November 10, 2011
Gippsland surf lifesaving clubs are part of a nation-wide service which saves Australia more than $3 billion per year, according to Federal MP Darren Chester.
The Member for Gippsland has welcomed the release of a Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) report which highlighted the importance of surf lifesaving to coastal communities and the wider public.
The report valued the drowning and injury prevention efforts of Australia’s 300 surf life saving clubs at $3.6 billion.
