As outlined by Work Safe Australia, CPR units of competency should be updated annually and other first aid units should be refreshed every 3 years. If you currently hold your CPR or First Aid Units of Competency please visit our refresher courses

Work Safe Australia has developed a First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice to provide practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on what training should be completed. This includes workplaces that are outdoors, mobile or remote. To download a copy of the code of practice go here.(https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-10/code_of_practice_-_first_aid_in_the_workplace_July%202019.pdf) In summary First Aiders should attend training through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), to obtain relevant nationally recognised statements of attainment. Provide First Aid provides competencies required to recognise and respond to common life-threatening injuries or illnesses, including life-support using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and to manage the casualty and incident until the arrival of medical or other assistance. In low risk workplaces, first aiders are sufficiently trained if they can perform CPR and treat minor illnesses and injuries. Provide Advanced First Aid – provides additional competencies required to apply advanced first aid procedures. This type of training is suitable for some high risk workplaces. Provide First Aid in Remote Situations – provides the competencies required to administer first aid in a remote and/or isolated situation, including preparing for aero-medical evacuation. This type of training is suitable for high risk workplaces that are likely to have a major delay in accessing emergency services The Nationally Recognised Skill Set SISSS00126 'Wilderness First Aid' contains 3 units of competency that determine this skill set. Therefor a Wilderness First Aid Course should include all of these units of competency. The skill set can be download here.(https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/SISSS00126)

Survive First Aid Courses contain a lot of practical scenarios and demonstrations which will be conducted outside. During these scenarios you will be required to be a patient and therefor be asked to lay on the ground and have stage makeup applied for effective wounds etc. Please therefor wear comfortable appropriate clothing for all weather possibilities which will get dirty. Survive will supply training resources however if you would like to bring any extra spare old clothing, walking poles, duct tape etc it might help you building splints and keep your patient comfortable.
