- Informing policies and programs that support and grow the workforce
The survey is completely anonymous, but participants who choose to leave their name and email will go into the draw to win one of 20 x $150 Prezzee e-gift vouchers.
Survey closes: Monday, 7 April 2025
Winners contacted by email: By 5 May 2025
Background
The survey builds on the 2019 and 2022 editions, which contributed to key industry publications such as the National Aquatic Workforce Report 2023 and the National Aquatic Workforce Framework. These resources have been instrumental in raising the profile of the industry and advocating for its workforce.
Shaun Jackson, National Manager - Training and Workforce Development at Royal Life Saving Australia has said:
‘We’ve seen the positive impact the survey reports and the Framework have had in helping our industry to better tell its story over several years now. It has really made a difference, and we are very grateful to every individual and organisation for their support.’
This year’s survey aims to capture how the industry is evolving in response to changing community needs and behaviours, workforce trends, and advancements in technology. The findings will be compiled into a comprehensive report to inform future strategies and workforce development initiatives.
"We encourage you to jump on board again," Mr Jackson said, "and take a few moments to share who you are, what you do and why. Your input is as vital as ever in a rapidly changing industry landscape. And don’t forget to leave your contact details to win a gift card.
