More information

 

The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) was founded in England in 1891 to combat a high drowning toll. The techniques advocated by the Society were soon adopted by many countries and today the RLSS represents the largest single organisation dedicated to the teaching of lifesaving and the prevention of drowning. The first Australian Branch was formed in New South Wales in 1894 and the movement soon spread to all States. In subsequent years the Society focused its attention on water safety education and rescue training for inland areas, and particularly for school children. Today, RLSSA operates as Australia's leading water safety educator - a not for profit charitable organisation, public benevolent institution (PBI) and volunteer community service organisation with a Branch in every State and Territory of Australia. Branches conduct courses in water safety, lifesaving, resuscitation, first aid and lifeguarding and provide an extensive range of the highest quality resources
