About the project
This program will raise awareness of NRM priorities as they relate to our 2030 NRM Strategy for Cradle Coast Tasmania and improve the profile of our existing NRM projects to encourage participation. The project will also support a well-informed and resourced network of volunteer groups who use best practice methods to protect our natural resources.
Community First Aid Sponsorships
As part of our Community NRM Engagement project, we are offering sponsorship to community groups in the Cradle Coast region to support first aid training.
This sponsorship is open to all Landcare, Coastcare, Aboriginal, ‘Friends of’ groups and other community group volunteers who are currently actively engaged in natural resource management projects in the Cradle Coast region.
Sponsorship is available to community group volunteers so that they can improve their first aid skills by attending an accredited first aid training course. Ideally, volunteers in roles managing activities’ occupational health and safety requirements.
This sponsorship is to provide basic first aid or a CPR refresher only. The sponsorship will only cover the following accredited units:
- HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
- HLTAID010 – Provide Basic Emergency Life Support
- HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid
Applications open Tuesday 27 January 2026 for training to be completed by 30 June 2026.
Sponsorship is limited. A maximum of two people per community group may apply, however there is no guarantee Cradle Coast Authority will be able to offer sponsorship to all applicants. You will be advised of the outcome of your application within two weeks of submitting an application.
