1. Preamble

1.1. Purpose of the COVIDSafe Plan

1. To plan LSV’s return to business in accordance with directives from the Victorian Government.

2. This COVIDSafe Plan outlines:

(a) What activities LSV plans to operate, when and how.

(b) Actions to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

(c) What to do in case of suspected or confirmed transmission of COVID-19.

3. This COVIDSafe Plan aligns with LSV’s Pandemic Plan and has been informed by the

following inputs:

(a) Risk assessments.

(b) Consultations with governing councils represented by lifesaving clubs.

(c) Consultations with emergency service partners and stakeholders.

(d) Practices of other organisations.

(e) Advice from the Victorian Government.

4. This COVIDSafe Plan recognised that lifesavers are Victoria’s first responders for preventing

aquatic related death and injury. Without them lives cannot be saved, and the public cannot

be kept safe in Victoria’s aquatic environments. Together with all our people, lifesavers are

the foundation on which our goals can be achieved. Health, safety and security of our people

are fundamental to the delivery of this COVIDSafe Plan.

1.2. Goals

1. To sustain LSV and lifesaving clubs for delivering our vision and mission.

2. To protect our people, customers and the community from COVID-19.

3. To keep safety and wellbeing at the forefront and adapt as we go.

1.3. Guiding principles

1. Being positive about what we can do as it is going be different to previous years.

2. Recognising that our broad scope will require many differences to be considered.

3. Acknowledging that being COVIDSafe is everyone’s shared responsibility.

http://www.lsv.com.au/


1.4. Key elements in the COVIDSafe Plan

1.4.1. Activity groups

1. This COVIDSafe Plan covers the range of LSV’s activities that are delivered directly by LSV,

through 57 affiliated lifesaving clubs and through 100+ community and industry delivery

partners. The activities are combined into activity groups as outlined in the following table:

Activity group Delivered by LSV

Delivered by lifesaving

clubs

Delivered by community and

industry delivery partners

Lifesaving Operations & Training • •

Aquatic Sport • •

Member Development Programs • •

Lifesaving Club Facilities & Events •

Education (inc. Diversity & Inclusion) & Learn to Swim Services

• •

Public Training Services • •

Aquatic Industry Services •

LSV Offices & Warehouses •

LSV Functions & Events •

2. There are significant variances between activities in ‘what can be done, how and when’ in

COVIDSafe ways. These variances are based on the levels of restrictions set Department of

Health & Human Services (DHHS) and the capacity of LSV, lifesaving clubs and delivery

partners to operate.

3. This COVIDSafe Plan uses a normalised approach across the activities and groups to

accommodate similarities and the variances in ‘what can be done, how and when’. Examples

of accommodating similarities include the use of common checklists, such as personal

health checks, for anyone participating in any activity. Examples of accommodating

variances include the use of specific guidelines for when and how a specific activity can be

conducted.

1.4.2. Recovery scenarios

1. This COVIDSafe Plan uses recovery scenarios grouped by activity group to outline ‘what can

be done and how’ in a COVIDSafe way.

2. The recovery scenarios also outline the relevant resources including references, checklists,

guides and tools required for implementing each recovery scenario.


3. The decision on which recovery scenario LSV, lifesaving clubs and delivery partners will be

operating at a given point in time will be based on the following drivers:

(a) Compliance to the level of restrictions set by DHHS. The restrictions may be the same

state-wide or be different based on metropolitan, regional or hotspot locations. The

restrictions will inform the availability of operating environments (including beaches,

swimming pools and schools) and activities that can be undertaken.

(b) Capacity of LSV, a lifesaving club or a delivery partner to operate. For example,

capacity of a lifesaving club to run a lifesaving patrol or a Nipper program based on

availability and commitment of members at that club.

4. Recovery scenarios in this COVIDSafe Plan range from A to D, with scenario A being

closest to ‘usual’ activities and scenario D being closest to ‘no’ activities.

5. LSV will set recovery scenarios at a given point in time based primarily on the level of

restrictions set by DHHS. Each lifesaving club and delivery partner will need to assess if they

can operate to the recovery scenario set by LSV or if they need to adopt a lesser recovery

scenario based on their capacity to operate.

6. Where required, LSV will use exemptions for restrictions available to emergency services to

conduct lifesaving operations and training activities.

1.4.3. Recovery roadmaps

1. This COVIDSafe Plan uses recovery roadmaps to outline which recovery scenarios are

planned on a month by month basis, subject to the Victorian Government’s announcements.

2. The recovery roadmaps are critical for LSV, lifesaving clubs and delivery partners to prepare

for implementing the recovery scenarios.

3. While there is no certainty of what level of restrictions will apply at future points in time, LSV

will use ‘best estimate’ assumptions to plan for a recovery.

4. Assumptions are important for planning recovery given the lead time required to be ready to

deliver programs and services. The accuracy of the recovery roadmaps will be reviewed in

line with announcements from DHHS as they occur.

5. LSV recognises that lifesaving clubs and delivery partners may have recovery roadmaps that

are different to LSV due to variance in which recovery scenarios are operatable for each

entity.

1.4.4. Target audiences

1. This COVIDSafe Plan in its entirety is relevant for governance-related target audiences with

an LSV-wide perspective.

2. Sections of this COVIDSafe Plan should be extracted as relevant for specific activity group-

based target audiences.

allocated one set of office equipment only, there will not be one set for home and one

for the office).

the allocated desk and do not change. The main ‘hot desks’ will be E1-E6. These desks

will be disinfected daily by the cleaners. All equipment on these desks must remain

with the desks.

(c) If you do not require additional equipment and will just be using your laptop, you will be

allocated a desk with no equipment (if applicable, you may request your usual desk).
