Here at Australia Wide First Aid, we are committed to the safety of our students, their loved ones, and the wider community.

As such, in line with current government guidelines, we recommend students adhere to the following safety measures before or during their first aid course:

Practise good hygiene – wash your hands often for 20 seconds with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser
Clean and sanitise any surfaces or objects you use
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
Get tested and stay home if you have any cold or flu symptoms
Stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations
