Member Protection

Bronte Surf Life Saving Club (Bronte SLSC) is committed to the health, safety, protection, welfare and wellbeing of all its members. It is dedicated to providing a positive, safe, fun, and enjoyable environment for all participants in surf lifesaving activities, in lne with the SLSA Member Protection Policy and the SLSA Child Safe Policy.

The SLSA Member Protection Policy outlines expectations regarding respect, ethics, professionalism, compliance with Club and SLSA rules, policies, and procedures, reporting breaches of the Safeguarding Program, and being a positive role model.

At Bronte SLSC, we take an inclusive approach, dedicated to being open to all members of the Australian community and providing a safe environment. We ensure that all our members are treated with respect and dignity and are protected from discrimination, harassment, and abuse. We recognise the importance of protecting young people under the age of 18 from abuse, harm and exploitation. Learn more about how we approach the Safety of Children and Young People.

We aim to create a safe and nurturing environment for all members participating in surf lifesaving by following the SLSA Member Protection Code of Conduct. As part of the surf lifesaving community, each individual commits to actively encouraging behaviours that promote a supportive and nurturing environment, contributing to our core purpose: to save lives, create great Australians, and build better communities.
