Royal Life Saving

Royal Life Saving is focused on reducing drowning and promoting healthy, active and skilled communities through innovative, reliable, evidence based advocacy; strong and effective partnerships and quality programs, products and services.

There is no one reason Australians drown, so there is no one simple solution. For that reason, our approach needs to reflect the complexity of the range of issues that result in drowning deaths.

For over 125 years the Royal Life Saving Society has worked to harness the strengths of the communities we work with to reduce drowning and turn everyday people into everyday community lifesavers.

Royal Life Saving Society Queensland Inc was founded in 1905 and is the first life saving society in Queensland. We are the peak body for drowning prevention and aquatic safety in Queensland, working very closely with our partner organisations.

Royal Life Saving is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO #5431), view our registration status.

Royal Life Saving Society Queensland Inc is a public benevolent institution (PBI) and is a Incorporated Association. The Society was originally established under charter from the UK, however in the 1980's registered as an incorporated association.
