Thank you!
Thanks so much to everyone who made it along to one of our information sessions in 2011 - we had a huge number of attendees right across the country, at sessions in Alice Springs, Darwin, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra 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."
