Lifesaving Training

Successful lifesaving is accomplished through volunteer lifesavers having specific, relevant, and up to date training and education. Lifesavers apply their knowledge and skills to provide the beach going public with a service of prevention, promotion, and protection.

Our education courses are nationally recognised courses through Surf Life Saving Queensland, providing opportunities for skills-based development and are provided for patrolling members of our club, to help save lives and keep Noosa Beach and surrounds safe.

Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club provides courses through Surf Life Saving Queensland RTO #2804
