CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OUR GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE Since the early days of the surf lifesaving movement, we have evolved into a highly federated and geographically dispersed organisation, made up of 306 separately incorporated local surf life saving clubs, 17 regional branches (in NSW and Queensland), 45 support operations (regional rescue and response teams) and seven state and territory centres (see page 142 for full list). As there would otherwise be no meaningful report on the national contribution of the entire movement, the surf lifesaving, education, training and surf sports activities of our members are consolidated in this report (See Section 4). However, as the various separate entities are not subsidiaries of SLSA Ltd and have a variety of legal and reporting structures, their fi nancial results are not consolidated here. We (Surf Life Saving Australia Ltd) are the ‘peak’ policy and decision making body for the movement. Under our Constitution, our members are: • State centres, represented by their state directors who have the right to be present, debate and vote at our general meetings. • Affi liated clubs, representatives of which have the right to be present and to debate on behalf of their club at general meetings, but with no voting rights. • Life Members (see page 104), who have the right to be present and to debate at general meetings, but with no voting rights. • All individual members of affi liated clubs, who shall have the right to be present at SLSA general meetings, but with no voting or debating rights. Individual members sign an application for joint membership of SLSA and their club each year prior to the commencement of the season. (Where the members are less than 18 year of age, the membership form is sign by a parent or legal guardian.) This detailed form meets a number of legal requirements, including indemnifi cation of SLSA in the event of any claim arising from a surf lifesaving activity, as well as outlining a member’s individual liability in the unlikely event of wind-up. We also operate a number of subsidiary companies to provide helicopter and fi xed wing rescue services in NSW (see page 37) with services operated in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia by their respective state centres. We are a foundation member of the International Life Saving Federation (ILS), through which we maintain contact with other ‘lifesaving nations’ and play a leadership role in developing lifesaving expertise around the globe.
