First Aid For All
Our long-term goal is one first-aid-trained person in every household, starting with an Upper Hunter community pilot and building from what works.
Make foundational first-aid knowledge easier to access.
Emergencies can happen anywhere. First Aid For All is being developed to increase community exposure to practical first-aid concepts and help more households feel prepared to act while professional help is on the way.
The program is intended to complement, not replace, accredited first-aid training. Where a session is awareness-based rather than accredited, that will be stated clearly.
Prepared people can make a difference in the minutes that matter.First Aid For All
Practical community sessions.
Subject to final partners, funding and delivery arrangements, pilot activities are expected to focus on short, accessible sessions such as:
CPR awareness
Recognising an emergency, calling for help and understanding the basic sequence of CPR.
AED familiarisation
Reducing uncertainty around automated external defibrillators and how they guide users.
Choking response
Awareness of common choking scenarios and the importance of acting quickly and appropriately.
Bleeding control
Basic awareness of immediate actions while emergency services are being contacted.
Participation
Number of people trained or reached through awareness activities.
Household reach
Number of participating households that identify a first-aid-trained person.
Confidence
Simple post-session feedback on confidence and understanding.
Measure more than attendance.
A successful program should create useful knowledge, stronger confidence and broader household coverage, not just count seats.
As the pilot develops, ACFP intends to publish appropriate outcome information so partners and funders can see what the program is achieving.
Could you help deliver or support the pilot?
We are interested in hearing from qualified first-aid educators, health professionals, community organisations, sponsors and venues.
