Parkes Aquatic Venues achieve 98–100% in national safety accreditation ahead of Easter School Holidays

In the lead-up to the Easter school holidays, it’s great to know our Parkes region aquatic venues in NSW are some of the safest in the country—earning outstanding scores of 98–100% in the latest Royal Life Saving safety audits. 

Awarded the prestigious 5-Star Royal Life Saving Accreditation, reaffirming their commitment to safety, excellence and industry-leading standards. Following rigorous assessments, Peak Hill Pool and Trundle Pool achieved a perfect 100%, while Parkes Aquatic Centre and Tullamore Pool earned impressive scores of 98%. 

Royal Life Saving’s 5-star accreditation is the gold standard in aquatic facility management, assessing venues on: 

• Water safety and risk management – ensuring strict lifeguard vigilance, emergency response preparedness and hazard mitigation. 
• Staff training and qualifications – requiring up-to-date certifications, ongoing professional development and real-world emergency drills. 
• Comprehensive documentation and procedural compliance – reviewing extensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), risk assessments, incident reporting systems and safety audits to ensure facilities are operating at the highest standard. 
• Facility compliance and operations – evaluating pool maintenance, water quality management and adherence to industry regulations. 
• Public safety measures – assessing signage, patron supervision and accessibility to safety equipment.
