Bondi Patrol Podcast
Welcome to The Bondi Patrol Podcast; a conversation with the people who volunteer their time to keep Bondi beach safe for swimmers, run the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club as well as the Bondi community who embrace & support our club, and our values – I’m your host Glen Frost, I’m a Volunteer surf life saver at Bondi, and each episode I’ll be meeting with a local legend; either from our club, from the Australian surf life saving community, or from in and around Bondi.
We exist to save lives, create great Australians and build better communities, and we couldn’t do that without our 1500 volunteers and an engaged and supportive Bondi community, so thank you, we salute you.
The Bondi Patrol Podcast is owned by The Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club. All advertising and sponsorship revenues are paid directly to the Bondi SBLSC. Glen Frost is the Co-Founder and Host of the podcast, and does not profit in any way from the podcast. Glen donates his time to make the podcast happen.

The Bondi Patrol Podcast: Episode 17: Scott John Maggs, Founder, Skin Check Champions
Our skin is our biggest organ, and it’s our first line of defence. Every day, our skin can be damaged by the sun. This can cause cell mutation which may turn into skin cancer. Thankfully, if you find and treat a suss looking spot early enough, your chances of survival are better than almost any other cancer, which is why getting a skin check is so important.
Scott started Skin Check Champions after losing his best friend to skin cancer at an early age; he turned this tragic event into a national campaign that saves lives – listen to his story.
Skin Check Champions’ mission is “to win the race against skin cancer by championing early detection”. SCC raise awareness for, and access to, early detection services, especially for communities most at risk of skin cancer. The goal is to connect people to their local GP, Skin Clinic or Dermatologist via free, educational pop-up skin check clinics.
We encourage all surf life savers and people working outdoors to have their free skin check every year. You can learn more here: https://skincheckchampions.com/
