First Aider

A First Aider provides basic care to a casualty in an emergency situation. You’ll provide assistance such as treating a wound, attending to a bite or sting or providing CPR. You might provide first aid as part of your role at work, as a volunteer in the community or in your personal life in an emergency. First Aiders undertake training in the provision of basic emergency care.

First Aiders should be able to remain calm in a challenging situation. You’ll need to be flexible and able to respond to a range of situations. First Aiders should communicate well and be able to interact with people from a range of backgrounds. You must be able to follow correct procedures and understand instructions well.
