What is the minimum age for the Bronze Medallion?

You must be at least 15 years old on the date of final assessment. Surf Life Saving NSW lists the minimum age as 15 years, and Surf Life Saving Queensland says candidates must "be at least 15 years of age on the date of final assessment".

Younger members aged 13 and 14 can take the Surf Rescue Certificate instead (minimum age 13, with an unaided 200 m swim in 5 minutes or less). A member who turns 15 during the surf sports season and gains the Bronze Medallion can move up into some older competition divisions.
