Aim of the Platinum Pool Program
The Royal Life Saving Aquatic Facility Safety Endorsement program has been introduced to highlight aquatic facilities achieving the highest standards in aquatic safety and risk management, with accreditation recognised as a sign of excellence within the National Aquatic Industry.
The program involves completion of a combination of assessment processes every 12 months.
Stakeholders including facility patrons, rate payers and local Councils are able to identify a facility as having an emphasis on safety by its achievement of an Endorsement.
The overarching objective of the program from an Aquatic Facility’s perspective is to get a Platinum Endorsement by Royal Life Saving which demonstrates a continuing exemplary standard of safety management within the aquatic facility.
