Stay Safe this Summer
Surf Life Saving's 2008 National Coastal Safety Report, supported by Westpac, has revealed some alarming trends relating to coastal drowning deaths. In response, Westpac is running a national campaign to remind Australians of the need to be surf safe and to swim between the flags at all times.

Surf Safety Campaign
Westpac's Surf Safety campaign, spearheaded by Olympic champion Grant Hackett, launches on 30th November and runs throughout the summer.

The campaign comprises of a surf safety DVD hosted by Grant Hackett which will be screened in branches nationally; surf safety wallet cards which include instructions for resuscitation and how to spot rips will be available free of charge from Westpac branches; surf safety messages will be printed on Westpac statement envelopes, ATM receipts and feature across various other materials within branches.

The Westpac Surf Safety Campaign complements a thirty five year partnership between Westpac and Surf Life Saving Australia and demonstrates Westpac's ongoing commitment to help save Australian lives.
