The focus is on teaching students how to respond to realistic scenarios leading to injury. Students need to actively apply basic first aid principles and where applicable, determine preventative actions where risky behaviour is a precursor to injury. First aid content is divided into 5 key injury areas - Bites, Breaks, Burns, Bleeds and Breathing. Teacher resources provide a framework for lessons/topics, scenario content and the corresponding first aid treatment students need to determine and demonstrate. Content has been written to align to the Australian and NSW Health and Physical Education Curriculums meaning teachers can deliver the content whilst ensuring they are meeting curriculum outcomes.

  • Warning and Signage

    Warning and Signage Warning and Signage Safety Factsheet # 15 Weather Warnings The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) provides a 24-hour forecast and wind warning service for Australian coastal waters. Warnings are issued and updated for: hazardous surf conditions (wave height and period) strong winds (average 26 to 33 knots, plan for gusts of 36 to 45 knots) gale force winds (average 34 to 47 knots, plan for gusts of 48 to 65 knots) storm force winds (average 48 to 63 knots, plan for gusts of 67 to 88 knots) hurricane force winds (average 64 knots or more, plan for gusts of 90 knots or more). Note that wind gusts may be up to 40% stronger than the forecast average. 'Significant wave height' means that maximum waves may be up to twice the forecast height. Before you head out, download the BOM app or visit the BOM website for the latest weather information: Marine and oceanlaunch for warnings and forecasts, including hazardous surf warnings MetEyelaunch for detailed forecasts for your area. While you're on the water When you're on the water, check the weather regularly by: listening to your marine radio for Marine Rescue NSW weather warnings broadcast on VHF 16 and 27 MHz 88 checking the BOM mobile websitelaunch to monitor the weather and check for new or updated warnings, forecasts, heavy rain and thunderstorms. You can also call the BOM Weather Warning Service on 1300 132 536launch . Always keep an eye on the sky and the water. If you see changes – for example, threatening clouds in the sky or whitecaps on the water – make sure everyone is wearing a lifejacket and head for shore. Weather systems can be deceptive. From a distance they can appear to move slowly, but can change quickly and suddenly. Take extra care when travelling on open waters and alpine waters . Water Safety Signs There are three main types of water safety signs you will find when you are around water. Each one has its own meaning, but all of them work to the same system. If you go to the seaside, then there are sometimes special flaks to also look out for. In addition to the water safety signs, you will also find informationn signs telling you where the toilets are or where you can get first aid. They will also tell you where the public rescue equipment is held. Related Items Explore deeper into our campaign messages to learn more Cold Water Rips and Currents Weather conditions

  • BE POOL SAFE

    BE POOL SAFE | Small pools, silent risks — active supervision and safe barriers save young lives. BE POOL SAFE Small pools, silent risks — active supervision and safe barriers save young lives. At Royal Life Saving, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow up safe around water. In Australia, pools are a valued part of family life — a place for fun, connection and cooling off — but for young children, they can also pose a serious and silent risk. The Be Pool Safe campaign focuses on preventing drowning and near-drowning incidents among children aged 0–4 years , particularly in backyard swimming pools and portable or inflatable pools , where the majority of early-childhood drownings occur. Tragically, children under five remain one of the highest-risk groups for drowning in Australia. Most of these incidents happen quickly, quietly, and close to home — often during short lapses in supervision, or when pool barriers, gates, or covers are missing, faulty, or not used correctly. Portable and inflatable pools add further risk, as they are often set up temporarily, left unattended, or not treated with the same safety controls as permanent pools. The Be Pool Safe campaign encourages parents, carers and families to take simple but critical actions to keep young children safe around pools. These include maintaining effective pool fencing and self-closing gates, actively supervising children at all times, removing distractions, and ensuring portable pools are emptied, secured, or fenced when not in use. Research consistently shows that supervision alone is not enough. Drowning can occur in seconds, which is why layers of protection — including physical barriers and preparedness — are essential. Learning CPR, knowing how to respond in an emergency, and understanding the specific risks posed by backyard and portable pools can save a life. Every pool, no matter how small or temporary, carries risk. A moment of inattention can have lifelong consequences. By raising awareness, promoting safer pool practices, and supporting families with practical guidance, Be Pool Safe aims to reduce preventable drownings and give children the safest possible start to life around water. Because when it comes to young children and pools — there are no second chances .

