How to become an initial member at Shellharbour
 SLSC

 

 

PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE AND CONSTANTLY REFER TO IT AS YOU COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS.  FOLLOW IT EXACTLY!

 

If you have never been a member of any surf club start at
Step 1 below.

 

If you have been a member of another surf club (even if it was years ago) the first thing you must do before attempting online registration is send me an email so that I can do an online club transfer. If this is not done you will not be able to register online, or you will create 2 accounts causing major problems to rectify. Wait for a reply confirming that a transfer has been initiated. This transfer may take a few days or a week to be processed by your former club, and finally approved by Branch.  DO NOT attempt online registration. Click on the following link giving me the exact name, date of birth, and former Surf Club and wait for a reply. I will remain in contact and keep you informed of your transfer status michaelflood@exemail.com.au

 

1.    Log onto the link below but keep reading this guide and follow it EXACTLY:LifeSaving_Online

 

a)    Look at the top of the page and click on ‘Create Account’

b)    Read and click ‘No’

c)    Click on Apply to join a surf club

d)    Select State: Surf Life Saving NSW

     Branch (optional): South Coast Branch (NSW)

     Club/Organisation: Shellharbour

 

e)    Enter your name and date of birth accurately. Select whether you want to be verified by email or mobile. If you select email they will send you a link that you click on that will allow you to enter the site with your username and password. If you select mobile you will be sent a confirmation code that needs to be entered into the website with your username and password. For your username I suggest you use your first and last name without any gap, all in lower case, i.e.  johnbrown. For your password you can use the same one for every family member. Your password must be 6-12 characters in length, and must contain at least one letter and at least one number.

f)      Enter the mobile code or click on the email link that was sent to you.

g)    Now that you have logged on just read and follow the instructions. The difficult part is over.

h)    Please take your time to enter all your details correctly, otherwise we will have to contact you when we attempt to accept your ‘pending’ request. You will not have to do this again unless you change any details like email address or mobile phone. Please enter an email address and mobile phone number to allow the club to contact you. Verification of any Carnival entries and information will be sent to the competitor’s email, not the parent or guardian. If you enter the same mobile number or email address for several family members the system recognises this when sending out messages and you will only receive it once.

i)      The shirt and short size drop down box is for patrolling members. This is required so that correct numbers and sizing of uniforms are allotted by State SLSC when we get new uniforms. For children under the age of 18 there are 2 boxes at the bottom of the page for a parent/guardian to enter their first and last name. There are also 2 boxes to tick to acknowledge you have read and agree to this application and declaration.

j)     When you have checked all your details click ‘Submit’ at the bottom of the page. The page will now say:

Pending Requests

 

Your request has been recorded in the system and is pending approval.

If the page does not say this scroll back up and see what you      have missed. Check that you have ticked the boxes at the bottom. You must persevere until you see this page otherwise you have not registered.

 

Repeat this process for each family member. As suggested above it may be easier to use the same ONE password for all of your family members. Write these details down somewhere as you will need these whenever you want to log on to update your details or renew your membership next season.

 

If you have followed this guide exactly and have still had a problem call the HELPDESK on 1300 724 006 between 8am and 5pm Mon-Fri and explain to them the issue you are having. If it is an answering machine ring back until you speak to a person to help.

 

Your request for registration will stay ‘pending’ until you address the following:

 

1.             You have paid your membership fees at the Surf Club available on every Sunday morning from the first day of Nippers from 9am-10.30am
