Anthony’s experience has involved multi-agency settings and diverse environments, so communication and planning have been key to his achievements.  Anthony has worked with Bindaree Outdoor Education fostering relationships with schools and community groups to provide experiential learning in the outdoors.  He has also worked with the Victoria State Emergency Service providing advice, education, and training to various organisations.