  • International Lifeguards

    International Lifeguards Button International Lifeguards Button Pool Lifeguard Licence Button Button Incoming Changes for Pool Lifeguard Become a Pool Lifeguard (Home Page) Lifeguarding techniques often differ between countries and organisations. That doesn’t mean that Lifeguards from overseas can’t work in Australia. It does however mean that they may need to go through a process to have their training recognised. Requirements to work in Australia as a Pool Lifeguard are centres around holding and maintaining a Pool Lifeguard Skillset, which is part of the Australian Qualifications Framework. International qualifications, including International Lifesaving Federation (ILS) certificates and those issued by RLS Commonwealth member organisations, e.g. RLS UK, RLS Canada, RLS South Africa, will be considered in determining eligibility and the likely requirements of undertaking the RPL assessment process. Overseas certificate may be recognised as a pathway to expedite the attainment of this skillset, but will likely result in further training and assessment, and/or course attendance. Enquiries are to be made to courses@royalnsw.com.au - Upon submission, please supply all current qualifications/documents. Please note: Royal Life Saving Society NSW is not a CRICOS Provider, therefore, we are unable to provide National Training to overseas students holding a Student Visa. International Lifeguards

  • Alcohol and Water Safety

    Alcohol and Water Safety Alcohol and Water Safety Safety Factsheet # 05 Overview Alcohol affects everyone differently. This means no amount of alcohol can be said to be safe for everyone. Even small amounts of alcohol can affect behaviour and ability, increasing the risk of drowning. Alcohol can heighten the risk of drowning because it: Impairs judgement. Alcohol distorts the perception of risk and one’s abilities Increases risk-taking behaviour. Alcohol removes inhibitions Reduces coordination. Alcohol numbs the senses, particularly sight, sound and touch leading to unsteadiness and inability to climb or swim making it hard to get out of trouble Impairs reaction time . Alcohol is a depressant, reducing the rate the brain processes information. In water emergencies, where response times are vital, it can prove the difference between life and death Hypothermia. In cold situations, the body will attempt to draw blood away from the limbs and to the vital organs to prevent heat loss. Alcohol, however, prevents this and therefore increases the chance of hypothermia Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limits in Boating BAC limits apply to: the driver – anyone steering or exercising control over a vessel's course or direction the observer in a vessel that's towing a person anyone being towed by a vessel. As the skipper, you must not let another person drive your vessel if you believe they're over the BAC legal limit or under the influence of illegal drugs. The BAC legal limit depends on your age and whether you're driving a recreational or commercial vessel. Aged under 18 (all vessels) 0.00 Aged 18 and over (recreational vessel) Under 0.05 Aged 18 and over (commercial vessel) Under 0.02 It's very difficult for you to estimate your own BAC, even if you know how many drinks you've had. Your size and weight, how tired you are, and variation in alcohol servings can all affect your BAC. The only way to be sure you're under the limit is to not drink alcohol at all. If you do intend to drink, it's recommended that you have a plan, such as a designated skipper to get you, your passengers and your vessel home. Random testing Police regularly monitor NSW waterways. They can stop you for random breath testing (RBT) and random drug testing (RDT) when your vessel is underway, including when it is drifting. If you're over the legal limit, police can give you a court attendance notice. If a court convicts you of an offence, your licence can be cancelled. It's recommended that you stay under the legal limit when moored, berthed or anchored, just in case you need to move your vessel. More information on alcohol and boating can be found in the Boating Handbook . How to stay safe Do not enter water or go swimming if alcohol has been consumed Participate in aquatic activities before drinking alcohol and do not re-enter the water afterwards Do not consume alcohol if you are supervising children Avoid aquatic activity alone Avoid aquatic activity at night Avoid aquatic activity in conditions or environments that are unfamiliar to you Downloadable Resources RLSNSW-22-414-Safety Know your limits and avoid taking risks DL Flyer .pdf Download PDF • 1.36MB Related Items Explore deeper into our campaign messages to learn more Slips, Trips and Falls Swimming Skills

