HLTAID013 Provide First Aid in Remote and Isolated Sites
What is Remote First Aid?
The HLTAID013 Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Sites is an advanced course for those who work or play where the “golden hour” of medical response isn’t guaranteed. When you are in the deep bushland surrounding Lithgow or on a remote station outside of Cowra, you can’t just wait 10 minutes for an ambulance. This course teaches you how to manage a casualty for several hours or even days. You will learn about prolonged casualty care, advanced immobilization, improvised stretchers, and the use of emergency communication equipment like PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) and satellite phones.The Vital Nature of Remote Skills
In our region, many industries operate in isolation—forestry, mining, agriculture, and outdoor tourism. A simple broken leg that would be a minor issue in Bathurst city can become life-threatening in a remote valley due to shock or exposure. HLTAID013 bridges that gap. It teaches you how to triage multiple patients, manage limited resources, and coordinate a complex evacuation. It is the ultimate “survival” first aid course for those who take their safety seriously in the great outdoors.Excellence in Remote Training
