Welcome to Season 2026/27!

Memberships (both new and renewals) are now open!

Fairhaven SLSC has been proudly serving the local Surf Coast community since 1957 and operates essential lifesaving services on funds generated through sponsorship, donations and membership fees. Please read the detailed joining and renewal instructions below.

Membership applicaitons, renewlas and fees are all submitted through the SLSA Members Hub with fees to be paid at the time of membership submission or renewal via credit card.

You'll find renewing and joining Fairhaven SLSC an accessible and simple process. We look forward to new members joining us. Questions? Contact us at membership@fairhavenslsc.org.

Please note: things you can do now to make sure your membership is processed in a timely manner:

If you're 18+ (or turning 18 within 12 months), make sure your Working With Children Check (WWCC) is current and linked to Fairhaven SLSC and Life Saving Victoria (LSV). See Working With Children Check.
If you're an active patrolling member needing Skills Maintenance (requalifying awards), plan your dates via Skills Maintenance. Registration only opens once memberships are processed.
