SLSQ is proud to work alongside our partners to grow the Surf Life Saving both within and beyond the LGBTQIA+ community across Australia.
Pride in Sport is a national not-for-profit program that assists sporting organisations and clubs with the inclusion of LGBTQ employees, athletes, coaches, volunteers, officials and spectators. It is part of ACON’s Pride Inclusion Programs, which provides a range of services to employers, sporting organisations and service providers with support in all aspects of LGBTQ inclusion. All funds generated through membership and ticketed events go back into the work of Pride in Sport, actively working alongside sporting organisations, clubs and participants to make Australian sport inclusive of LGBTQ communities.
Lifesavers with Pride, an organisation of LGBTQIA+ lifesavers and their allies who provide guidance, support and advocacy for all lifesavers committed to diversity and inclusion. They operate nationally, representing Surf Life Saving in LGBTQIA+ community events, and aim to promote lifesaving as a welcoming, progressive and inclusive movement for the LGBTQIA+ community. The organisation promotes awareness of beach safety and the role of lifesavers.
