Well done to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for winning the 2026 Community Training Initiative of the Year award at the ! 🎉👏

As the Queensland Government prepares to deliver and showcase Queensland to the world, the right skills will be needed in the right place, at the right time – including skills to protect the natural environments at the heart of our visitor economy.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is helping Queenslanders build those skills and pursue careers in conservation through the National Trust of Australia Queensland Eco-conservation Skills Traineeship.

Across Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Garima Conservation Reserve and Eco Parklands, the traineeship combines accredited training with meaningful, hands-on conservation work. 💚🍃

The program offers trainees an 18-week, full-time paid traineeship leading to a Certificate I in Conservation and Ecosystem Management, along with other industry-required qualifications.

The program supports people who may have experienced barriers to employment, including long-term unemployment, limited work experience, low confidence and personal challenges.

In its first two years, every participant completed the program and 88 per cent went on to find employment – an outstanding result.

A big shout-out to the winning team at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary! 🎊
