Beaches from Rainbow Bay to Tallebudgera were patrolled by all-female teams on Sunday, 7 March, in Surf Lifesaving Queensland’s effort to raise awareness on International Women’s Day. 

Each member of the team, from First Aid Officers to Inflatable Rescue Boat Drivers to Operation Support Roles, were women. 

The initiative was led by Claudia Fien, an entrant in Surf Life Saving Queensland’s 2021 Surf Woman of the Year program.
