A review of the Public Safety Training Package is underway by Government Skills Australia (GSA) with SLSA being the lead agent for the aquatic rescue qualifications.

The aim of the project is to produce a qualifications framework including skill sets, communication strategy, and consultation plan for the aquatic and marine rescue sector that will inform the broader review of the Public Safety Training Package.
