Challenging situations, such as multiple casualty incidents, having to move or extricate casualties, or treating potentially fatal illnesses and injuries, are high risk. It is imperative that training occurs so that one knows what to do when confronted with a real-life incident.

This advanced first aid Canberra course provides practical, simulated real-life situations to learn and gain the confidence to coordinate and manage a response and provide advanced first aid in line with legal, community, and workplace considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, and other Australian national peak clinical bodies until emergency services arrive. 

Instruction on basic first aid and CPR will be provided, as well as treatments specific to advanced conditions, such as hypothermia or hyperthermia, head, neck and spinal injuries, using tourniquets and haemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, and managing a casualty in shock.

The course covers recording casualty conditions, completing workplace incident documentation, and debriefing to recognise areas for improvement, understand psychological impacts, and seek help as required.
