Workplace First Aid Training
This is not your average First Aid Training. CareFlight onsite First Aid Training and CPR Training gives your team compliance, competence and confidence in the event of an emergency.
Staggeringly, only 31% of Australians feel confident responding to a workplace first aid emergency and only 13% of Australian workplaces are compliant with all core elements of the First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice.
Having a team that knows what to do in the event of an emergency can not only save the life of one of your staff members, but also potentially save the life of one of their loved ones.
That is why we’ve taken what we’ve learned from training over 7,500 first responders from organisations including SES, Police, Fire and Rescue; and implemented it into our Workplace First Aid Training and CPR Courses (HLTAID011 and HLTAID009).
