Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—Sunday 27 April marked the end of the official surf lifesaving season. I want to offer a heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteer lifesavers for your dedication, time, and courage. Your service keeps our beaches safer and our communities stronger. Enjoying a swim at the beach is a way of life for so many Australians, especially in the Charlestown electorate. Without the work of those lifesavers, and the countless people supporting them from the sidelines, it just wouldn't be possible. My thanks to the many trainers, assessors, facilitators, rescue services team members, call out team members, coaches, officials and every volunteer who showed up to keep beaches around my local area and across NSW safe—with a special thank you to those who live in the Charlestown electorate. As we head into the cooler months, it is important remember that beach safety is important year-round, always check conditions before entering the water, never swim alone, stick to patrolled areas when possible, and stay on the safe side If you're unsure. We can all do our part to stay safe at the beach and support our surf life savers.
