Are you eligible for a sponsored (free) position?

Through the generous support of Resilience Canopy Partners, we offer sponsored training placements to people committed to applying the training with a community within sponsored Local Government Areas (LGA). That means the training and access to the subsequent 24 months of mentoring and coaching through the Canopy Collective is free!

If your community is in one of these identified areas, and you are committed to using the six-step model to walk alongside your community on their resilience building journey – then this sponsorship opportunity is for you!​

​You can apply for a sponsored place during the first step registration process, and we will be in touch to confirm your eligibility. Spaces are limited for each LGA so be quick to apply. We may also be able to assist in finding a partner to support your training costs, even if your community is not within an existing sponsored LGA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do a make up session / What if I miss one of the sessions?
Unfortunately, we cannot arrange a make-up session if you miss one session, as the training has been customised to suit the needs of the cohort you train with over the four sessions. Talk to your friendly trainer at the time if a personal emergency arises.
Why is the training free for some and not others?
To help reach the communities that need it most (such as being at high risk of disaster, or have low social-economic opportunities) the training is sponsored by the Minderoo Foundation and other partners.  Pay to participate options are available for other interested communities that might not meet the conditions of being ‘at risk’.  There may be options to seek partners and sponsors for community members to undertake training. Get in touch to see how we might help.
The dates and locations don't suit me. Will you consider running training in my town?
Yes! Submit an expression of interest with your preferred months and options for location and the Canopy Team will schedule future training locations based on those preferences.  If you have a group of 12 or more, get in touch with us and we can arrange a date and place directly. Email training [at] resiliencecanopy [dot] com [dot] au
Are group bookings or specialised training available?
We welcome interest from larger groups or specialised sessions for communities, groups or organisations of 12 or more.  Get in touch so we can explore options.
Can multiple people from the same community do the training?
Yes, multiple registrations (2–3 people) from a single community or group are welcome and encouraged.  Having a 'buddy' to support you on the journey can help with your success.
Do I need to live in the training location?
You don't need to live or have a chosen community in the location where the training you want to attend is being held. All are welcome regardless of location.
Does applying for a sponsored place guarantee eligibility, and is there any commitment involved if I'm successful?
Applying does not guarantee eligibility; confirmation comes when you receive and accept a booking offer. If successful, you may need to sign a brief commitment agreement.
