1545 Skin Checks: An impressive number of individuals prioritized their health by participating in thorough skin checks.
1709 Suspect Spots Found: Vigilance paid off as a substantial number of potentially harmful spots were identified and brought to attention.
25 Melanoma Cases Detected: Early detection is the key to successful treatment, and this event played a crucial role in identifying and addressing melanoma cases promptly.

#WOMENINPOWERCRAFT
Bondi Surf Club is very excited to be hosting the SLSA Powercraft Training for Women in Lifesaving program.
For several years there has been a shortage of IRB Crew and Drivers within the SLSA membership, and many solutions and suggestions have been offered to alleviate this. There is also a significant underrepresentation of women who
hold these Powercraft awards (see below table).
We are looking for females aged 15 to 20 years to do their IRB Crew award in a specifically designed, women only training course, supported by SLSA.
The power of women training together is huge, and participants will be part of a supportive group of like-minded members who will assist each other through the course and become champions for each other ongoing.
If you are Proficient in your Bronze Medallion, female, 15 – 20 years and willing to dedicate yourself fully to the Program for the duration please fill in the form
