The IT changes will benefit everyone – our members, our employees, our clubs, our organisation and importantly, Australian beachgoers. We’re improving our processes so that we become faster, more effective and more efficient.
Once the system is rolled out, you’ll feel better connected to the organisation as you’ll be able to find out easily what’s going on around Australia, and will be able to clearly see the enhancements across all of the following systems and processes.
