In the past few months, the unprecedented bushfire disaster has burned more than 100,000 sq km of forest, bushland and parks across Australia. Thirty people have now been killed, including 4 firefighters. Thousands have now lost their homes and whole communities devastated.
While conditions have temporarily improved thanks to rain and cooler conditions in the most heavily affected areas in NSW and VIC, there are still months left in this bushfire season. Conditions are expected to worsen again in coming weeks with warmer, drier days.
We are committing 5% of the revenue from sales of our Precision RTO Resources branded training resources, as well as our extended catalogues Compliant Learning Resources, Vibrant Courseware, TotalVET Training Resources and RTO Learning Materials to the Red Cross Bushfire Relief Fund for the month of January.
We know many of our clients, their families and friends have already been affected or may be affected by the bushfires in the coming months. We hope you are safe, and wish to see people and communities on the path to recovery as soon as possible.
