Learn the fundamental first aid skills that could save a life, from assessing an emergency to performing CPR and treating common injuries.
A comprehensive guide to building, organising, and maintaining a first aid kit that's always ready when you need it most.
From bushwalks to beach days, learn how to handle the unique first aid challenges of the Australian outdoors.
A basic first aid kit should contain adhesive bandages, sterile gauze, adhesive tape, antiseptic wipes, scissors, tweezers, disposable gloves, a CPR mask, pain relievers, and a first aid manual. For Australian conditions, consider adding a snake bite bandage and burn gel.
Yes, all workplace first aid kits we recommend comply with Safe Work Australia guidelines and Australian Standards. Home and personal kits may vary, but we indicate compliance status for each product.
Check your first aid kit every 6 months and replace any expired items. Most items have a 3-5 year shelf life. Replace the entire kit if the case is damaged or after 5-7 years of use.
Workplace kit size depends on employee count and risk level. Low-risk offices need 1 kit per 50 workers. High-risk environments need 1 kit per 25 workers. We recommend consulting Safe Work Australia guidelines for your specific industry.
