SALT Training Academy, led by Brent Lethbridge, has been recognised with the Local Impact Award in the Allens Training Partner Awards — a fitting acknowledgment of the academy’s powerful contribution to the Port Macquarie region.

For Brent, this award reflects far more than business success — it represents service, heart, and connection.

“Our name SALT stands for Safety And Lifesaving Techniques,” Brent explains. “Giving people the confidence and practical skills to protect the gift of life for themselves and their loved ones is at the heart of our vision. Being recognised in our first year of operation is such an encouragement to my family and me. It means that the hard work and focus we’ve placed on personalised service and high-quality education is truly making an impact in our community.”

Building Confidence and Capacity Locally
Before SALT Training Academy opened, local options for first aid and safety training in Port Macquarie were limited. Brent saw an opportunity to provide local training by locals for locals — ensuring that high-quality, experience-backed education was accessible to everyone.

With small group sizes, flexible delivery, and regular class availability, SALT has quickly become a trusted name across multiple industries, empowering individuals and businesses alike with confidence and essential lifesaving skills.
