Day to Day Responsibilities


During the New Zealand Life Saving Season Labour Day to April, Surf Life Saving Northern, through its support service, SurfCom, keeps in contact with the 17 surf clubs under its responsibility through radios or by telephone. The primary responsibility of SurfCom is to relay information between the surf life saving clubs and other rescue services.Also, every patrol fills in a form detailing local conditions and the type of patrol set up. This is relayed to SLSNR in order to allocate funding to individual clubs.. At the end of the patrol a follow-up report is sent off detailing the number of guards patrolling, the number of rescue vehicles used, and the number of rescues, first aids, searches and preventative actions. Other support services include lifeguards stationed on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter (New Zealand), and on jetskis.
