Royal Life Saving NSW is proud to share that we have received $279,900 in ClubGRANTS funding for the 2025/26 year, supporting programs that will reach over 11,000 participants across New South Wales. This funding plays a vital role in saving lives and promoting water safety in our communities.

Lifesaving Impact Across NSW

Thanks to this generous support, we’re delivering a diverse range of programs focused on swimming, water safety education, lifesaving skills, and community transport, with a strong focus on inclusion and accessibility for all ages and backgrounds.

Funded projects for 2025/26 include:

• Community Pulse - CPR training for seniors and CALD communities

• Youth Lifesaver Project - First aid accreditation for high school students

• Preschool Water Safety - Water safety education for children aged 3-5

• Primary Water Safety Education - Tailored programs for Kindergarten to Year 6

These programs help us reach people who may not otherwise have access to aquatic education, building safer, more resilient communities across NSW.
