First Aid is what you can do to assist an injured person at the scene using only what is available under the prevailing circumstances. View Full Article...
This year I had to do a refresher course for my senior first aid, so I have chosen to do the Remote First Aid course.

It is a 2 day course over this weekend so when I get back I will let you know how it went, some of you that travel remote may be interested.

Cheers Steve.

Hi Steve,
As a massage therapist I have to do snr 1st aid every 3 yrs and CPR every 12mths - I have been told that you can do a one day refresher snr first aid instead of the 2 days I would be interested in your thoughts on the remote first aid and whether it will still qualify me with regards to my provider numbers for clients medical benefits.

Cheers

No a remote first aid course is different then a senior first aid course.

You have to have your senior first aid certificate before you do a remote course.

Difference in a senior to a remote is...

More monitoring of the patience condition, retrieval coordination, long term care and comfort, transportation and more in depth first aid.

If you hold a senior first aid certificate you have to do a refresher every 3 years as you said, before you had to do the whole course again over 2 days but not they do a refresher that is 1 day only.

You only have to have a senior first aid certificate to be reconised as a first aider under law, the remote part is a option for people who work or travel in remote areas.
