Background

In 2004, the Sport and Recreation Ministers' Council endorsed a proposal for each State and Territory to institute its own variation of the Adventure Activity Standards (AAS).

Accordingly, AAS are being established in each state/territory as minimum voluntary guidelines.

The Council of Australian Government meeting in November 2008 will be finalising an intergovernmental agreement that in part will facilitate a consistent skills base for licensed and regulatory activity through the use of training package qualifications and units of competency.

The Queensland Adventure Activity Standards have been developed by the Queensland Outdoor Recreation Federation on behalf of the Department of Local Government, Sport and Recreation.
