Step 1

Register to attend one of our information sessions where you will be able to see exactly what it is we do and get a feel if this is something you would like to do.

If you do feel it is something you wish to proceed with you will then be given information to register. This will be the start of what we hope to be a long and enjoyable journey with Pegasus.

Step 2

Apply for your Working With Vulnerable People Card by registering online

This can take several weeks to be processed and is a good idea to get started on early.

It is free for volunteers, just nominate Riding for the Disabled of ACT as your place of choice.
