SE QLD Water Safety Forum
The SE QLD Water Safety Forum brought together more than 120 stakeholders with an interest in collaborating towards a drowning prevention plan for the region and those with an interest in best practice in aquatic facility safety management.

Forum attendeesOn Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th May, 2023, more than 120 delegates from over 45 organisations met together to develop a collective water safety strategy for the South East Queensland region.

The forum, facilitated by Royal Life Saving Society - Australia and co-hosted by the Royal Life Saving Society - Queensland and the City of Gold Coast, came about as a result of Royal Life Saving research which found that 366 people had drowned in the region in the last 10 years, making the region a drowning blackspot region.

The drowning report and strategy are available below.
