HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in remote or isolated site

Providing a lifesaving first aid response in a remote or isolated site where medical assistance may be delayed, or evacuation is required, requires specific instruction and practical training.

The course teaches preparation for first aid emergencies based on the site and in line with legal and workplace requirements, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.

You will learn to assess a casualty, provide safety, contact and relay initial and concise information to assist emergency services to your location, undertake triage for multiple casualties and provide ongoing care.

Instruction on basic first aid and CPR will be provided, as well as treatments specific to remote conditions, such as hypothermia or hyperthermia, head, neck and spinal injuries, using tourniquets and haemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, and managing a casualty in shock.

The course covers completing incident documentation and debriefing, recognising areas for improvement, psychological impacts, the potential need for stress management and support, and seeking help as required.
