Confirmed today at Royal Life Saving’s National Aquatics Infrastructure Symposium in Melbourne, the GSPO subscriber benefit will see GSPO subscribers receive a complementary subscription to the Australasian Leisure Management magazine and twice-weekly newsletter - the industry’s leading resource for insights, trends, and best practices across aquatics, recreation, fitness, sport and venue management.

This exclusive benefit provides GSPO subscribers with;

• Industry-leading news & updates relevant to your field
• Expert insights & research to help shape best practices
• Case studies & innovations in leisure facility management
• Published Research and Articles from Royal Life Saving Australia

Commenting on the partnership, RJ Houston, General Manager - Capability & Industry at Royal Life Saving Australia, said the partnership with Australasian Leisure Management enhances communication across the aquatic, recreation, and drowning prevention sectors, stating “Royal Life Saving is pleased to support ALM’s efforts in enhancing communication across the aquatics, sport, leisure, and recreation communities.

“This partnership provides a valuable platform to share our research, policies, programs, and events with colleagues and supporters.

“We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to each other’s work.”

Welcoming the link, Australasian Leisure Management Publisher, Nigel Benton noted “partnerships with the industry’s leading organisations has always been key to the success of Australasian Leisure Management.

“Linking with Royal Life Saving and having the magazine and its contents shared with GSPO subscribers only gives us more impetus to publish news and features that these readers will value.
