Reef Training & Aquatics provides private group training for businesses, schools, aquatic centres, councils, resorts, outdoor recreation providers, community groups and organisations across Australia.

Instead of sending staff to multiple public courses, we can bring training to your location and deliver it in a way that suits your team, your environment and your operational needs.

Our onsite training is especially useful for schools, camps, outdoor education providers, aquatic centres and organisations that run activities in or around water. We can deliver water rescue training, first aid training, CPR training and aquatic courses together, helping your team build practical emergency response skills in one coordinated training program.

This can be particularly valuable for groups that need staff to supervise aquatic activities, assist with school swimming programs, support camp activities, manage water-based excursions, work near pools or natural waterways, or respond confidently in a first aid or water rescue situation.

For Queensland schools, CARA guidelines are an important consideration when planning curriculum activities. The Queensland Department of Education states that CARA guidelines show the minimum safety standard expected for common curriculum activities, and schools must use the relevant guideline when preparing risk assessments for those activities. The CARA guideline for swimming in locations other than pools includes natural venues such as dams, lakes, rivers, non-surf beaches and other water environments, and notes that schools may need written risk assessment advice when engaging external expertise.

Reef Training & Aquatics can support schools and organisations with practical training that helps staff build capability around water safety, rescue response, CPR, first aid and emergency planning.
