Enquire →Australia's workplace first aid standard — and the one most employers require. Our face-to-face delivery goes well beyond compliance, equipping your team to confidently assess emergencies, manage casualties, and act decisively until help arrives. Delivered on-site at your workplace by trainers with real emergency backgrounds. Meets ARC guidelines and Safe Work Australia requirements.
Mandatory for childcare workers, educators, and OOSH staff — and genuinely useful for anyone working with children. Goes beyond standard first aid to cover infant and child CPR, anaphylaxis and adrenaline auto-injector use, asthma management, febrile seizures, and implementing emergency action plans specific to education and care settings. Delivered on-site at your centre by trainers with real emergency experience.
When the ambulance is hours away, you need more than standard first aid. Designed for mining, oil and gas, marine, construction, and remote community workers, this course builds the skills to manage casualties over extended periods — patient monitoring, wound management, improvised treatment, evacuation planning, and decision-making without medical backup. Scenario-based training reflecting real remote conditions.
The next level above standard first aid — for designated workplace first aid officers, occupational health staff, and those in higher-risk industries. Covers complex trauma management, major bleeding control, fractures, burns, shock, detailed patient assessment, and clinical handover. Duration is 1–2 days depending on your team's prior knowledge and experience. Delivered on-site with immersive scenario-based training.
For first aid officers who need to go beyond basic CPR — including those in healthcare, aged care, remote settings, and high-risk workplaces. Covers advanced airway management including oropharyngeal airways, bag-valve mask resuscitation, suction, and safe administration of oxygen at correct flow rates. Fully aligned with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. Annual renewal required to maintain currency.
For workplace first aid coordinators, HSE managers, and those responsible for maintaining first aid systems across an organisation. Covers conducting risk assessments, determining the right resources, equipment and personnel, first aid kit inspections, stock management, developing first aid action plans, and post-incident debriefing. Ensures your organisation meets WHS regulatory requirements and the first aid Code of Practice — not just on paper, but in practice.
The complete advanced first aid package — HLTAID014 and HLTAID015 combined in a single intensive program. Covers complex trauma, major bleeding, advanced airway management, oxygen therapy, bag-valve mask, and oropharyngeal airways. Meets the full HLTSS00068 occupational first aid skill set requirement. Ideal for remote workers, occupational health staff, and high-risk industries requiring the highest level of first aid certification. The following units will be included in your certificate:
Built for industries where help is hours away — mining, oil and gas, marine, defence, remote communities, and expedition work. This course combines advanced first aid, remote casualty management, and oxygen therapy into a single comprehensive qualification. You'll leave able to manage life-threatening emergencies, administer oxygen, insert airway adjuncts, apply tourniquets and haemostatic dressings, and maintain a casualty until evacuation.
All training is delivered through immersive scenario-based simulation designed to replicate the real conditions, pressures, and decision-making demands of remote emergency response. Aligned with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and national peak clinical body standards. The following units will be included in your certificate:
A step above standard first aid — for workplaces and roles where oxygen therapy capability is required alongside core first aid skills.

Delivered through immersive scenario-based training aligned with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and Safe Work Australia requirements.

Excellent and professional trainer, smooth access to pre course learning materials and assessment. Received certification promptly. Thank you, looking forward to my next refresher.
Our staff enjoyed the training courses that were delivered these last two weeks. I received great feedback regarding our trainers Chris and Kevin. Personally I would like to thank Jose for all her assistance and help coordinating the courses for us, it was a bit challenging at times.

Professional first aid training equipment for hire to RTOs, trainers, and organisations. Background checks and photo ID required prior to hire.
One of the major developments in first aid training was the introduction of lifelike manikins and equipment, enabling students to realistically learn mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and CPR.
Manikins and equipment are incredibly useful for first aid training. Used to teach essential skills like CPR, they let students experience what it really feels like to perform chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth, and other life-saving techniques.
We stock a wide range of manikins and equipment. From classic QCPR manikins to artificial lungs and simulated blood, we have all of the products and accessories you need to bring your students' first aid skills up to standard. Most of the manikins and related products in our range are manufactured by Laerdal, though we also stock some items from Kenji.
To learn more about our range of manikins, or the other products in our collection, contact us via our enquiry page.
Our Laerdal QCPR manikins provide real-time CPR feedback displayed on projectors, phone apps, and iPads — the same equipment used by WCFAT in all our accredited courses. Multi-day and bulk discounts available.
