Fearless at Taronga is the first course of its kind offered in Australia and has proven to be a huge success!

Fearless at Taronga is a short course that addresses fears and phobias through education and increased awareness. We currently offer two courses, one for spiders and one for reptiles.

Future course dates yet to be confirmed

The program is delivered by Warrick Angus, a specialist from Taronga, along with Mind Training by Alistair Horscroft, Director of The Mind Institute, providing a variety of professional techniques.

Key objectives of the program are:

• To dismiss many myths about these animals.
• To give participants the skills to respond in a rational manner when encountering these animals.
• To provide a fascinating educational experience detailing the benefits and value of these animals in our homes.

With over 300 successful participants and a 99 per cent success rate, Taronga Zoo is extremely excited about the Fearless at Taronga program, and we are looking forward to helping many more people overcome their fears.
