Class 356 was the last Class that were required to supply a Typing Competency Certificate upon application to join the NSWPF.
The removal of having to supply a Typing Certificate was brought about because the question was asked about why, in the age of everything ‘computers’ & ‘mobile phones’ was a Typing Certificate required.
As a result, on a Trial basis, Class’s 357, 358 & 359 were not required to supply a Typing Certificate upon application to join the NSWPF.

STEPHEN is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance *NEED MORE INFO
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
STEPHEN Bromhead, member for the state electorate of Myall Lakes, sadly passed away on Thursday 16 March after a battle with mesothelioma.
The Hon. Stephen Bromhead served for the last twelve years in the Myall State electorate.
Mr Bromhead, who had been the Member for Myall Lakes since 2011, had earlier announced his retirement ahead of the forthcoming State election due to ill health.
During his time in the NSW Parliament he served as the Nationals Whip, Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Transport and Roads and the Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Housing.
He was the President of the NSW Parliamentary Lions Club and served on a number of parliamentary committees.
This was in addition to the many roles he held in previous public life as a nurse, police officer, local government councillor and solicitor to name but a few.
Many past and present staff as well as local dignitaries have expressed their best wishes at his passing.
MidCoast Council Mayor Claire Pontin expressed her condolences at the passing of Mr Stephen Bromhead MP.
Flags at Council’s Administration and Customer Service Centre, Yalawanyi Ganya, Taree were flown at half-mast last Friday as a mark of respect.
“Mr Bromhead was a strong advocate for the MidCoast community during his term and is responsible for the allocation of funds to many community projects and facilities in our region,” said Mayor Pontin.
The Deputy Premier of NSW the Hon. Paul Toole also expressed his deepest sympathies.
“Yesterday I lost a colleague and a mate – and the people of Myall Lakes lost one of their most passionate advocates,” said Mr Toole.
“Stephen Bromhead devoted a lifetime to serving his community; as a registered nurse and police officer, as a volunteer firefighter and in his almost twelve years as the Member for Myall Lakes.
“Especially, Mr Bromhead was passionate over many years to bring better services to his electorate.
“No one has fought harder to ensure the people of Myall Lakes get the health services they deserve and his death will be felt throughout the community.
“In Taree, where they’ll remember his fight to upgrade Manning Base Hospital.
“In Forster, where his legacy will be a public hospital, and in Old Bar, where we’re building a new ambulance station,” said Mr Toole.
In his last speech to parliament when it came time to say his goodbyes last year, rather than just listing his many achievements, he used it to say thank you for the privilege of being able to serve.
“It’s testament to the character of Brommy,” said Mr Toole.
“He set a shining example as someone who fought passionately for what mattered to his community and when that fight was won, went straight into battle on the next issue.”
Tributes flow for NSW Nationals MP Stephen Bromhead who lost his battle with cancer aged 66

Nationals member for New South Wales’ Myall Lakes Stephen Bromhead has died aged 66 following a battle with cancer.
The long-serving MP announced his retirement from politics last August after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by inhaling asbestos particles.
Mr Bromhead had represented the Mid North Coast electorate since 2011 and was highly respected in the Nationals.

His death was announced on Friday, just 10 days before what would have been the 12-year anniversary of his election as representative of Myall Lakes.
Tributes for Mr Bromhead were led by NSW Nationals leader and Deputy NSW Premier Paul Toole.
Affectionately referring to the late Mr Bromhead as “Brommy”, Mr Toole said he had lost both a “colleague and a mate.”
“Brommy, like me, was part of the class of Nats MPs who entered Parliament in 2011 determined to make a difference,” he said on Friday.
“He did not disappoint.
“No one has fought harder to ensure the people of Myall Lakes get the health services they deserve and his death will be felt throughout the community.
“In Taree, where they’ll remember his fight to upgrade Manning Base Hospital. In Forster, where his legacy will be a public hospital. And in Old Bar, where we’re building a new ambulance station.”
Mr Toole also praised his late friend’s humility saying it was a “testament to the character of Brommy that when it came time to say his goodbyes to the Parliament last year that rather than just list his many achievements, he used it to say thank you for the privilege of being able to serve.”
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said Mr Bromhead was the “quintessential Nationals member” who had dedicated himself to making sure regional NSW got its fair share.
“Stephen was a highly respected and valued member of Parliament. In the party-room and in the chamber, he always brought colour and life,” he said.
“Given his early career in health, it is fitting that Stephen’s great legacy can be seen in the major upgrades to health facilities he delivered for his community, among many other important achievements.”

