Two Lake Macquarie Police officers are being honoured with bravery awards today.

Senior Constables Wade Fuller and Craig Hansen rescued a father and three children after they were caught in a rip at Caves Beach in September 2016.

The pair commandeered body boards to reach the man and 1 child about 70 metres from shore, while the other two children were rescued 90 metres from the shoreline.

For their actions, Senior Constables Fuller and Hansen have been commended for brave conduct.
