The North Coast Branch of Surf Life Saving Australia is a regional organisation within Australia’s largest volunteer movement, supporting surf lifesaving clubs and their members along the New South Wales coast. Its network includes clubs from Minnie Water-Wooli and Red Rock-Corindi to Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Urunga, Bellinger Valley-North Beach and Nambucca Heads. The Branch helps communities participate in lifesaving, education and surf sport, while promoting safer beach use through patrol information and guidance on flags, rip currents and sun safety.

Members and prospective participants can find information about joining a club, Nipper programs, junior development, membership, training courses and registration. The Branch also coordinates or supports surf sport carnivals, events, coaching and officials’ resources, and provides member development, recognition and child-safety information. Its education program includes courses such as First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation Techniques and Silver Medallion Beach Management, alongside pathways to become a trainer or assessor. News, calendars, circulars, forms, annual reports and branch governance documents help clubs and members stay informed.
