our approach to training
At Fairy Meadow we like to get our new members in a uniform and on patrol as soon as possible. That’s why, when you join with us you will complete an initial day of training in CPR, First Aid, and/or Radio operations, receive your brand new uniform and join our Patrol Teams as an Award Member. You will then undertake training for your Bronze Medallion while on patrol. This ‘on the job training’ approach allows our new members to gain valuable experience, feel part of the team, and most importantly learn at your own pace.
We take a modularised approach to training. This means you complete your training in stages and receive nationally recognised qualifications as you go. these include:
Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: HLTAID009
Provide First Aid: HLTAID011
Radio Operator: PUAOPE013
Advanced Resuscitation Techniques: HLTAID015


An AWARD MEMBER IS A PERSON WHO HOLDS A QUALIFICATION, OTHER THAN THE BRONZE MEDALLION, SUCH AS PROVIDE CPR, FIRST AID, RADIO OPERATOR, OR ADVANCED RESUSCITATION TECHNIQUES. aN AWARD MEMBER CAN BE INVOLVED IN ALL PATROL OPERATIONS BUT WILL NOT PERFORM IN WATER RESCUES OR OPERATE POWERCRAFT.
