Introduction to First Aid
What is the Introduction to First Aid?
The Introduction to First Aid is a short, high-impact awareness session intended for community groups, seniors, and individuals who want to be helpful in an emergency but may not need a formal qualification for work. This course covers the absolute essentials: how to assess a scene for danger, how to check if someone is breathing (the DRSABCD protocol), and how to manage common injuries like cuts, sprains, and minor burns. It is the perfect entry-point for anyone who wants to be a “good Samaritan” in their local community.
Why Every Citizen Needs Basic Skills
A resilient community is one where everyone knows the basics of first aid. In our regional areas—from the parks of Bathurst to the community halls of Lithgow and Cowra—the first person on the scene of an accident is rarely a doctor; it’s usually a neighbor or a passer-by. This “Intro” course is vital because it breaks down the barrier of fear. Many people are afraid to help because they “don’t want to do the wrong thing.” By teaching the basic principles of care, we empower the people of the Central West to look out for one another, potentially saving lives before professional help arrives.
