Health Associated Training
Empowering healthcare students with specialised training on the intersection of the disability and medical sectors. It’s through the HATS (Health Associated Training) program, where people get to put the training into practice, enhancing care for Campers and Buddies through hands-on volunteer experiences at Flying Fox camps.
The HATS program is a professional development opportunity targeted at medicine, nursing and paramedic students to be trained on the intersection of disability and first aid who then volunteer as medics on programs.
