Common questions

In Australia, First Aiders are generally not paid for their work, unless it is part of your role in the workplace. You may be given some funds to cover your expenses but you will donate your time for free. First Aiders often have another job as well as their volunteer first aider role.

If you’d like to be able to provide first aid, consider enrolling in a Certificate III in Basic Health Care. You’ll learn techniques such as CPR, basic clinical care and critical infection control. You’ll also learn about sensitivities for cultural groups and emergency communication skills.

First Aider careers

If you're looking to kickstart your career in healthcare, the First Aider courses in Nelson Bay offer a vital foundation for anyone interested in providing emergency care. With 8 beginner-friendly courses available, you can choose from options such as the Provide First Aid HLTAID011 or the Certificate II in Medical Service First Response HLT21020. Renowned training providers in the area, including CST and Red Cross, ensure that you receive the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively in emergencies.

Completing a course in first aid not only prepares you for immediate response in critical situations but can also open doors to various job roles. After finishing your training, consider exploring careers as a Nursing Assistant or an Enrolled Nurse. These positions allow you to apply your first aid skills in real-world settings, providing essential support to patients and healthcare teams. If you're particularly drawn to emergency situations, a role as an Emergency Nurse or a Trauma Nurse may also appeal to you.

In addition to first aid training, further education in healthcare, such as pursuing courses in Nursing or Healthcare, expands your qualifications and career prospects. Whether you opt for Provide Basic Emergency Life Support HLTAID010 or Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) HLTAID009, your training with local providers like ETC Training Solutions will be invaluable. Preparing for a career in this rewarding field is just a step away with the right guidance and support from dedicated training organisations in Nelson Bay.
