Royal Life Saving Australia has been honoured with three silver Australian Sport Awards this month, with Victoria-based Barbara Morgan winning Official of the Year, Western Australia’s Greg McLennan named Sport Volunteer of the Year and Betty Sullivan from the Northern Territory rewarded with the Community Leader of the Year Award.

Shayne Baker, National President of Royal Life Saving, said: “For everyone involved in The Royal Life Saving Society Australia, it is an enormous thrill for some of our wonderfully dedicated members and employees to receive such esteemed national recognition for all their efforts.

“For over 115 years, Royal Life Saving has been dedicated to turning everyday Australians nationwide into everyday community lifesavers.

“The announcement provides a perfect example of how successful Royal Life Saving has become in promoting a healthy, active lifestyle and maximizing the use of our important local facilities.” Details: www.australiansportawards.com
