About this training
Workplace first aid planning starts with understanding your people, tasks and potential emergency situations. Safety Training Finder connects employers with providers to discuss first aid training; it does not deliver or assess courses. Ask the provider how practical activities, participant needs and assessment requirements relate to the course being proposed.
Nationally recognised training may be requested where delivered by an appropriately authorised provider. Where a course is presented as nationally recognised, verify the organisation and its scope on training.gov.au. The provider must confirm the exact unit or qualification offered, relevant credentials, assessment arrangements and availability before you book your workforce.

Frequently asked questions
Is the proposed course nationally recognised?+
Nationally recognised training depends on delivery by an appropriately authorised provider. Verify the organisation and its scope on training.gov.au; the actual provider must confirm credentials, availability and the exact unit or qualification offered before you book.
Can all learning and assessment take place online?+
Do not assume an online request covers every practical or assessment requirement. Ask the actual provider to explain participation arrangements, required demonstrations and any in person components, and confirm their credentials and availability before committing to a format.
Can workplace scenarios be included?+
You can request scenarios relevant to your workforce, but the provider must confirm suitability within the exact course and assessment requirements. Confirm the actual provider credentials, availability, equipment arrangements and any participant preparation before booking.
