Want to help a group of people with their road skills?
We can come to your premises with our equipment or we can organise a free presentation at one of our premises.
Also, the presentation can be tailored to your group's needs and time frame. Please contact rso@cumberland.nsw.gov.au to discuss your details.
The presentation can be delivered in community languages, but the group will need to organise an interpreter.
Regular presentations include:
