NALAG placement students have access to resources and education as part of becoming NALAG members, and they complete Basic Loss & Grief training which equips them with the skills required to effectively support someone who is grieving. With branches in Dubbo, Mudgee, Bellingen, Hunter and Sydney, our placement students support people from all over the country. These skills and training are great additions to your CV if you are transitioning into the workforce from study.
