AT Australia Training - Closed
29 March 2023 - 31 July 2023
We are sad to announce that all registrations to our Training cources are closed.
Due to the lack of Federal and NSW State government funding support, we have fallen through the gap. AT-Aust will be closing its doors on April 14th 2023.
Should a miracle happen that we receive funding for our core business of information provisions, we might be able to re-consider our Training programs.
We understand that this may be inconvenient for you all, but it is now unavoidable. You lose your Home Mods and impartial AT training provider, you and your clients lose a valuable AT information service.
If you have any questions please email us training@at-aust.org
For more info or you might want to support us.
Thank you.
