Overview
The Volunteer Leadership Program provides an introduction to volunteer leadership and management in an emergency management context. It is attended by emergency services and not-for-profit volunteers who are involved in emergency response and recovery.
The program is a unique opportunity to network with like-minded people and build your capability as a leader in disaster resilience.
The Volunteer Leadership Program will be held in Perth from 1630 hours Friday 12 April to 1430 hours Sunday 14 April inclusive.
The costs of the residency program are covered by AIDR with DFES covering travel expenses for successful applicants.
The program will be run at the Ingot Hotel Perth, 285 Great Eastern Highway, Belmont.
We encourage emerging and new leaders to consider applying for this opportunity.
Applications will close with AIDR on Friday 15 March 2024.
If selected by the AIDR, your participation will be recognised by the Academy but will not be accredited. We encourage all brigade, group and unit leaders to promote this unique opportunity within your team.
