WIRES CENTRAL NORTHERN



	TRAINING DATES Many of the scheduled courses are listed on the WIRES intranet www.wires.org.au then go to members login then the events link. Some courses that I am aware of are listed below. NOTE: if you do any species training at another branch please let the secretary and animal coordinator know so that you can be put on the carers list, otherwise we won’t know that you are qualified. Thanks. In NSW no person is allowed to care for native animals without an annual authority to act issued under the licence held by WIRES or another licenced wildlife rehabilitation organisation or by a privately licenced individual. You must be over 18 to attend a WIRES training course. WIRES training courses provide an understanding of how animals become injured and come into our care. Courses are held at locations throughout NSW, generally between February and November. To find out when the next courses in your area are to be run, check out the training course schedule below. Please note that where there is high demand for training courses and numbers are limited, priority will be given to those who reside within the branch area running the course. If this is the case and you live outside the branch area you may be referred to a future training course at your local branch.

These courses are sometimes open to members of other wildlife rescue groups who have completed training courses and already hold a NPWS Licence or members of other rescue organizations who require specialist animal handling skills in emergency situations. If you are interested in obtaining further information about our specialist courses please email us, including details of the specialist area you are interested in, your completed training and licence number or the name of your rescue organisation. Please attend as many courses as you can as we are unable to offer most of them at a local level on a yearly basis. So, if you miss out this year, it may be two to three years before we can bring them around again.
