WHAT IS THE AUSTRALIAN LIFEGUARD SERVICE?
The Australian Lifeguard Service (ALS) is a fully integrated national lifeguard service that provides a committed, proactive and professional service on the beaches and the Australian community.
WHY CHOOSE US?
As the leader in the aquatic safety and lifeguard services industry for over 30 years, we set international standards through quality nationally accredited training, highly skilled staff and stringent standard operating practices.
About us
EXPERTISE
We incorporate strict operational procedures and controls including detailed management plans which meet agreed performance standards. We have access to comprehensive data on all Australian beaches, allowing us to better analyse demand and recommend appropriate service levels.
RISK REDUCTION
ALS holds comprehensive public liability, errors and omissions policies covering lifeguard operations to significantly reduce the risk to our clients.
PARTNERSHIP
We work to become a full partner in beach safety with you – from integration with your own quality assurance program, to regular meetings to review performance and plan improvements.
VALUE ADDING
From a national resource pool we can add value to your existing or potential operations while still allowing the community to recognise the local government or land manager’s commitment to public safety.
VALUE FOR MONEY/COST
The ALS avoids duplication of assets by providing and sharing resources with volunteer services so that we can reduce costs while maximising benefits to the community.
ADMINISTRATION
We can reduce your administration burden by taking on the administration of agreed items relating to procurement, leasing, maintenance and staff management, including all industrial relations issues.
INTEGRATION
We deliver seamless and effective cross service co-operation with all emergency services including surf lifesaving support operations groups and the nationwide volunteer club movement.
Want to become a lifeguard?
This may appear to be a ‘dream job’, spending your working hours on some of the world‘s most beautiful beaches, but there’s more to being an ALS lifeguard.
