Joining / Renewing Membership
IMPORTANT: Before joining or renewing, ensure you have a current Working With Children Check, and it is linked to our club (details below)
Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club welcomes new members. Our primary function is to train and provide volunteer lifesavers and ensure Apollo Bay has a patrolled beach from November through to Easter. The Club is run by volunteers and we rely on members for their support to ensure we can deliver services to the community and activities to our membership.
Your annual membership fees ensure the Club remains viable and has the vital equipment and training to provide lifesaving services, maintain equipment, facilities and deliver essential programs such as Nippers, Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Medallion.
The Committee encourages members to become involved in the activities of the Club – volunteer lifesaving, nippers, fundraising, social get-togethers and we welcome members to stand for positions on the committee and subcommittees. If you are keen to get involved, we would love to hear from you. Email us at info@apollobayslsc.com.au for further information.
Working With Children Check
It is a requirement that all members over the age of 18 obtain a Working with Children Check (WWCC) with the Apollo Bay SLSC listed as the organisation. As a volunteer, it is a straight-forward process to obtain your WWCC and it is free of charge. CLICK HERE or visit http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/ to apply for a WWCC or to change existing card details.

Our Club Merchandise
Merchandise is available yearly via the popup shop at the club during the nippers program. You can take a sneak peak at some of the items here.
New Members
If you have never been a member of ANY surf club before
The Apollo Bay SLSC welcomes new members at any time of the year. Once you have completed the process you will automatically receive all email communications and newsletters sent out to our members.
For Nipper Members – once your membership application has been approved by the Club you then need to complete your Nipper Registration form. This can be found on this website under the ‘Nippers’ tab.
Renewing Members and Family Groups
Please note that you are not permitted to patrol, requalify for the year or participate in Nippers at Apollo Bay SLSC until your membership has been renewed.
If multiple members of one family are club members, you can easily manage all your membership under one Family Group.
