Violent and aggressive incidents can and do occur in our industry.

In response to real incidents that have impacted our members, CCIA NSW is delivering training to help public-facing team members better identify, manage and de-escalate potentially violent situations before they get out of hand.

Our new half-day, Dealing with Occupational Violence & Aggression workshop will provide practical skills to protect staff, customers and business owners, while supporting workplace safety obligations.
