Surf Lifesaving
Make a difference. Learn skills for life. Be part of Talle.
Becoming a surf lifesaver is one of the best ways to get involved at Talle. You’ll learn practical skills, help keep our beach safe and become part of a patrol team and wider club community.
You don’t need any previous lifesaving experience. Join Talle and we’ll help you get started.
A message from our President
Your pathway to becoming a lifesaver
Your first step is gaining a Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) from age 13, or Bronze Medallion from age 15. These qualifications teach the foundations of surf awareness, rescue techniques, first aid, resuscitation and working as part of a lifesaving team.
Once qualified, you’ll join one of our patrol teams, sharing patrol duties across the season from September to May. Patrols are a great way to put your skills into practice, meet other members and make a genuine contribution to your local beach.
Patrol Times
September to May
8.00am – 5.00pm
Christmas School Holidays
7.00am – 6.00pm
Build your skills
Your Bronze or SRC is just the beginning. Members can continue developing skills and qualifications across first aid, advanced resuscitation, IRB operations, radio communications, emergency care, water safety and more.
There are pathways to become an IRB crew member or driver, trainer, assessor, patrol leader and more — whether you want to develop your skills, take on leadership roles or simply enjoy being part of the team.

More than patrols
Being a lifesaver at Talle is also about being part of the club.
Our active members enjoy access to club facilities, gym and equipment, along with social events, training opportunities and the friendships that come from being part of a patrol team.
Through our Talle Perks incentive, we also recognise members who actively contribute to the club, rewarding the time and commitment our volunteers give throughout the season.
