Surf Life Saving Australia + QF partnership - points earning opportunity

[RB001]

Done the questions but no points yet, though I have a mysterious 2,000 points credited to my account!

Based on the early completions, they run out the full ...up to 8 weeks...

When did you complete it?

I was brought up in a shore environment, mostly rocks but a bit of beach, so I am fully appreciative of what surf life saving does, also the coast guard. They do a great job.

Last Friday 11/04/2025. Not a great deal of points, but welcome all the same. I completely used my points on my next OS trip.

Based on that, you should get them pretty close to June 6th.

Thank you. I have just completed the course and got my "beach passport". I agree with others that the video or something similar should be shown on all Qantas flights coming into Australia.

Many years ago I was showing some UK friends around WA when we came across a lovely looking (unpatrolled) beach, where one of my friends really wanted to go for a swim. Looking at the water, there was something about it that made me feel very uneasy - a really bad gut feeling!
I managed to convince my friend not to go for a swim and we went on our way. Tragically, just a week later, some tourists drowned at that exact spot.

Having watched the video on the rips as part of the beach passport, I feel more confident in being able to actually define and hopefully identify a rip so that I can rely on a bit more than a gut feeling if I ever face a similar situation again.
