Join us for the 2026 Coastal Safety Group conference.

The Coastal Safety Group believes that life is better on the coast. We know that the water is dangerous and that Councils are responsible for coastal water safety. We believe we can do this best by working together.

Join us for the 2026 Coastal Safety Group Conference, where we will focus on risk-based practice in pursuit of world-class water safety services. The conference will run over two days as we head west for the first time. Day one will be held at Penrith Panthers and will explore the legal liability held by land managers, along with a range of practical risk-mitigation options. On day two we will head to the water at Penrith Whitewater Stadium for a day of joint training. Senior lifeguards will have the opportunity to cross-train in swiftwater rescue techniques while also supporting the development of practical community survival skills.
