Dangerous Goods Training in the Wollongong Region
The Illawarra region has a significant dangerous goods transport and storage footprint — from Port Kembla’s heavy industrial operations to chemical distribution across the Wollongong-Shellharbour corridor, and fuel distribution throughout the south coast. Drivers, warehouse workers, and logistics operators in the region need practical, locally-delivered DG training that understands this context.
Kells Safety Centre’s Wollongong training delivers exactly that — accredited, face-to-face dangerous goods training by trainers with direct experience in NSW transport compliance, ADG Code requirements, and EPA licensing.

Delivered over 2 days face-to-face in the Wollongong/Dapto area, running 7:15am to 3:30pm each day. The $618 course fee includes the NSW EPA licence application, document submission, and all EPA processing fees.
