ACC RiverSafe Providers

ACC THINK SAFE LOGO

When students are involved in any river-based activity, those leading and supervising the activity need a high level of expertise (knowledge, skill and experience).

Water Safety New Zealand and ACC are aware that not all teachers who are EOTC leaders in schools have the experience required to lead river-based activities. WSNZ and ACC operate a programme where a selected number of EOTC providers from throughout the country have become accredited ACC RiverSafe providers.

ACC RiverSafe providers have undergone training in the RiverSafe activities and demonstrated that they have the expertise to conduct RiverSafe activities with school students.

Contacts for accredited ACC RiverSafe providers are listed below.

Provider Requirements

The following documents outline the requirements WSNZ and ACC require from accredited ACC RiverSafe providers.

 

For further enquiries about becoming an accredited ACC RiverSafe provider please contact Water Safety New Zealand – info@riversafe.org.nz
