Surf Life Saving WA is committed to being an inclusive organisation and to providing a safe environment for all who choose to participate in surf life saving activities.

All Abilities Inclusion
SLSWA endeavours to accommodate every member of the community, irrespective of any limiting or permanent disability. We encourage members with a disability to get involved in surf lifesaving activities and will support individuals to obtain qualifications.
Depending on their abilities, this can allow them to complete surf lifesaving patrols and to compete in surf sport activities if they choose to do so. Each case is individually considered based on the person’s abilities and circumstances.
Many of our WA clubs also offer our All Abilities Woodside Nippers program, for children aged 5 and above with diverse needs and abilities. Our All Abilities Nippers participate in the same activities as regular age group Nippers, adapted to the unique learning needs of its participants.
