After hearing about the issues with national benchmarking and assessment tools I thought it wise to catch up with Penny Larsen from Royal Lifesaving Australia to hear how the framework is being updated within our industry. I'm very looking forward to see how owners and teachers implement the new framework with implementation of assessment tools. What we do with this new information is up to us. How will WE transform the industry?
