RDA Member Survey

Your answers will assist RDA Australia to improve and upgrade the training resources, delivery methods and components of the RDA Coach Education system.  Coaches are responsible for the national delivery of RDA programs and are tasked with planning, delivering and overseeing programs that are safe, effective, challenging and meet the needs of individual clients.  We are currently reviewing our strategic objectives into the year 2020.  Coach and volunteer training will be a primary goal in our new strategic plan.  If you would like to add any further suggestions or information not included in this survey, please email to admin@rda.org.au.
