Get ready for Landcare and Bushcare in 2019 with our free (for members) training!

January 14, 2019

Our popular first aid course for members is on again.

After an exceptional turnout last December, we’re running another first aid course with Jono from Clean4shore and Allens Training on Saturday March 30th, from 9am to 5pm at Hawkesbury Central Library, Windsor in north-western Sydney. You can register on Eventbrite here.  Receive a certified first aid qualification, with a special focus on first aid in Landcare and Bushcare settings. This course is suitable for both first-timers, and those needing a refresh and re-certification.

“The course was fantastic and Jono is a brilliant instructor. It was an intense day and not a moment was passed without learning something new. Jono taught the course efficiently, but more importantly, effectively.” – Magnolia S.

We’re also hosting a Bushcare and Landcare OH&S course this February.

Learn the fundamentals of safely managing, working with and reducing the risks associated with volunteer outdoor activities. This course is available free to members for Landcare, non-environmental and non-Bushcare groups.  You can register on Eventbrite here; the course is scheduled for Saturday February 16th, from 10am to 2pm at Hawkesbury Central Library, Windsor in north-western Sydney.

Are you a council or NPWS-run bushcare group who might benefit from this course? Check with your supervisor and email LLC Clare here, as OH&S management varies between LGAs.
