Beach Ocean Safe Program (BOS)
Program Overview
This program is designed for individuals who are unsure how to stay safe on Australia's beautiful beaches.
To truly enjoy the Australian lifestyle, embracing beach culture is a highlight, but it also comes with its dangers. This program offers an opportunity for those who did not grow up in Australia to learn how to stay safe on the beach and in the water.
