How to join
New members are always welcome at Brighton Surf Life Saving Club (South Australia). Whether you intend to compete, patrol, enjoy the beach, socialise or commence training within your age group we have something to offer you.
REGISTRATION FOR SEASON OPENS FROM 1 OCTOBER.
The Surf Life Saving season runs from the 1 October to the 30 September. Registrations and membership renewals open on the 1 October each year following the Annual General Meeting.
Brighton SLSC is 100% volunteer based and asks its members to assist with key functions to operate the club. This means all monies raised goes back to our members rather than to paying personnel.
To become a member of Brighton you must first register with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) and create a members account.
NOTE: this is not required for a Community/Supporter membership. Please complete the simple form upstairs at the bar.
Our registration committee consists of the following wonderful volunteers. Feel free to speak with them if you have any questions
Existing / Renewing Members
Log into your Member Portal to renew your membership for the season. Don’t’ forget to update all contact information and pay your fees.
For parents renewing memberships for Nippers and Youth please ensure you update all medical details. Health forms will not be requested for this season, a parent must always be on the beach for Nippers.
NIPPER PARENTS NOTE: For Nipper membership at least one parent must also be registered, and a parent will need to accompany the child to Nipper activities (and join in too!).
If you need additional help, there are user guides available to help you through the process.
New Members
If you have NEVER been a member of a SLSC your membership is conducted through the Surf Life Saving Australia portal. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Apply
Click on SLSA Joining for New Members
NOTE: If applying as a family you must apply for EACH family member (starting with the ‘primary’ member, which might be yourself) then the others on subsequent rows.
The system will prompt you to set up an SLSA Member Area account. This is essential for club payments, renewals and change of details.
Step 2: Pay
At the end of this process you will be asked to pay with a credit card. Click on the ‘make payment’ button that appears after you have submitted your application(s).
Please note that your membership application will not be progressed UNTIL payment is received. Once you’ve applied, even if you’ve skipped payment, a generic automatic email will come to you from Surf Life Saving Australia that implies that you should wait to hear from the club.
If you need additional help there are user guides available to help you through the process.
THE CLUB REGISTRATION DESK IS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST NEW MEMBERS.
If you have any difficulties, or enquiries, please email the Registrar.
