Introducing Red & Yellow Day – Wednesday, March 4, 2026.

INTRODUCING A NEW NATIONAL DAY OF CELEBRATION

On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Surf Life Saving Australia will launch the very first Red & Yellow Day, a new nationwide celebration of Surf Life Saving and the thousands of volunteer surf lifesavers who keep our beaches safe. 

Workplaces and businesses across the country can play a powerful role in bringing the day to life, by engaging your teams, amplifying the message and helping to raise vital funds.

RED & YELLOW DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO:

• Improve public awareness of the vital work of Surf Life Saving and the thousands of volunteer surf lifesavers around the country.
• Increase fundraising to maintain and replace equipment, train volunteer surf lifesavers and deliver water safety education in communities.
• Inspire more Australians to get involved and support their local community. 

HOW CAN YOUR WORKPLACE GET INVOLVED?

• Encourage staff to wear red and yellow on Wednesday, March 4
• Host a morning tea, bake sale or sausage sizzle to raise funds 
• Purchase a Red & Yellow Day party pack or decorate your office space with red & yellow
• Utilise the office resources available via redandyel​low​day​.org​.au including posters, email signatures and virtual backgrounds (available online from mid-February) 
• Consider matching staff donations or setting a workplace fundraising goal
• Received a cash or cheque donation? If you would like these to count towards your online fundraising goal, we recommend banking the cash/​cheque yourself and using that money to make an online donation to the Red & Yellow Day Appeal or your fundraising page.
