keep talking 360...its all evidence..lol
funny how all of a sudden we arent bagging the people concerned and approve of (only) this service - despite there being plenty of comment previously about the previous iteration of this company and despite other companies clearly paying at or above the award rates
coincedence...nah, unlikely

Evidence ??? filtered
I clearly state again... I'm not in favour of Privates companies but if they are going to be a reality then they need to play by the rules of licence, equipment, qualifications and awards for staff.

Hi guys, new to the team. Interesting part of the advert is that the Cert IV qualification needs to have been gained or re-accredited in the last 24 months. - That lets out the majority of SAAS PTS Officers - SAAS does not re-accredit anyone
-
I agree that there is a problem with pts reacreditation and training. I know a volunteer whom has to go back to their volly station to get accredited so she can keep up to date. This is madness. People are only human and do forget things over time
-
The other way to get reaccreditation is to go via the AREMT who will do so by challenge exam and skills RPL. I believe they have a local assessor who have done this for SAAS personnel wishing to work overseas.

Blackfoot I am sure you are the local AREMT assessor in Adelaide! I have checked out the AREMT website and listed assessors are <Removed Name> and <Removed Name> for South Australia
