On 8 February a good number of facilitators and mentors along with POC and other interested parties gathered at Mates for Mates (M4M)in Brisbane for the annual staff familiarization day.

The day was put together by the QLD Chapter with welcome support from M4M.  Good representation from places far and wide ensured a couple of lively discussions.

The objective was to ensure that the philosophy and content used on treks were understood by all staff. Briefings on the foundation organisation and individual responsibilities were provided with a strong slant toward position descriptions for the trek staff. The occasion also provided the opportunity for the staff to meet their counterparts from other areas.
