Patrol rosters
With swaps.
Surf life saving club software: patrols, members & nippers
Surf clubs: patrols filled, nippers registered. Rosters, members and nippers together.
Patrol swaps in group chats, nippers registrations on paper and function bookings by email. We build surf club systems that take the admin off volunteers.
Looking for surf life saving club software?
Surf clubs run patrols, nippers, competitions and often a busy function and bar side. Volunteers carry the admin. We build systems that work alongside the national membership system.
Wollopit builds member portals, booking systems, volunteer rosters and websites for surf life saving clubs around how your organisation actually runs. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so your people can focus on the community instead of the admin.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your surf life saving club: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things surf life saving clubs ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Does it replace the national membership system?
No. We work alongside it and fill the gaps like patrol swaps, functions and volunteer jobs.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your surf life saving club. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build. We know budgets are tight and we'll help you stage it.
Can volunteers use it without training?
Yes. We keep it simple enough that a new volunteer can pick it up on their phone in a few minutes.
Can it take donations, memberships and bookings?
Yes. Payments, renewals, receipts and bookings can all run online, with reports for your committee or board.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most surf life saving clubs we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
