AUSTRALIAN SURF LIFE SAVING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Statement of Works
CommandPost® has been engaged across multiple years, for the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, to underpin the event’s safety and risk framework. The solution provided a real-time operational view of all competition zones and support areas – enabling situational awareness, streamlined communication, and defensible records of decision-making.
This event is one of the largest participation sporting events in the Southern Hemisphere, only comparable in scale to the Commonwealth Games. With more than 7,000 competitors from over 220 clubs nationwide.
The solution provided safety officers with a shared operating picture, enabling proactive decision-making and streamlined communication across multiple stakeholders. This included seamless digital completion of compliance-related inspection forms, efficient tasking of operational requirements, and the ability to interface with key stakeholders.
Through desktop and mobile accessibility, CommandPost® enabled event organisers to track and escalate incidents, log and manage risks, and maintain a comprehensive audit trail of all activities. This enhanced visibility ensured that teams could swiftly respond to emerging issues, uphold compliance standards, and deliver a coordinated response in line with established safety protocols.
A key feature of CommandPost®’s implementation was the facilitation of real-time reporting and incident tracking, allowing event coordinators to manage safety concerns efficiently and effectively. By leveraging digital workflows and automated notifications, the solution improved response times, enhanced accountability, and provided a structured approach to risk management throughout the championships.
The integration of CommandPost® with the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships has reinforced the importance of technology-driven solutions in large-scale event management. We look forward to our continued collaboration with Surf Life Saving Australia to further strengthen safety measures, improve operational workflows, and support the enduring legacy of this iconic event.
