BADGAR takes wildlife rescue training very seriously. We're developing a new standard of rescue in Victoria. All of our rescuers will be examined regularly and kept in constant notification of the latest developments in the field. We LISTEN to the experts in each field and act accordingly.

BADGAR has 4 levels of trained rescuer, each rescuer is awarded a certificate and graded level according to their skill base. The BADGAR Rescue levels are

LEVEL 1: Senior Rescue Leader

LEVEL 2: Intermediate Rescue Leader

LEVEL 3: BADGAR rescuer

LEVEL 4: Entry Level rescuer

This way BADGAR can dispatch the relevant team member according to their skill and experience. All rescuers and groups affiliated with BADGAR must carry this training level to volunteer with us. These levels are recognised by the appropriate authorities.
