Background
Every aquatic facility is unique, with different design features, community needs, and operational challenges. Over time, even well-run venues can develop gaps between day-to-day practice and the latest industry standards. A safety assessment provides an external perspective that highlights opportunities for continuous improvement while recognising the strengths of your existing systems.

Service Overview
Royal Life Saving’s Aquatic Facility Safety Assessments provide a comprehensive review of your facility’s operations, infrastructure, and safety practices. Conducted by experienced industry professionals, these assessments benchmark facilities against legislation, the Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations (GSPO), and recognised best practice. Each assessment is tailored to reflect the size, function, and community use of the facility, ensuring practical outcomes.
Our approach covers all aspects of safe operation, from supervision systems and emergency preparedness through to plant room operations and customer safety messaging. Facilities receive a clear report that identifies strengths, highlights risks, and provides recommendations to improve safety culture and compliance.
