Royal Lifesaving is proud to provide professional development for aquatic industry leaders through our 2-day training program designed to empower and educate individuals in leadership roles.
Recently, we had the privilege of hosting our largest cohort yet—15 participants—in an intensive course facilitated by the esteemed Peter Agnew (AM), Director of People Development Australia and a prominent figure in management education.
Peter brings a wealth of experience spanning over 25 years in senior management across government, commercial, and nonprofit sectors. His hands-on experience in the aquatic industry makes him uniquely qualified to educate participants within this specialised field. Peter's appointment as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) underscores his significant contributions and commitment to professional development.
