2023 Database Upgrade

The Patrol and Memberships Database (CRM and the Member Portal) has now been upgraded to the cloud-based Dynamics 365 as of Monday, August 21st. All data that was previously available to you will still be accessible in this new system with some visual changes. Some key info for this is outlined below.

User Training and Support: To ensure a smooth transition, training material has been provided below to cover all processes in the new systems. Please contact database@surflifesaving.org.nz for further support.


Logging In: 

  • Your login details for the CRM are slightly different. Your password remains the same, while your username will now be clubname@surflifesaving.org.nz
  • Your login details for the Membership Portal remain unchanged (SLS_membershipnumber)

We understand that this upgrade may raise questions or concerns, and we are committed to supporting you throughout the transition process. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this upgrade.

What is PAM?

PAM is a central database for all Surf Life Saving clubs in New Zealand. It is used to log details of members (contact details, awards, memberships etc) and patrols and incidents. PAM holds this information securely, and the data gives us an understanding of trends across the whole organisation. All clubs must log their members, patrols and incidents onto PAM. The database has two components - the CRM and the Member Portal.
