The difference is WHY...

We wanted to bring fire training to the market that allowed for the hard-of-hearing and deaf community to have the same fire training and understanding that the wider community always had access to. So, we developed an Auslan version of First Response Instruction. What we found is we could deliver both Auslan and hearing versions in the same platform. Online First Response Instruction or OFRI was born. Via our research and to our knowledge, OFRI is the first fire training organisation to deliver online Auslan fire safety training, and we are extremely proud of this.

We offer the Auslan community free access to this online training via the speaking community paying a very reasonable fee in a commercial purchase. The speaking community are assisting the non-speaking communities by choosing OFRI as their preferred method of training their workers, and we think this is just wonderful that we can all partner together to help each other with training we all benefit from. A collaboration with respect, understanding and appreciation.

With this, we sincerely thank you all for your support by using OFRI, and your ongoing commitment in sourcing those businesses out there that are making a positive difference, in the world and for the benefit of others.

Husband and wife team, Danny and Tracie McLees, are passionate about being of service to others. Making little tweaks to better things, processes, and behaviours. We welcome your feedback and your partnership for choosing and using OFRI. Please meet and consider our suppliers that we partnered with to deliver OFRI to market. They’re good folk.
