In the Health Promotion area Royal Life Saving continued to provide information for public awarenesscampaigns, conduct vital research into drowning and near drowning incidents and target both the ‘at-risk’groups and the cultural and linguistically diverse communities.

Notes

Lifesavers are everywhere in the community

They can be teachers, students, mums, dads, firemen, plumbers or accountants.

They patrol the houses, streets, workplaces and parks of the communities in which they live.

They don’t always wear a uniform but they can and do save lives.

Royal Life Saving is dedicated to turning everyday people into everyday community lifesavers.We achieve this through:

• Education • Training • Research • Health promotion • Risk management • Advocacy • Sport and participation • Research

We have been doing this for over 115 years.

Our programs are well researched.

They are available to all.
