Support lifesaving innovation
Surf Life Saving launches Innovation Fund
As we strive for zero preventable deaths in Australian waters, the Innovation Fund aims to deliver improved support to surf lifesavers through innovation and enhanced lifesaving technologies. This will allow Surf Life Saving to enhance and adapt services and develop new products to serve the water safety market.
Why was the Fund created?
The Surf Life Saving Innovation Fund is designed to invite members of the surf lifesaving community to contribute to the movement via innovative ideas to solve real problems associated with keeping the Australian coastline safe and achieving Surf Life Saving’s overarching vision of “zero preventable deaths.”
The Innovation Fund seeks to create new, incremental revenue streams through donors and corporate community partnerships to fund innovation initiatives.The power of the Innovation Fund will be engaging and harnessing over 115 years of water safety services experience, the collective knowledge of almost 190,000 volunteers across SLSA and open collaboration with technology and industry partners.
