Patrolling is an excellent way to meet new people while enhancing your lifesaving skills and providing a service to the community. 

The Club signs a Patrol Agreement with Surf Life Saving Queensland  and North Queensland Branch to provide beach patrols from April to November each year.  Active members will be allocated a patrol and are expected to undertake their rostered duties as required for the patrol. The reason the club exists is to ensure that the public have a safe marine environment as Ellis Beach.

The Club cannot compete in Surf Carnivals, including Junior Carnivals, if it does not fulfill it’s obligations under its Patrol Agreement.  Members seeking to rejoin and new members must understand that the purpose of the Surf Life Saving movement is to provide community service to our beaches.
