About
Royal Life Saving NSW is the leader in drowning prevention and water safety education in the state.
Nationally, Royal Life Saving has a network of branches in each state and territory. These are known as the State and Territory Member Organisations (STMOs). Internationally, Royal Life Saving is a member organisation of the International Life Saving Federation, a network of lifesaving agencies from across the world who share a commitment to drowning prevention.
Royal Life Saving NSW was the first ‘lifesaving’ organisation in Australia, originating in 1894. In 2019 we celebrated 125 years.
So for over 125 years, Royal Life Saving NSW has saved lives in the community through education programs, vocational training, health promotion initiatives, aquatic risk management services, community development and participation in sport.
