Widllife Victoria supports its members by offering training at a reduced rate or free of charge; in most cases membership can be taken out at the beginning of the training day.
Sometimes training cannot be offered free, however Wildlife Victoria tries to keep the costs to a minimum. You can help Wildlife Victoria continue to offer high quality training services by making a donation.
Wildlife Victoria also informs members of quality training days being run by professional trainers. Wildlife Victoria recommends these trainers as excellent and can include snake handling to bird rehabilitation.
Wildlife Victoria can advertise your training days on this page by contacting us; however they do need to comply with some basic requirements.
A new training calendar for 2008 is currently in process. If you have any requirements then please contact us.
