How to join Manly LSC
We’re always keen to hear from potential new members interested in volunteering — whether as surf lifesavers or in other roles. Manly is one of Australia’s busiest beaches, and with major events throughout the season, there are plenty of ways to contribute.
There are 3 pathways available for new members aged 13 or older.
Note: All new memberships require Board approval.
1. Become a patrolling member 15yrs+ (Complete your Bronze Medallion)
If you’re 15yr or older and want to gain your Bronze Medallion and patrol with us, you’ll need to enrol in one of our Bronze Medallion training courses.
Once registered, you’ll be invited to join Manly LSC as a Probationary Member. The $400 fee includes the course and a $50 membership fee.
Click here to learn more about the Bronze Medallion and register your interest in an upcoming course.
2. New Cadet Member 13yrs (Not currently registered in Nippers)
For those aged 13yr who wish to complete the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) but are not part of the Nippers program.
Please note: An additional fee applies for the SRC course.
Interested in the SRC only? Contact us at admin@ManlyLSC.com
3. Associate Member (By application, subject to Board approval)
New Members who do not wish to gain a Bronze Medallion or other Surf Lifesaving Award may apply for associate membership.
Associate Membership is limited and not automatically renewed. It is granted based on active contribution to Manly LSC through volunteering.
From 1 July 2025, all renewing Associate Members must complete an application form outlining:
- Why are you renewing
- Your commitment to at least 20 volunteer hours per season
- Contributions made in the past year
This helps the Board assess eligibility and prioritise members who actively support the Club.
