Be A Mermate

Come volunteer with us at WA’s biggest youth beach party 😎☀️

2026 is ! ✨ We're calling on young people from across WA to join us at Dunsborough Leavers and Meelup BeachFest to help keep Year 12 grads safe around the water.

📍23 - 27 November 2026

You might be perfect for this if you’re:
✅ Studying a health-related course
✅ Motivated and enthusiastic about promoting water safety
✅ Confident chatting with young people
✅ Looking for something meaningful to add to your resume

Cliff jumping might look epic on camera but it can go wrong fast 🎥🌊

If you’re somewhere new, don’t assume it’s deep enough. Shallow water, rocks and changing conditions can turn a fun jump into a bad day 😬

Find out the depth first and check in with locals to make sure you're not diving into a sandbank directly on camera 👀 If you’re not 100% sure, give it a miss—no post is worth a permanent injury!

Happy M8 Day 💛

Good mates don’t let their friends take stupid risks.

Swimming alone is never the go. Remember to always bring someone you can trust to speak up if something feels off, and don’t just go along with it if it doesn’t feel right.

👉 Tag a mate who’ll tell you you’re being a du***ss to your face, they're the real ones.

Things that actually scare me

Feeling dusty after a big night? Think a swim will help clear your head?

Think again

If you stop drinking at 2am, you still might not be sober until around 4pm the next day! Even when you feel “fine” your reaction time, coordination and judgement can still be off.

This long weekend, if you’re not 100%, stay out of the water and leave the swims until you’re feeling your best. Be a Mermate and look out for each other 🤝💙

Even in your dreams you know a Mermate’s got your back 🧜‍♀️💙
