Each year, both SLSA and SLSNSW produce several reports and publications that will assist you in providing the most current and accurate information to both SLS members and members of the public.
The data and information within these reports come from various sources, such as patrol logs and incident reports completed by patrol members and members, and provides evidence to support the need for continued sponsorship and funding as a non-profit organisation.
Refer to the SLSNSW Reports and Publications webpage and the SLSA Publications website to read the latest and past versions of the following SLS reports and publications on a state and national level.
Coastal Safety Reports
Each year SLSA release a coastal safety report that provides an overview of the community, SLS capability (including incident and preventive action statistics), and an analysis of the coastal drowning statistics.
It also includes feature articles that contain information resulting from research into coastal and ocean drowning deaths.

Coastal Safety Briefs
Each year SLSA releases coastal safety briefs that aim to inform future mitigation strategies to reduce unintentional coastal deaths attributed to the most common causes of drowning. They also provide insights into the results of SLSA’s annual National Coastal Safety Survey that explores current Australian attitudes and behaviours towards coastal safety.
Past coastal safety briefs have included featured topics concerning drowning and emergency care incidents such as alcohol and drugs, rip currents, rock fishing, boating, snorkelling and scuba diving and surfing and watercraft.
