CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATES & RESOURCES FOR SLSNSW MEMBERS
SLSNSW is committed to ensuring the safety and well being of our members, and with the current Coronavirus emergency continuing to escalate, we feel it is important to provide as much information to you that is relevant in your role as lifesavers, emergency first responders and community members.
Event Impacts Due to Coronavirus:
Due to the NSW Government’s Public Health Order to cancel all events and gatherings of 500 people or more, the following events have been cancelled or postponed.
Please refer to the Surf Life Saving NSW website for the most up-to-date event information.
IRB Championships
These championships that were scheduled to be commenced on 3 May 2020 have been postponed. SLSNSW will be developing an alternate proposed schedule for these events to be run later in the year - dependent on advice provided by the authorities.
Pool Rescue Championships
This event was scheduled for July 2020. As these events attract over 500 participants, these events have been cancelled to comply with the NSW Government mass gathering directions. This will be reviewed later this year and decision made to whether to reinstate based on advice provided by the authorities.
SLSNSW Board Riding Championships
This event was scheduled to be held in August 2020. It has now been cancelled.
Junior Lifesaver of the Year (JLOTY) & Youth Opportunity Maker (YOM) Development Programs
These programs that were scheduled for April 2020 have been postponed with a decision to reinstate at a later time this year - if possible. This will be informed by advice provided by the authorities.
SLSNSW State Club Conference
This conference was scheduled to be held in July 2020. As this event attracts greater than 500 participants, a decision has been made to postpone this event to comply with the NSW government mass gathering directions. An alternate date will be set and communicated to all members once we ascertain the appropriate time to hold this.
SLSNSW Awards of Excellence
This event was scheduled to be held in August 2020. A decision has been made to postpone the awards function. Nominations will still continue to be called for and submitted to celebrate the incredible work and value surf lifesavers provide to the community. We will review when we may be able to hold this function later this year, but again this will be dependent on advice provided by the authorities.
At club level we have put on hold our Awards/Presentation Night, our Annual General Meeting until further notice.
Also unfortunately we have had to cancel this years MND Walk, Soul Fit Kids Fun Run & Heart Foundation/Cancer Council Bowls Day with the relevant organisers.
