REGISTRATION & ARRIVALEveryone attending the event must be registered via Humanitix. This can be completed on the day if necessary, however pre-registration is recommended! Once you arrive at the event, please head to a registration tent to check in. Even if you have registered, we still need to check you off on the day and this is compulsory for each event.

WORKING WITH CHILDREND'S CHECKSWorking with Children Checks are strongly encouraged for all volunteers and carers over 18 years old, more information is available here. Please email secretary-perth@disabledsurfers.org to pick up a pre-filled application form. Working with Children Check applications cost ~$11 for volunteers. If you already have a valid WA Working with Children Check, please email a photo/scan of your card through to secretary-perth@disabledsurfers.org

If this is your first time volunteering or surfing with us, please read through the information below! ______________________________________ WHAT TO BRING/WEARAll surfers and volunteers are provided with coloured swim rashies, however we would encourage wearing a pair of bathers or activewear-style clothing you don't mind getting wet when in the water (if you plan on getting in!). We would also recommend a change of clothes, reusable water bottle, beach-appropriate footwear, a hat and sunscreen. If you have a wetsuit, please bring it as it can get a bit cold in the water for extended periods of time, although it's not necessary to buy one if you don't already have one. Please check the weather prior to attending, and consider bringing appropriate warmer clothes if required when you get in and out of the water. ______________________________________ SURFER & CARER INFORMATIONWe reserve ample parking bays for our surfers with ACROD stickers, please follow the signs on the day to the lower level car park. Once you park, please make your way to the grassed area and find the participant registration tent to check-in. We will ask a few basic questions, and please use this opportunity make us aware of any concerns. Parents, carers and guardians are not required to volunteer on the day, but you are absolutely welcome to if you like! ______________________________________ VOLUNTEER INFORMATIONNot all volunteers are required from 6:30! This arrival time is for those who wish to assist setting up equipment for the day. We have bacon and egg rolls on the BBQ as a reward! All other volunteers are encouraged to arrive by 8:30am, to allow time to register and get settled before the event. Parking is limited, so please ensure you arrive with plenty of time to find a car park and walk to the grassed area to get a Parking Permit, which will need to be displayed in your windshield. This will allow you to park for longer than the hour limits defined by the Fremantle Council, and it will remain valid for each event of the whole season. Please then make your way back to the grassed area, and find the volunteer registration tent. We have land and sea roles available - if you would like stay dry for the entire event, please check with someone at the registration tent or BBQ tent for options on the day. Once you've checked-in on the day, please look out for our red-shirt team leaders and head down the beach for the safety briefing. ______________________________________ Please note you must register for each DSA WA Perth event separately through each Humanitix link. We can't wait to see you there! #smilesondials #DSAWA
