On the Same Wave - Culturally and linguistically diverse Water Safety and Inclusion Program
On the Same Wave is a culturally responsive water safety and inclusion program designed to reduce drowning risk among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The program combines practical skill development with community engagement to build confidence, awareness, and safer behaviours around the water.
It is suitable for community groups, schools, and organisations supporting CALD participants, and is delivered through flexible formats including:
- Classroom-based beach and water safety presentations
- Pool-based water safety skills sessions
- Practical beach programs held at your preferred location, focused on building water safety skills and developing safe behaviours
Sessions are tailored to participants’ age, experience, and confidence levels, and are supported by multilingual resources and culturally trained instructors to ensure accessibility and inclusivity.
Participants gain essential knowledge of local beach conditions, hazard identification, and how to respond safely in and around the water.
The program aligns with SLSQ’s mission to save lives, create great Australians and build better communities, and directly contributes to the vision of zero preventable deaths in Queensland waters.
