NatCORR will upskill outdoor professional workers with new research, technology, capabilities, and networks to work safely outdoors.

All Australians who visit and enjoy our natural bushlands, parks and reserves for school camps, holidays, recreational sports and activities, relaxation, well-being, and adventurous expeditions will benefit. NSW State government reports over 60 million visits to National Parks in Australia annually (2018). The figure incorporating State Parks and Reserves would be much higher. Each visit presents risks which the establishment and ongoing operation of NatCORR will mitigate.

It is well evidenced in research that time in the natural environment enhances health and well-being. This project helps retain safe access to the bush in the face of increasing disaster risks, maintaining a capacity to draw on the benefits of outdoor activities, education and recreation.
