I'm a member of the Arapiles Rescue Group. The team do training sessions and exercises on a regular basis. We attend actual operations on a (thankfully) less frequent basis.

When I have time and we have enough other helper instructors, the VCC runs a Self Rescue courses for their members: http://vicclimb.org.au/courses/

The ACIA includes self rescue and rescue of seconds, from memory in the Multipitch Guide (MPG) level and leader rescue in Climbing Instructor (CI) level: http://www.acia.com.au/

If the scheduling of the courses above didn't suit or you wanted a more tailored course, you could also hire a guide for a day or two. Probably worth mentioning when you book that you want to do self rescue stuff rather than just go climbing.