  • Boating Safety

    Boating Safety Boating Safety Safety Factsheet # 03 As the skipper, you must keep a proper lookout – by sight and hearing – at all times. This helps you judge your situation and the risk of collision. This is essential to keeping everyone safe on the water. When keeping a proper lookout, look all around, including behind you. Look out for hazards so you can avoid colliding with people, other vessels, structures, land and animals. Look out for vulnerable groups, including swimmers and divers, and smaller vessels, such as sailboards and kayaks, which can be difficult to see. Be mindful of noise – such as loud music – that could prevent you from hearing sounds or signals from other vessels or people. Take extra care at times of restricted visibility, for example, at night (between sunset and sunrise) or in poor weather conditions. Make sure you're travelling at a safe speed. If you have a radar, use it to keep a lookout. Remember to dim the display at night so you do not lose your night vision. It's recommended that you have a lookout person. They can alert you if your view is blocked. Keep a proper lookout for the following: People in the water, including swimmers, snorkellers, spearfishers and divers. Make sure you keep a safe distance. Other vessels on the water. This includes small vessels, such as sailboards, kayaks and dinghies, and large vessels, such as ships and ferries. Structures, including bridges, jetties and overhead powerlines. Submerged hazards include sandbanks and sunken vessels. Fishing equipment – for example, oyster leases, traps and lobster pots – can also be hazards. Floating hazards, such as logs and debris. Take extra care at night, as these hazards are unlit. Animals in the water. When towing Keep a lookout when you're towing a person, for example, a water skier. Both the driver and the observer must keep a lookout. Before towing, it's recommended that you check the area for any hazards. These include floating debris, sandbars or snags. Take extra care on unfamiliar waterways or in areas that have recently flooded. Tips to stay safe: Always keep a safe distance from the shore, structures other craft and people in the water Look out for dive flags and keep your vessel at least 60 metres clear of divers If keeping a proper lookout gets hard or stressful, slow down and give yourself more time to see what is happening around you If you have other people on board, get them to help you keep a proper a lookout Be especially careful when in heavy boating traffic, darkness, poor visibility, near blind corners or when there are lots of people in the water.

  • Rips and Currents

    Rips and Currents Rips and Currents Safety Factsheet # 17 Rip currents are one of the greatest, and most common, hazards in Open waterways; such as rivers, estuaries and beaches. On average, rip currents are responsible for at least 45 drowning deaths in Australia each year. In addition, lifesaving organisations perform countless rescues each and every year to assist swimmers who have been caught in currents. Rivers, creeks and many other inland waterways are natural channels of water which normally flow towards the sea or other bodies of water such as lakes or reservoirs. Tributaries, which are supply channels to rivers, are smaller flows of water created from rainfall, surface run-off and ground water. There are several names given to tributary water flow, including streams, brooks and creeks. Estuaries are the tidal mouths of rivers (where rivers meet the sea) and these can create complex and dangerous currents. The often-murky water of estuaries is influenced by fresh river water, saline sea water and coastal conditions, including tide and wave motion. These influences contribute to one of the most prominent characteristics of estuaries, which is sedimentation of the waterbed. At low tide, the thick sediment is exposed. Estuaries can also flow against incoming waves at the estuarial mouth, causing a rip current (or in other words, a current travelling out to sea).

  • Drugs and Water Safety

    Drugs and Water Safety Drugs and Water Safety Safety Factsheet # 22 Using drugs while in and around water is dangerous as it can increase the risk of drowning. This includes both illegal drugs and prescription medication. Medication and drugs can cause drowsiness and impact a person’s alertness. They can impair judgment and distort the perception of risk. Some medications or illegal substances can also reduce the success of first aid and resuscitation. Drowning deaths involving medication and drugs occur in all locations, with rivers being the most common location. Rivers are often in rural and remote locations, so it can often take longer to raise the alarm and get help if something goes wrong. HOW TO STAY SAFE Drinking alcohol and taking drugs in, on or around water increase the risks of drowning. This can impact alertness and adversely affect your judgement. In addition, alcohol and drugs in your system reduce coordination and reaction time. If you have drunk alcohol or taken any drugs, avoid aquatic activity at night. If you are taking prescribed medicines: Consult your doctor before participating in aquatic activities to make sure it is safe to do so. Ask your doctor about what precautions you can take to swim and recreate in, on or around water safely. Remember to take the prescription as directed by your doctor Be aware of the side effects of any medication you are taking Be aware that any medication that you are taking might affect your ability to supervise others around the water Related Items Explore deeper into our campaign messages to learn more Physical Health and Medical Conditions
