Membership - Get Involved

On this page you will find information about joining Wye River SLSC and renewing your membership.

 

Membership renewals and fees are due and payable from 1 October 2024. Please refer to the "Membership Renewal" or "New Members" tab on the left of this page for an explanation of the membership process using the Surf Lifesaving Australia Members Area.  Provided you have already created an account this year membership renewal is a two step process which involves first checking and renewing your member details and then making the appropriate fee payment. Family members should also create a Family Group.
