Membership and Registration
Surf Lifesaving is the largest volunteer movement of its kind in Australia.
At Port Sorell Surf Life Saving Club, our members play an important role in keeping our beaches safe while building a strong and connected community. Whether you are looking to patrol, support Nippers, assist with events, compete in surf sports or simply become involved around the club, there is a place for everyone.
Membership provides opportunities to develop valuable lifesaving skills, leadership, fitness and lifelong friendships while giving back to the local community. We welcome members of all ages and experience levels and encourage families, individuals and supporters to get involved.
By joining our club, you become part of a proud volunteer organisation dedicated to safety, community and the Australian beach lifestyle.
