Open Award Centres

An Open Award Centre is a way for you to complete the Award when the Award is not offered at your school or local organisation. Open Award Centres can also support you if you have left school or your current Award Unit and are wanting to complete your Award.

An Open Award Centre has a license to run the Award which means:

  • There is a trained Award Leader who is police vetted by the Award every two years and who can provide information and support to participants completing the Award.
  • The Open Award Centre has confirmed that they:
    • Have a Safety Management in Place
    • Have a Child Protection Policy in Place
    • Work in accordance with Ara Taiohi Code of Ethics
