Social Media Policy
Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) recognises the benefits of social media as an important tool of engagement and enrichment for its members.
SLSA, its state centres, branches and clubs have long histories and are highly respected organisations. It is important that Surf Life Saving’s reputation is not tarnished by anyone using social media tools inappropriately, particularly in relation to any content that might reference the organisation.
When someone clearly identifies their association with Surf Life Saving (SLS), and/or discusses their involvement in the organisation in this type of forum, they are expected to behave and express themselves appropriately, and in ways that are consistent with SLSA’s stated values and policies.
Comments on SLS social media channels must not contain, or link to, libellous, defamatory or harassing content. They must not include information that is confidential or in any way sensitive to SLSA, its affiliates, partners or sponsors; and must not bring the organisation or surf lifesaving into disrepute. Comments that do not adhere to these guidelines will be deleted by the moderator.
Any images of surf lifesavers may only be published with the permission of the individual. Images of minor children may not be replicated on any site without the written permission of the child’s parent and/or guardian.
