Training sessions will run for 6 consecutive weeks. Each session is 2 hours and will run twice a week. Once a candidate has expressed interest in joining Pooch Mates, one of our team will sit with you to understand your care needs before starting the program. Each person will have the skills and knowledge they have learnt during the program assessed to make sure they are safe and ready to enter the workforce.

There are no out of pocket expenses for you; funding will be claimed from “developing life skills” at $1,264.20 or equivalent. This course will be allocated a reasonable budget each term to cover equipment used.
