SSAA Farmer Assist Program launched in NSW

SSAA NSW is proud and excited to announce the launch of the SSAA Farmer Assist Program in NSW. SSAA Farmer Assist has been developed to enable farmers with wildlife management issues to seek the assistance of SSAA members through a specially designed web portal.

SSAA NSW members can now register online for the Program after completing the necessary participant requirements that are outlined in the Complete Program Booklet.

There are three key criteria that all members must meet in order to register for the Program:

• Hold a current and valid SSAA membership.
• Meet the competency standard in marksmanship.
• Read and agree to abide by the SSAA Farmer Assist Participant Requirements and Code of Practice as outlined in the Complete Program Booklet.

The rollout of the Program will be staggered to ensure that we build a substantial resource of qualified members that will be able to service demand prior to the promotion and release to farmers. Once fully activated, farmers will have the ability to post a job online and SSAA members may then apply to help with those jobs if suitable (at this stage SSAA NSW members may only apply for jobs within NSW).

It is important to note that it is at the farmer’s discretion to initiate contact with members and from there it is the responsibility of each party to form an ongoing working relationship together.

There are 7 easy steps to search for jobs on the jobs board. Once you apply all the filters in the ‘SSAA Members Search Area’ a list of current jobs will be displayed. It’s as easy as selecting each job, previewing the job particulars and applying for the job.
