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.

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.
