Established in 1988, the Australian Exchange Program provides an opportunity for lifeguards in Australia to work for LBTBP, thus providing an opportunity for our American lifeguards to work in Australia during the winter.

During the 2008 summer season, LBTBP employed three lifeguards from Poland and sent five american lifeguards to Australia.

While LBTBP has participated in other exchange programs in the past, bringing lifeguards from various European countries, LBTBP currently only participates in the Australian Exchange Program. If you are a qualified ocean lifeguard from another country you may be able to apply through another exchange program.

If you are interested in the Australian Exchange Program we must receive all necessary paperwork by December 31— no exceptions. In addition, you must have three years of experience as a lifeguard.
