Step 1. Register Your Family with Surf Life Saving Australia
If you are new, or it's been a few years, start by creating an account with Surf Life Saving Australia. Choose the first option (Surf Life Saving Club) and follow the steps to select Hampton and My Family, then register each family member age 5+. Any members under age 15 require family memberships that include at least one adult member.

​

If you need help, refer to this how-to guide. Or email membership@hlsc.org.au and we'll walk you through it!

Step 2. Pay Membership Fees for Your Family and Each Nipper
Once you have added all family members, go to the SLSA payment page. Sign up for the regular family membership, plus a nipper membership for each participating nipper. (Membership fees will appear below when determined for 2020-2021.)

​

PLEASE NOTE: When paying, add a description for each line that will help our volunteers understand your payment and recognize your participants, such as "Smith Family, 2 nippers, Eva and Max"

​​

Once your payment has been made, you will receive a confirmation email, HLSC will be notified and we will reach out to you.
 

Step 3. Get a Working with Children Check
All members 18+ must hold a valid WWCC card, even if you are a member of traditionally exempt group such as police officers and teachers. Visit the Victoria WWCC site to get a card, or to add Hampton Life Saving Club and Life Saving Victoria to your existing account.

You'll need these addresses to add HLSC and LSV to your MyCheck account:

Hampton Life Saving Club, PO Box 1124, Hampton North, 3188

Life Saving Victoria, 200 The Boulevard, Port Melbourne, 3207

 

Step 4. Join Team App
Critical communications (such as last-minute weather-related cancellations) and schedules are sent via Team App, and you'll be able to order and pay for your required high-vis rashies here. Download the app or create an account online (or do both!) Add yourself to all relevant access groups, such as your children's Nipper groups, the Nipper parent group, patrols, etc. Make sure notifications are turned on.

​​

Step 5. Send Proof of Age for Each Nipper and Your WWCC

If you are registering for the Nippers program, once payment is made, please email proof of age for each new nipper as well as a copy of your WWCC to membership@hlsc.org.au.

 

Step 6: Complete the Nipper Registration Form

Please confirm your child's age, swimming ability and parent helper information on the Nipper Registration Form.
