2024/2025 Membership Renewal Information 

All membership renewal requirements are due by 5pm 1st September 2024.

Links to step by step instructions on how to request renewal of your membership are at the bottom of this page. It is absolutely essential that you please read all information on this page prior to processing your renewal of membership requests. The process is different to last year so please don’t go ahead with your renewal if you haven’t read everything below.

To view 2024/2025 Membership fees click here.

Point Leo SLSC Annual Membership Fees are non-refundable.

Please DO NOT pay your fees before you submit your renewal applications. Payment MUST be made at the end of the renewal submission through your members area account, NOT before.

Please note Renewal Memberships are for existing members only. No new members will be accepted until after the 1st September through a separate  ‘new members process’. Memberships for new Nipper families will be offered in late October only to those that have registered their interest to participate in JSLP. Please don’t send the link to this page to any non-members.

When paying the Family Discount Membership fee you do not need to pay the individual membership fee of $80 for any children U18 included in the family group. You must select the “Other -Included in Family Group” option for ALL family group members, not their individual membership option, so that their fee comes up as $0.00 (ie so that you don’t also pay $80 per Nipper as well as the family discount fee). However you must make sure to select the correct Family Discount fee amount relevant to the number of U18 children members.

We understand that it may be difficult for some members to meet the membership fee payment. Please don’t hesitate to email Kim at admin@pointleoslsc.com.au to confidentially discuss options if you find yourself in this situation.

Please complete all membership renewal requirements all together on the same day prior to 1st September 2024. A new process this year has been implemented whereby your membership renewals will NOT be submitted to the Club unless you pay your membership fees by debit or credit card at the end of the renewal process in your member online account. Paying membership fees by direct bank transfer is not available this year. You also can NOT pay the fees prior to submitting your renewal applications in your members area online account. It must be done as the last step in the renewal of membership process in your members area online account.

If you have any queries relating to your membership renewal or fees AFTER you have read ALL information on this page and on the links on this page please email Kim at admin@pointleoslsc.com.au (not LSV or SLSA).

Working with Children Check (WWCC)

Point Leo SLSC has a Working With Children Check Policy. Click here for a copy of this policy and information. Please read it carefully so that you clearly understand the Club’s requirements. If you feel that you are eligible to apply for membership without the requirement to hold a WWCC please email the club with your request to have the WWCC requirement waived.

Any member who has recently turned 18 or is about to turn 18 in the next 3 months should ensure they hold a valid WWCC before requesting their membership renewal. Their membership can’t be accepted until we receive an Assessment Notice from the Department of Community Services verifying they have been issued with a WWCC and that Point Leo SLSC is listed as a volunteer organisation on it.

Any member turning 18 throughout the year must apply for a Working with Children Check in the month prior to turning 18 in order for their membership to remain valid. Information to use on the application can be found in the Working with Children Check Policy.

All members 18 and over please check the expiry date of your WWCC and renew your WWCC NOW if it expires any time in the next 3 to 4 months.

If you have any questions regarding this policy please email admin@pointleoslsc.com.au

Car Pass Stickers

Once all membership renewal requirements have been completed and correct membership fees paid, a car pass sticker will be posted to eligible members who completed a minimum of 16 hours of patrol/water safety/service hours as per the Point Leo SLSC Patrol Hours Policy last season (2023/2024). If a new car pass sticker is not displayed on your car after 31st October 2024 you will be charged the foreshore entry fee at the gate.

Nipper Membership Renewals

Nippers renewing their memberships by 1st September 2024 are automatically registered in the Junior Surf Lifesaving Program (JSLP). You do not need to email and ask for your child to be enrolled in Nippers.  If a Nipper membership is not renewed by 1st September 2024 their place in the program will be offered to a child on the waiting list. Late renewals for Nippers won’t be accepted. If you miss renewing by the due date of 1st September you will need to register your child on the Nipper Registrations of Interest page (waiting list).

Please remember to include the compulsory Board and Equipment Levy fee of $45 per Nipper with your fee payment.

If you have any additional children wishing to join the club this year please email Kim at admin@pointleoslsc.com.au and include the date of birth and gender of your child. Instructions on how to proceed will then be sent to you.

Nipper session dates for the 2024/2025 season are available on the JSLP page of this website. Please check this page for the dates instead of emailing to ask for them.

Nipper Board and Equipment Levy

A compulsory Board and Equipment levy of $45 per nipper is payable each year. This levy allows us to continue to purchase and maintain the appropriate equipment required to allow maximum participation for our Nipper members.

Nipper Parent Membership Requirement

In order to deliver a safe, worthwhile and enjoyable Junior Surf Lifesaving Program (JSLP) the Club is reliant on the active involvement of parents in addition to that of other Club members. Over the years as the number of Junior participants has grown there have been increased requirements from a safety and risk management perspective (both on the beach and in administration/documentation), and the level of training and education required has become increasingly sophisticated. Therefore this requires not only more parent involvement, it also increasingly requires more parents with lifesaving qualifications.

To ensure that we have adequate parental involvement and to encourage and facilitate parents gaining lifesaving qualifications it is the expectation of the Club that all parents/caregivers/guardians of a Nipper become a member of the Club and that they all must have a valid WWCC as per the Point Leo SLSC WWCC Policy. In order to comply with child safe guidelines that ensure a safe environment for your children and our Nipper members, only parent/caregiver/guardian members will be able to actively assist in Junior Surf Lifesaving Program and Junior Surf Sports Program activities. We therefore encourage all of our Nipper parents/caregivers/guardians to become members of the Club. When joining an additional parent/caregiver/guardian to the family group the Family Discount Membership fee applies and should be selected (instead of the individual membership fees).

Online Parent Assistance Form

It is required that at least one of the parent/caregiver/guardian members must actively assist with the running of the program. To assist with the organisation of parent/caregiver/guardian helpers please complete the online Nipper Parent Assistance Form with your first three preferences of the areas where you would like to assist. Click here to complete the Online Parent assistance form or click the button in the left side menu. This is a compulsory requirement if you want your child to participate in the Junior Surf Lifesaving Program and Junior Surf Sports Program.

Please complete this form at the same time as you submit and pay for your renewal of membership. Unfortunately last year many parents/caregivers/guardians did not complete this form with their renewals and had to be emailed and requested to submit it creating unnecessary extra work for our volunteers.

Competition Fees

LSV are still finalising the entry fees, format and frequency of this year’s carnivals so we are unable to set our Junior or Senior season competition fees at the moment. As soon as we have the relevant information we will set the season fees and let you know the cost, the carnivals the season fee covers and when they are due.

Now that you have read all of this information please click on the relevant links below to renew your membership.

All members should already have a Members Area account to log into to renew their memberships. If not you must set one up at https://members.sls.com.au

You will receive an auto generated email from SLSA when your renewal has been requested and again when it has been processed. Please don’t reply to either of these emails. If you want to check if your renewal has been processed please log in to your Members Area account where you can see the Pending Request section on your dashboard. If this box is empty and your “Registered Season” is 2024 then your membership renewal has been processed and no further action is required from you. To check other family members click on the Memberships option in the top menu and select Family, then select View/Edit. 2024 will show in the season column if memberships have been renewed. As you have access to check that your own renewal is processed please don’t email the club to find out if it has been processed.

If after a week your membership is still pending please check your email (including SPAM/JUNK folder) as Kim will always send you an email within a week of receiving a renewal request if there is a problem and it can’t be processed. The email will detail what is needed for your renewal to be processed.
