Royal Life Saving’s mission is to ‘prevent the loss of life and injury in the community with emphasis on aquatic environments’, therefore drowning and injury prevention programs to at risk target population through health promotion strategies is core business for the Society.
 Royal Life Saving’s Community Health programs are based on the ‘systems’ approach to reduce injuries. This involves a sequence of steps from identifying the problem to evaluating the effects of the intervention.
The process developed here involves four steps - Analysis, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation. Other models also used include the PRECEDE approach of Green et al.(1991) and the MATCH model of Simons-Morton et al. (1989) by putting the diagnostic process into action. It also incorporates elements of other key conceptual processes such as those of Haddon (1980) and Egger et.al (1999).
