Since the beginning of the year, the uptake for Resilience First Aid has been great. Iris Foundation has delivered Resilience First Aid to 11 organisations across NSW. There are now 40 NEW RFA responders working in our communities with courses for 2022 filling up as the year comes to an end.
More courses will be scheduled in 2023 as we ramp up this much-needed training across the Central Coast and other Regions in NSW.
Comm Bank Flood Recovery funding provided organisations and individuals in the flood-affected Northern Rivers Area to participate and become trained as Resilience First Aid Responders for their community.
The following organisations are represented by RFA-trained responders
