Celebrating 40yrs Women in surf life saving - 2020

July 1 2020 marks the 40 year anniversary of Women in Surf Life Saving being able to gain their Bronze Medallion and participate as active surf lifesavers in surf clubs around Australia.

BULLI SLSC has been blessed with outstanding female members & this will continue into the future.

While this anniversary celebrates the formal introduction of women in Surf Life Saving at a national level, women have been involved at all different levels of Surf Life Saving since its early inception in 1907.

Throughout history, there are stories of trail blazing women from around Australia who have supported local surf clubs in many ways before the official inclusion of women to active lifesaving duties in 1980.

Today, surf lifesaving now benefits from more than 79,775 dedicated female members of all ages and in all roles within and across the 314 surf clubs around Australia who contribute in activities from active patrolling, to surf sports, education and everything in between.
