The much anticipated Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) and BioCollect training will now be delivered via free webinars.

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the VSTWP has decided to deliver the ALA and BioCollect training via a series of on-line webinars during August and September 2020. This arrangement will provide community and stakeholders with more flexibility to attend the full training program and will give each attendee the best opportunity to maximise benefits.

The training will be delivered over a series of four modules by Peter Brenton and Matilda Stevenson from the CSIRO. There will be several options available to enable you to attend all the modules.

NOTE: The training is being provided in an interactive train-the-trainer format and is not being offered to everyone in the first instance. The expectation is for people trained in these sessions to then deliver training and user support within their local communities.

Preference will be given according to the following criteria:
a) Occupy a volunteer or professional role which would enable them to deliver further training to community members;
b) Have the capacity to deliver training and provide support to community members within areas of Victoria affected by serrated tussock or gorse;
d) Have at least a basic to moderate experience in computers and web-based applications.

This application will help us to more effectively plan the training modules so you can get the most out of each session.
