Outward Bound Australia's administrative departments are based at our National Base, Tharwa. Whilst the operational teams are also based here, they spend a lot of time in our mobile areas throughout the country.
We have around 80 staff of which 75% are made up of our operational structure, this includes three teams of Instructors, Senior Instructors, Team Coordinators and Team Managers. The remaining staff form our administration team and include the Executive, Finance & IT, Business Development, Human Resources, Learning and Development, Logistics and Facilities and Risk Management departments.
Essentially sourcing trainee instructors, qualified instructors and administration staff. But what is involved with that is remarkably diverse, stimulating and highly rewarding. One day I’ll be designing or delivering a presentation, another I’ll be on a mountain top hearing our school director give an inspiring talk to our new recruits.
