Suitable for parents, caregivers, community groups, sports clubs, volunteers, workplaces that do not require a nationally recognised qualification, and anyone wanting practical first aid skills for everyday life.

 

Price: $150 per person

Choose your format:

• In-person: 6 hours of practical learning

For workplaces, community organisations, and private groups, content can be customised to reflect your environment, activities, and common risks.
