2024/25 REQUALS

An Online Requal Webinar will be held on Wednesday 23rd October 2024 at 7pm, for members to learn about the requal process, how to requal and ask questions. You can / register for / access the meeting here.

*Please check that your Requal has been processed prior to attending patrol. If you are unsure, check your awards on mt.lsv.com.au.

Some lifesaving awards – the emergency care awards – include additional Australian accredited healthcare qualifications (called Units of Competency) and require different processes to maintain proficiency & currency.

Some professions (including paid lifeguarding services) require these units to be up-to-date; normal requal sessions at the club DO NOT update these units.

The table below summarises these units, the relevant lifesaving award, and the update process required:

* NOTE: to maintain your ART Lifesaving Award, you must also complete your annual Skills Maintenance (process outlined above).

This season, LSV has introduced the Skills Maintenance App to assist Club Trainers & Administrators with the administrative requirements of requals.

With the app’s introduction, there are NO LONGER any physical / paper requal cards as part of the requal process.

For members, this means that:

• You MUST book into a Portsea requal session in advance, via the LSV Member Training Portal (mt.lsv.com.au). Failure will result in members being turned away & unable to requalify at that sessionmt.lsv.com.au
  • i.e. Members are no longer able to present “on the day” for requal sessions.
• You MUST complete ALL e-learning modules prior to attending your booked practical session. Failure will result in members’ awards not being requalified on the day.

Portsea is offering a range of days for members to complete their requals this season.

Each session is limited and places will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Instructions on how to enrol for skills maintenance can be found below. It is vital that you enrol via the LSV Member Training Portal in advance to secure a spot in your desired session.

Portsea SLSC’s Education Team WILL NOT BE ABLE to process requals for individuals outside of the specified Requal days.

If you cannot attend a Portsea SLSC requal day, you will be required to undertake your requal at a different club prior to December 31st if you wish to remain an active member.

^^See Bronze Medallion Sessions Below.

The majority of Portsea’s Bronze requals will occur on 08/12/2024. There will be multiple sessions / time slots that you will be able to choose from for your convenience. You only need to enrol for one session.
