About
Stockton Surf Life Saving Club is a prominent sports club located in Newcastle, Australia. With over 30,000 visitors to Stockton Beach each year, the club is always seeking committed volunteers to become surf lifesavers and help patrol the beach. By becoming a surf lifesaver, individuals gain the necessary skills and knowledge to save lives.
One of the unique aspects of Stockton Surf Life Saving Club is its dedication to accommodating members of the community who may have disabilities. The club is one of the first in the area to provide a specially built all-terrain amphibious wheelchair, designed to assist individuals with different abilities in accessing the water safely and reliably.
In addition to its lifesaving efforts, Stockton Surf Life Saving Club also offers a premium event space called the Function Venue. This versatile venue is suitable for various types of functions, including weddings, charity events, and corporate bookings. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Stockton Bight, Stockton beach, Newcastle, and the breakwaters from the north-east facing venue.
With a rich history spanning over 100 years, Stockton Surf Life Saving Club was formed in 1908 and has continuously protected the coastline ever since. The club operates as a local community organisation run by dedicated volunteers who are committed to safeguarding individuals who surf and swim at the beach. Patrols are carried out on weekends and public holidays from September to April each year. Stockton SLSC also offers a range of programmes for all ages, including the Nippers Programme, Youth Development Programme, Surf Sports, and various education and training opportunities.
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of its members, Stockton Surf Life Saving Club maintains an ongoing review of its COVID Safety Plan, aligned with official sources such as the Australian Government Department of Health, NSW Health, and NSW Sport.
