Thank you!
Thanks so much to everyone who have already made it along to one of our information sessions in 2012 - we've had a huge number of attendees right across the country, at sessions in Alice Springs, Darwin, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Bendigo and Hobart.
We had some great feedback from our information sessions - here are a few selected quotes from attendees.
"Thank you - comprehensive."
"A very worthwhile seminar. Having past volunteers tell their story was a first class example of good teaching."
"My knowledge has increased greatly. Jim & Irene (AVI presenters) provided a very realistic picture."
"[It was] excellent having people talk about their experiences."
"A good introduction for me to spend some time assessing my commitment to apply."
