Qantas Partners with Surf Life Saving Australia to Promote Beach Safety

Qantas has announced an exciting four-year partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA), aimed at reducing preventable drownings and enhancing water safety across the country. This initiative highlights Qantas's commitment to community welfare and the importance of keeping Australian beaches safe.

Key Initiatives of the Partnership
1. Beach Passport

A major highlight of the partnership is the launch of the Beach Passport, an online water safety training tool. This free course is accessible to all Australians and visitors via beachpassport.org.au.

  • Duration: Just 10 minutes to complete.
  • Purpose: Provides essential water safety knowledge to help beachgoers stay safe in and around the water.
2. Earn Qantas Points for Completing the Course

As an added incentive, Qantas is rewarding participants who complete the Beach Passport with 150 Qantas Points. This offer is available until 30 April 2025.

  • Additional Prize Draw: Completing the course also gives participants the chance to enter a draw to win a grand prize of 1 million Qantas Points.
3. National Safety Campaign: "Stop. Look. Stay Alive."

The partnership is further supported by the "Stop. Look. Stay Alive." campaign, featuring Australian actor and former surf lifesaver Angus Sampson. This initiative emphasizes the importance of water safety, particularly targeting groups like men, who are disproportionately represented in drowning statistics.

Why It Matters

This partnership is a meaningful step towards fostering safer beaches for both Australians and visitors. With over 300 lives lost in Australian waters each year, these combined efforts by Qantas and SLSA aim to make a tangible difference through education and incentives.

For more details and to participate in the Beach Passport program, visit beachpassport.org.au.

Stay safe, earn points, and help save lives at the beach!

    I'd love to see how many of them are Asian. But we're not allowed to talk about that…

      If what you mean is that tourists or migrants who didn't grow up near a public pool or beach and the benefit of swimming lessons are more likely to drown, then sure I imagine it's aimed at them.. but if you actually just mean "Asians" then yes that's racist dude

      • 1st-Amendment on 21/11/2024 - 22:19

        If what you mean is

        I think you missed my point. If it's racist to call out high risk races - for whatever the reason that they end up over-represented in stats, why is it not sexist to call out high risk sexes for the exact same reasons? Consistency or rather hypocrisy, that is the point here…

    "swim between the red-yellow flags" - that's all you need to know.

    Also the colour scheme honestly sucks. Why not green, which is universal?

    • Lovemybargains on 21/11/2024 - 13:58

      Red and yellow is now universally recognised as a lifesaving standard. Initally introduced 1935 in Australian beaches. These colors were chosen to be highly visible and easily recognizable, ensuring that beachgoers could quickly identify safe swimming zones. The red and yellow caps, which became standard for all surf lifesavers in 1939, further reinforced this visual identity.

      • smartProverble on 21/11/2024 - 15:51

        Red and yellow is now universally recognised as a lifesaving standard.

        It is universally recognised in Australia, IF they have learned. There's a reason why most of those drowning on beaches are tourists, they think Red means "No", as in "Not here".

        Traffic lights are ACTUALLY universal unless they live in a cave.

          Actually the reason most drowings are tourist are because we have an ok level of swim education in Australia. Overseas, many countries do not value swimming lessons as a priority.
          I volunteer as a surf lifesaver and Ye
          s we profile because there is such a large % of drowning identified by certain demographics. We want everyone to enjoy a day at the beach and go home at the end of the day

  • pulpfiction on 21/11/2024 - 13:25

    As someone who can swim well and grew up as a regular beach goer, is there any knowledge to be gained?

    • cook99 on 21/11/2024 - 14:30

      Yes, knowledge in filling out a survey can gain yourself 150 QFF points.

        Haha, based on my valuation of 1.1c per point, I might give this a miss!

    'beach passport'

    I'm imagining the nanny state government devising a scheme to not allow people on beaches without a 'beach passport'

      Not too hard to imagine. If any country in the world was going to pull a stunt like that it would 'Straya, where everything is either banned or mandatory and we have more asinine rules/regulations to follow than a medieval Spanish Inquisitor's heresy handbook.

    All Eligible Entrants will be awarded 150 Qantas Points. The Qantas Frequent Flyer members' full legal name must match the name registered on their Qantas Frequent Flyer account. Qantas Points will be fulfilled within 8 weeks post entry into the competition.

    @beatthatflight can you add the timeline for receiving the points to the original post?

    It was not hard, learnt lots and now i have my beach passport. They should get every Primary School and Highschool in Australia to complete this.
