1 LIFE SAVING VICTORIA STRATEGIC PLAN #LSV2020

2 INTRODUCTION Life Saving Victoria (LSV) is introducing new water safety and drowning prevention initiatives, while preserving our proud history and traditions of more than 100 years of lifesaving. Established in 2002 as an initiative of the Royal Life Saving Society Australia - Victoria Branch (est. 1904) and Surf Life Saving Victoria (est. 1947), LSV has brought these two organisations together to work as one voice for water safety at a state level. As a result of this, LSV is recognised by the Victorian Government as an agency that plays a role in delivering Emergency Management Victoria s strategic action plan. As at July 2016, we have 32,000 volunteer members and employ more than 300 staff. Together, we work with communities, educational institutions, government agencies, businesses and the broader aquatic industry, to achieve our vision and mission. Our strategic plan focuses on water safety and drowning prevention initiatives that foster resilience in our communities, while encouraging active participation in aquatic recreation. It takes into account changes in the way we live, work, volunteer and enjoy leisure time. The strategies and projects are designed to be responsive to these evolving needs and trends. As a quick overview of this document, the Strategic Plan on a Page (see opposite page) provides a high level summary of our plan. Subsequent sections provide greater detail about us, our considerations in developing the plan, our areas of focus, strategies and examples of the related projects. Please enjoy perusing this Strategic Plan. We look forward to working with you to meet the challenges ahead. Together we can continue to provide a high class example of water safety promotion and drowning prevention. Nigel Taylor ESM CEO #tags You will see #tags throughout this report.

7 LOWERING THE DROWNING TOLL Currently, the 10-year average for fatal drowning in Victoria is 38 deaths per year, a rate of 0.69 fatal drowning deaths per 100,000 population. When comparing the baseline average ( ) to the follow-up average ( ) the drowning rate (per 100,000 population) in Victoria has decreased by 11 per cent (0.82 to 0.73). However more work is required to continue to reduce the drowning rate. Our key priorities for drowning reduction are: Children aged 0-4 years; Adults aged 65 years and over; and Coastal drowning incidents.

9 OUR FOCUS ON... GOVERNANCE LSV has a governance charter that sets out the codes of conduct, accountability, ethical standards and compliance obligations of our organisation and related entities. The charter outlines the roles and respective responsibilities of the Board, committees, directors and executive management. Our ongoing groups tasked with governance include the Board, the Governance Committee, the Finance Risk & Audit Committee, four lifesaving councils, the Honours & Awards Committee, the Facilities Development Committee, and the Grievance & Judiciary Review Committee. There are also working groups such as the Medical Advisory Panel that convene as required. Our governance groups are able to draw on the diverse talent of committed volunteers who are subject matter experts in areas including lifesaving, accounting and finance, engineering and construction, education and training, law, technology, healthcare and medicine, trades and services, sports and recreation, human resources, entrepreneurship, retail, media and communications, logistics and government. Our business operations include an executive management structure comparable to a medium size business. MANAGING RISK Risk is inherent in all of our activities and manifests itself in many forms as LSV steps forward in achieving our mission and vision. It has potential to impact our volunteers, employees, supporters, suppliers and the broader communities in which we operate. By understanding and managing risk, LSV can provide greater certainty and confidence to all that are impacted by our activities. The directors and management of LSV and our affiliated entities view risk management as integral to our Strategic Plan. In particular, there is collective recognition that effective risk management can lead to better decision making and planning, as well as better identification and management of opportunities and threats. In practice, risk management is incorporated into all strategic and operational endeavours within LSV. Risks will be identified, assessed, managed and monitored in accordance with our Risk Management Framework. EVIDENCE AND EVALUATION Research, monitoring and evaluation is critical in ensuring an evidence base for all LSV activities and the wider aquatic industry and community. Rigorous research, monitoring and evaluation ensures LSV s focus on the most appropriate and effective strategies to maximise aquatic participation and engagement, with an overarching focus on safety and risk management. LSV s commitment to research, monitoring and evaluation is demonstrated by the dedicated Aquatic Risk & Research team, which conducts and coordinates rigorous research projects. The team is continually working to improve the evidence base of LSV programs, training, member development, sport and diversity in lifesaving. Monitoring and evaluation is critical in assessing program effectiveness and for continuous improvement in aquatic program delivery. The Aquatic Risk & Research team has a strong focus on collaboration and partnership, working with academia, government, industry and the community to ensure applicability and the ability to implement the most appropriate preventative strategies.
