Membership Fees and Entitlements
FREE: Honorary Membership for Children Aged 0-7 when registered with a parent. They will then be able to purchase limited merchandise!
17 years old and interacting with minors you are required to obtain a Working With Children’s Check. Please see our Documents and Policies for more information.
We do not want anyone to miss out on the opportunity of being a member of a community organisation because of financial constraints. For this reason, we have implemented a Financial Assistance Policy.
* A Reserve Active Member is a member who has completed 8 years of patrol services (16+ hours) or by permission from the Club Captain. They are required to attend 1 patrol a season on Australia Day and should be available to help (as are all members on RVSC day).
** A Long Service Member has satisfied the requirements of a Reserve Active Member but has been granted permission from the Club Captain to not patrol as required.
For these membership categories - complete and return the RA/LS Application.
*** Social Members are encouraged to attend club events and support the club. They are not able to attend patrols or assist with instructing camps.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to create an account?
Yes, we have moved to a new membership management system, so you will need to create a new account on this system to renew your membership. You will only need to create one account to sign up a whole family though.
How do I sign up a family membership?
To sign up as a family, you will need to add each member separately. As you add additional members, the system will automatically cap the price at $350.00.
How do I add extra members?
When you’ve reached the payment section of the application, there’s a link stating “Register another person”. Please ensure you click this rather than continuing on to payment if you have to add additional members.
What if I miss the “add another family member” button and make a payment?
Don’t worry, you can still add additional members to a family membership as a second application (you don’t need to add a first family member to that application). Please notify the office if this is the case so that they are aware the members are spread over different applications.
Why can I only see myself/one person?
You will need to add any additional members when lodging the application. As this is a new membership management system, previously linked families are not yet added so you will need to add a new member for each person.
I’m having trouble creating/accessing my account
If you are having any issues with creating an account, or other issues with adding members, please contact the office to have them resolve the issue.
Additional Steps:
It is compulsory that all members aged 17 years and older obtain a Working With Children’s Check - this includes Nipper Parent Volunteers. For more information, see our Documents and Policies.

PATROL MEMBERS - NEXT STEPS:
We are changing the way we do patrols at PLSLSC in season 2022/23. Under this new pilot, members will be expected to pre-register for patrols on dates that suit them (rather than being rostered to attend patrols) and must complete at least 20 hours of patrols
IMPORTANT: Parents should encourage their children to take ownership of their own patrol attendance. We ask parents to tell their children to read the relevant information below and register for themselves for patrols.
Visit https://www.plslsc.com.au/patrol-information and read the relevant information relating to the changes to patrols for season 22/22.
