First Aid Crash Course

Have you ever been in a position where you were required to render first aid? If there was a first aid emergency would you know what to do?

St John Ambulance Western Australia have set up a free Online Crash Course to get you up to speed on what to do in an emergency. This 30 minute course could help you save a life.


Click on the link or image above to be taken to the Online Crash Course.

Register for the course and fill out the required details, then you can start the course. The course is interactive, as you can see from the image below you are given the option to go through the course with sound or with subtitles.



The online course takes you through the major features of First Aid in an emergency and consists of lots of interactive activities and an online quiz to test your understanding.



One thing I will mention is they are yet to update the new protocol od DRSABCD but this certainly isn't a deal breaker. If you aren't aware of the new protocol take a look at the image below which is available from the St John website:



This is a great initiative of St John Ambulance Western Australia and I recommend everyone should log on and take a look at this FREE course. Although I recommend if people have the time and money they should go along to a full Apply First Aid Course as the skills you will learn in a classroom are invaluable. If you are interested in finding a course near you please check out the St John website or contact St John Australia on 1300 360 455.

A Quick Update

So it has been a while since my last post. I have been super busy with work, uni and my community engagements! Now this weekend I am involved in a blog writing workshop so I thought now was a great time to get going on my lastest blog posts - I have lots of ideas and not enough time to sit down and write them!

This weekend we have the Fringe Festival in Katherine - first one for the town and so far it has been great! I have met some interesting people and caught up with friends. Last night was the opening night with a Fire Show in the town square and it was very entertaining! If you are in Katherine be sure to get out and view some of the events going on around town!

Well that is all for my update at the moment. I will be working on my next review so stay tuned for that!
