For building first aiders
All building first aiders must have a current first aid certificate. First Aid training is run via external Registered Training Organisations and certificates are valid for three years.
Current building first aiders will be contacted prior to their renewal expiry with details on how to book training.
If supervisors believe that there is a need for more staff in their area to be trained they should contact their area First Aid Coordinator in the first instance.
Building first aiders training is coordinated and arranged by the Senior WHS Advisor, Karen Hayden karen.hayden@flinders.edu.au (ext 13117)
For University-related activities
All University events and field activities must have an appropriate number of suitably qualified first aiders and adequately stocked and maintained first aid kits.
When the field trip is in an area where emergency services may be delayed or it would be difficult to access help (e.g. remote or difficult to access sites), a remote first aid kit must be carried and a member of the field trip group must have remote first aid training or access to such a person must be available.
Remote first aid refresher training can be organised, please contact your college WHS officer for more information.
Our preferred Registered Training Organisations are:
St John Ambulance SA
Australian Red Cross
University-related activities that require additional first aiders are not resourced by the WHS Unit.
