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.
There are currently no accurate figures for the number of people acting as First Aiders in Australia. This role may be part of employees’ roles at work or they may be volunteering their time to provide first aid in the community. First Aiders may be required across all regions of Australia.
