‘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 which aims to address fears and phobias, through education and increased awareness.

We currently offer two types of ‘Fearless' courses, one for spiders and one for reptiles.

The program is delivered by Warrick Angus, a specialist from Taronga Conservation Society Australia, along with ‘Mind Training' delivered 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 and educated manner when encountering these animals.
  • To provide a fascinating educational experience detailing the benefits and values of these animals in and amongst our homes.

With over 300 successful participants and a 99% 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.
