DHL

DHL Australia has stood the test of time and is now a long term partner of Surf Life Saving.

DHL's distinctive logo, also red and yellow, is now visible on all Australian beaches, appearing on surf lifesaving patrol uniforms nationally and on all patrol tents in South Australia.

DHL's vision also extends to supporting lifesaving in the Asia Pacific region, with a focus on encouraging developing nations.

DHL commissioned a surf safety survey which found that males are more likely to ignore surf safety warnings than females. This valuable data has been used to improve the communication of surf safety messages to all user groups.
