Hi John,

Sewage pollution plagues our rivers, seas and coasts, making us sick, spoiling our favourite swim spots, destroying delicate ecosystems, killing our wildlife, and threatening ocean recovery. 

Through monthly donations, members are powering action that actually makes waves and drives real change, from beach front to front bench.  

In the last year, member donations have enabled us to: 

💻 Launch the SAS Data HQ; the ultimate hub where all Surfers Against Sewage water quality data comes together in one place. Along with the Safer Seas and River Service app we can empower communities to safely use the water, drive change and tackle sewage pollution. 

📝 Get 30,000 signatures on our Ban the Bailouts petition, which shaped the political debate and gained verbal commitments from the Government for our campaign calls. 

📣 Pile the pressure on government to ACT on our broken water system.  So much so that the government enlisted the Independent Water Commission to carry out the biggest review of the water industry in 30 years. And while the final report doesn't go far enough, it's forcing the government to do SOMETHING about this crisis.   

🌎 Continue to take further bold campaigning action this year and beyond to see a full transformation of the water system, creating a water system that prioritises customers, the environment and human health. 

We’re turning public anger into political pressure. 

Together, we stand against the sewage, plastic, and industries polluting our wild waters.  

SAS members power the campaigns that hold polluters and policymakers accountable. We don’t ask nicely. We demand better. ✊

We’re applying pressure where it hurts. From public protests to parliamentary action, we won’t stop our relentless campaigning until our wild waters get the protection they deserve. 

If you’re done watching and waiting for change, join a movement that’s fighting back. Let’s turn the tide on sewage pollution. 💩  

For the ocean 🌊

Olivia, Giving Officer
