Emergency Services AFL Match - Expressions of Interest
Life Saving Victoria (LSV) is thrilled to be participating in the 2022 Emergency Services AFL match. The match, organised by Hawthorn Football Club and now in its third year, is a celebration of the selfless work and commitment of the Victorian emergency services. It will support in raising vital funds for the Emergency Services Foundation, in addition to spreading awareness of the mental health issues that many in these fields experience.
The previous event held in 2019 saw a match day attendance of over 66,000, a national television audience of over two million and donations totalling $175,000, so it is a fantastic opportunity for LSV to come together with our emergency services colleagues and applaud the invaluable contributions of all emergency services personnel.

Remembering our fallen Lifesavers
Easter weekend marks three years since we lost Ross and Andrew Powell, who tragically lost their lives conducting a rescue mission at Port Campbell in April 2019. It continues to be a significant and painful loss that we feel each and every day.
In their memory, we again invite you to participate in a minute of silence at 12.30pm on Easter Monday, facing the water to remember them as we reflect on their lives and service. Three years on and our hearts still break, we send our thoughts to their families, the Port Campbell Surf Life Saving Club and community.
We will continue to honour them, and the service of all those who have lost their lives during lifesaving duty, keeping the community safe around water. Gone, but never forgotten.
One minute of silence
12.30pm Easter Monday
At your chosen club or beach
As we remember our lost colleagues and reflect on the inherent danger of our roles as first responders, we remind our members that support is available at any time by contacting LSV Comms.
