Broadbeach SLSC is a traditional family surf club located on the picturesque Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. With over 85 years of history, the club is committed to ensuring the safety of beachgoers and providing a vibrant and inclusive community for members of all ages and abilities.
The club's dedicated volunteer members patrol the Broadbeach beachfront every weekend and public holiday, from September to May each summer season. With extended hours during the Christmas holiday season, patrols run from 8:00am to 5:00pm, allowing beach visitors to enjoy the ocean with peace of mind. During the patrol season, the club holds two Nipper Sign On Days for children to join the junior activities programme, which runs from September to March and offers a range of surf life-saving activities for young beach enthusiasts.
Broadbeach SLSC also offers a stunning beachside venue for hire, perfect for hosting special occasions, including birthdays, weddings, engagements, school reunions, presentation nights, as well as business meetings and conferences. The modern and spacious function room boasts uninterrupted views of the ocean and parkland, creating a relaxed and picturesque setting for any event.
As a non-profit organisation, Broadbeach SLSC relies on the support of its sponsors and supporters to continue its important work. The club is proud to be sponsored by a range of generous partners who contribute to the success and sustainability of the organisation.
Broadbeach SLSC's vision is aligned with Surf Life Saving Queensland's commitment to zero preventable deaths in Queensland public waters. Since its establishment in 1935, the club has remained dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable beach environment for the community. With a membership base exceeding 1,000 active members, including nippers, cadets, juniors, seniors, honorary, award, and life members, the club is a hub of volunteerism and community spirit.
In addition to conducting patrols and providing lifesaving services, the club also offers members the opportunity to participate in various social and sporting activities, including competitive surf sports, education and training programmes, and community events. With a strong focus on skill development, inclusivity, and camaraderie, Broadbeach SLSC is much more than a sports club.
