Volunteering Information Monday to Friday

Uniform

You will be supplied with your uniform which you must wear on the volunteer day – a hat and long sleeved t-shirt. These will be sent to your internal post code (IPC). Please be aware that you are promoting sun safety and your clothing should reflect this. For example, wear long shorts/trousers.

We advise that you also:

• Take water with you
• Wear thongs/shoes as the sand may be hot
• Reapply yourself with sunscreen every hour
• Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes

On the day:

• You need to arrive at your nominated beach at 9.45am
• Make sure you are wearing your Suncorp hat and t-shirt supplied to you
• See the lifeguard on duty and collect sunscreen and Suncorp brochures
• 10am – start walking the beach offering sunscreen to the public. Click here for a script of what to say.
• Make sure you don’t make a nuisance of yourself by asking the people on the beach more than once (or twice depending on how long they have been there) if they would like sunscreen. Situate yourself somewhere where you can see people arriving onto the beach.
• You will need to keep track of when you arrived and how many people you sprayed sunscreen on as you will be sent an online survey asking you to record all of this information. This is a very important measurement tool and we are relying on you to feed back this information!
• Ensure you take quick breaks under shade, if possible and drink plenty of water
• 3pm – finish your shift and return unused sunscreen and brochures to the lifeguards.
• You are now free to enjoy the rest of your day on the beach!
