Water Search Start up in NSW and Australia
After major flood events in 2022 a grant was submitted to gain funding for a capability yet to be seen in Australia, Water Search Dogs. Sue Pritchard the captain of the VRA Search Dogs had 48 hours to bring together a submission for a grant that ultimately was successful to undertake the VRA Water Search Dogs. The grant was for $65,000 and in 18 months had to have at least 5 VRA Water Search Dogs qualified. The team came together and overcame many obstacles to see this capability up and running as promised.
