Ever wondered how it feels to hop on the revolutionary train of electric vehicles (EVs)? Our guest, David Douglas, is here to shed some light! He'll take you through the ins and outs of New South Wales' destination charging grants - a fund aimed at promoting EV use in Australia. Get ready for him to spill the beans on the Electric Vehicle Charging Grant Program too, where he'll discuss everything from eligibility criteria to key milestones. Trust us, it's a ride you wouldn't want to miss!

But that's not all. Our episode also navigates some rough seas, as we tackle the crucial topic of safety in marine adventure tourism. You'll get the lowdown on risk management in vessel operations, safety briefings and the art of effective risk communication. We'll explore the guidelines for operating aquatic activities and the ongoing debate on whether an organiSation like ours requires a certificate of operation or can function under state legislation. Learn about the challenges we face with commercial qualifications for our leaders and volunteers and the initiatives we're taking to bring about legislative changes.

We also take a moment to reflect on our organization's milestone 40th year and our CEO's enlightening experience on an insurance panel alongside some prominent figures. Hear about her interactions with the Assistant Treasurer of Australia and the CEO of Insurance Council Australia - conversations that carry significant implications for our sector. And because we understand the critical role we play in preserving the heritage and culture of the First Nations peoples, we touch on that subject as well. From updates about our organisation to safety in marine tourism, this episode is a treasure trove of insights you wouldn't want to miss!
