WIRES RICC 

Rescue and Immediate Care Course (RICC) 

Course Delivery: The RICC can now be completed entirely online, allowing participants the flexibility to complete their training contactless. This course consists of two components, the online theory and the practical workshop. The practical workshop can be completed online OR at a 1 day face-to-face workshop. The theory component must be finished before you can register for a face-to-face workshop or commence the online workshop.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation throughout NSW and the necessary Government restrictions and safety measures, many RICC practical workshops have been impacted this year. While we endeavour to provide the opportunity for face-to-face practical training, participant and trainer safety is a priority and we thank you for your understanding.

The RICC is WIRES introductory wildlife rescue and immediate care training. It is mandatory for all new WIRES volunteers. 

If you are planning to volunteer with WIRES please make sure you have read the information about becoming a rescuer before registering for the course.

Participants must be 18 and over to register for WIRES training.
