RMCG, in conjunction with PCA, is running subsidised ChemCERT AQF3 accreditation courses for cut flower growers as part of the Reducing Chemical and Plastic Use in the NSW Cut Flower Industry project. This nationally recognised training (AQF3 Chemical accreditation) covers:

• Safe storage and transport of chemicals (AHCCHM304)

• Safe and effective chemical use to control pests, weeds and diseases (AHCCHM307)

Successful participants receive a ChemCERT Card, valid for 5 years. This card is often needed to buy and use S7 AgVet chemicals unsupervised.

The cost is $100 per person, a sizeable discount on the standard price of $380. 

Only 12 spaces per location are available.  Please register your interest to be eligible. 

The Reducing Chemical and Plastic Use in the NSW Cut Flower Industry project is being coordinated by RMCG and is funded by AgriFutures Australia with support from the Australian and NSW Governments.
