First Aid Guidelines

Hi Everyone,

Medical Emergencies are statistically the most common emergency that we will encounter in our lives. In 2006 there were 16000 domestic fires in Qld, however during the same 12 month period the Queensland Ambulance Service attended almost 400 000 medical emergencies. This illustrates the importance of keeping our First Aid skills up to date.

At DELTRA Australia we pride ourselves with keeping our First Aid skills up to date. Paul is an Officer & Instructor with St John Ambulance Qld & Bryn is a former St John Instructor also. All of the First Aid training that DELTRA Australia offers to our customers (CPR, Basic First Aid, Senior First Aid, Low Voltage Rescue, Advanced First Aid & Occupational First Aid) is conducted in accordance with the latest guidelines from the Australian Resuscitation Council.

The ARC feature the latest guidelines on their website.

We do not teach outdated methodologies such as the Heimlich manoeuvre or Expired Air Resuscitation.

If you have any questions related to First Aid treatment or training, please feel free to give us a call on 07 3274 6199.
