The Board of the Outdoor Council of Australia (OCA) has recently undertaken a review of the National Outdoor Leadership Registration Scheme (NOLRS). After significant deliberations the decision has been taken to phase out the NOLRS. The NOLRS will be maintained as a registration scheme until 30 June 2021. We thank the many outdoor organisation’s and leaders across Australia that have supported the scheme over the years.
To the individual registrant
- Recognised by AAS: NOLRS is recognised by many of the Adventure Activity Standards (AAS) as a method of showing leader competency.
- Nationally Recognised: based on nationally recognised training and assessment and can be used in all states and territories to show leader competency and currency.
- Currency: enables registrants to remain current even though their original qualification may have been superseded or expired.
- Reduces complexity: one NOLRS card can be used instead of numerous certificates and qualifications.