Mr Bromhead’s federal counterpart Lyne MP David Gillespie remembered him as a “gentle giant” who provided guidance when they first met during the 2010 national election campaign.
“I met him on the hustings, he was a great help, a true friend and he stood by his principles,” he said.
Labor leader Chris Minns said the passing of Mr Bromhead was deeply saddening.
“I want to pass on the commiserations of myself and NSW Labor not just to Stephen’s family including his wife Sue, but to the community he worked so hard for and loved so much,” he said.
Mr Bromhead, who died on Thursday, is survived by his wife Sue and their seven children.

NSW Nationals MP Stephen Bromhead, 66, died on Thursday after a brave battle with killer mesothelioma.
The state member for Myall Lakes, north of Newcastle, announced in August he would be standing down at this month’s state election to focus on his health.
The rare cancer is normally associated with the asbestos industry and is linked to ingesting or breathing in asbestos fibres.
‘Somewhere in my background I’ve come into contact with fibro,’ he revealed last year.
In his valedictory speech in Parliament, he added: ‘I do not want anyone to think that this is a case of someone who is tired, does not want to be a local member, and is giving up.
‘It is simply the case that I have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, which means I cannot put 100 per cent into the job.’
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet revealed the awful moment the former Nationals whip revealed his devastating illness.
‘When Stephen first shared the news of his diagnosis, it came as a huge shock to all of us,’ he admitted.
‘Stephen’s grace and strength over the past year has been an inspiration to so many, and I know he has served as an extraordinary mentor to many Nationals members and to his staff over that time and throughout his career.’
The former nurse and detective – who served in the NSW Parliament for 12 years – is survived by his wife Sue and their seven children.
‘Stephen was the quintessential Nationals member, dedicated wholly to making sure the people of Myall Lakes – and all of regional NSW – got their fair share,’ said the premier
‘While he was naturally a warm and welcoming person, as the Nationals’ Whip Stephen made good use of the fearsome tenacity learned in his former career as a detective.
‘Stephen was a highly respected and valued member of Parliament. In the party-room and in the chamber, he always brought colour and life.’
Mr Bromhead was renowned for fighting for improved health facilities in his area which will be his lasting legacy to voters, said the premier.
‘Given his early career in health, it is fitting that Stephen’s great legacy can be seen in the major upgrades to health facilities he delivered for his community, among many other important achievements,’ he said.
‘The Manning Base Hospital redevelopment, a new ambulance station at Forster and construction of one underway at Old Bar, and a commitment to deliver a public hospital for the Forster community mean Stephen’s contribution will continue to have a positive impact on the Myall Lakes community for many decades to come.
‘Stephen leaves a proud and lasting legacy: a credit to the man and to his dedication to the people of Myall Lakes right to the end.
‘Stephen will be dearly missed, and we wish his wife Sue and his family and friends every comfort at this difficult time.’

FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
DARWIN: A policeman drowned at the weekend after the patrol car he was travelling in rolled off a wharf at Darwin.
Police said yesterday that Detective Sergeant Ian Bradford, 37, and his partner were patrolling the Old Fort Hill wharf at 11.30pm on Saturday when their patrol car rolled off the edge of the dark pier.
Sergeant Bradford‘s partner, who was driving, struggled back to shore and was treated for shock and lacerations.
Police divers recovered Sergeant Bradford‘s body just after midnight. He is survived by his wife, Dianne, and three children.
Police said a report on the incident had been submitted to the Coroner.
Detective Sergeant Second Class Ian BRADFORD was a passenger in a CIB vehicle which was patrolling the Darwin wharf area just prior to midnight on the 28 January 1984.
The Wharf was being extended to join up with another section and was incomplete.
The vehicle went over the edge between the two wharves.
The driver, Detective Jon HAYES, managed to get out of the sinking car, and although he dived down several times to try to extricate the passenger, Detective Bradford was knocked unconscious and drowned inside the police vehicle.
Detective Sergeant Bradford joined the NT Police Force on 19 February 1973 and served in Darwin and Alyangula.
Ian and his partner, Jon Hayes were patrolling the Darwin Wharf area just prior to midnight on 28 January ( 1984 ), when their police car drove off the Fort Hill wharf, which was under construction.
Despite Jon’s valiant efforts Ian drowned. He left behind his wife, Di, and three young children – Philip, Graham and Paula.
Thank you for your service.
There is no doubt that, Jon, being the driver of the police vehicle at the time of the accident at Darwin Wharf, ( in January 1984 ) which resulted in the drowning death of his policing partner, Ian Bradford, weighed very heavily upon the mind of Jon at the time leading up to Jon‘s suicide in 1997.
Even 13 years after the accident, I know that it weighs very heavy upon the mind.
May Jon Forever Rest In Peace.
