Surf Life Saving Queensland's lifesaving services are provided through a network of volunteer lifesavers, professional Lifeguards, Operations Support, Beach Management systems, and Community Education activities. All lifesaving personnel are trained in various rescue techniques prior to performing patrol services.

They are then capable of utilising the rescue equipment and skills obtained through the awards to assist beach users, should emergency situations occur.
