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.
