The process recognises the merit of the individual not the training process.


To be a PAP one must:

  • Be an organisation (e.g.incorporated body, company, university, entity etc.) OR an individual approved by the National NOLRS Sub Committee and ratified by the OCA Board.
  • Provide a Certificate of Currency for Public Liability (indemnifying the Outdoor Council of Australia) and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
  • Have clearly documented assessment processes.
  • Have documented minimum qualification/skill requirements for assessors.
  • Have documented review procedures of assessment.
  • Have formal assessment record keeping procedures.
  • The National NOLRS office of the OCA will also maintain records.


PAP's are authorised by the OCA to assess the current competence of outdoor leaders seeking registration in the National Outdoor Leader Registration Scheme.
