this process.
ALREADY HAVE A BLUE CARD?
If you already have a blue card with another organisation, we are required to link this to SLSQ. You need to complete the Link an Applicant or Cardholder form.
BLUECARD EXEMPTIONS
Registered teachers and police officers remain exempt from requiring a blue card as part of their professional duties. However, when providing services which fall outside of professional duties, you must now complete an Exemption form and return it to the Club.
