WHS—Aggressive Behaviour

Aggressive Behaviour Training

Paul Myatt Community Centre Saturday 4 June 12:15 pm to 2:15 pm

This is compulsory training for anyone who is working in the Group Centre and beneficial training for all other support staff. The types of challenging behaviour you are likely to encounter will depend on your work role and your position within BigDog. The training is conducted by 2 qualified Australian Army trainers who have conducted a previous session with us this year and was considered to have been the best training of its type by all who attended. In threatening situations it is common to feel fear, anxiety and anger. To manage incidents involving aggression and violence effectively it is crucial to remain in control of your actions.
