Risk Assessment for Outdoor Programs

At the recent Outdoors Victoria Conference, Clare Dallat and Natassia ran a workshop to develop a better understanding of the different ways in which practitioners view risk assessment for outdoor programs.

Activities in June

Last month Natassia was very busy getting the UPLOADS Project out and about. She presented at the Outdoors Victoria Conference, gave a training session at YMCA Victoria, launched UPLOADS in WA and conducted two training sessions at the Department of Sport and Recreation in Perth. Thank you to Steve Bennet(Department of Sport and Rec, WA) and Jamie Bennet (Outdoors WA) for making the trip to WA possible.
