Careers

The Outdoor Recreation sector includes nature-based tourism, camps and outdoor education, adventure therapy, and a full range of outdoor recreational activities such as cycling, fishing, bushwalking, canoeing, surfing, climbing and many others. While some of these activities may be considered a sport, there are many people who participate in them without association with a team, club or competition. The natural environment is typically a central component of an outdoor recreational activity. It is also noted that outdoor learning may occur in the absence of formal outdoor recreation education, through experiences rather than adherence to curriculum.

Outdoor recreation and education programs are delivered in a variety of venues, some in and around major tourist areas and natural heritage sites within an hour of capital cities. Others operate out of residential centres or are journey-based and explore areas that are only accessible by foot or boat.
