Rewarding of Volunteers through free entry or training
NSWRA has introduced a policy aimed at providing an incentive for volunteering and to recognise volunteers.
Commencing this year, volunteers who have made a major contribution to an event and forgone the opportunity to participate will be offered free entry to a NSWRA organised Rogaine, or a contribution to training.

New to Rogaining?
Would you like some information on ...
- Equipment needed.
- How to prepare.
- What happens when you get there.
- What happens on the course.
- How to navigate.
Hiding away in our Books Section is a rather large PDF file published by the Victorians which answers these questions. It is well worth taking the time to download a copy.
BWRS remote first aid
If you are keen to get some first aid skills, with a focus on remote area first aid, then you should check out the courses offered by the Bushwalkers Wilderness Rescue Squad - they run these courses that are, by all accounts, great.
Remember too that if you have been a major volunteer at a NSWRA event then you can claim $100 towards the cost of a first-aid course - like this one - rather than getting a free event entry!
