Happy Canberra Day Long Weekend! 🎈🏕️
Planning a BBQ at Lake Burley Griffin, a trip to the coast, or heading to the Canberra Day celebrations at Commonwealth Park this weekend?
Long weekends are for making memories, but they also mean busier roads and crowded events. It’s the perfect time to ask yourself: "Am I prepared if something goes wrong?"
From treating a minor burn at the grill to knowing how to handle an emergency on a hiking trail, first aid skills are the best thing you can pack this weekend.
Don't wait until you need it! We have spots available next week at our Belconnen facility to get you certified and confident:
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid – The essential all-rounder.
HLTAID009 CPR Express – Stay compliant and ready to help.
Stay safe, Canberra! Enjoy the extra day off. ☀️
📍 Located at Oatley Court, Belconnen (above Bint Restaurant).

Lucky Rory saved by the door-prize defibrillator | Canberra CityNews Sixteen-year-old Rory Pittman wouldn’t be alive were it not for a defibrillator that had been won by the Queanbeyan and District Basketball Association as a “lucky door prize” three weeks before he collapsed during a basketball game.
Allergies and Anaphylaxis are topics we cover in our classes, and, surprisingly, many people are unsure about the difference between a mild and a severe reaction.
This paramedic/ emergency nurse provides a good video explaining the differences in the same way we talk about it in our classes: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1B3H3okQti/

🚑 Why Shorter First Aid Courses Help Create More Confident Emergency Responders
When someone’s life is on the line, we don’t just need people with certificates; we need people who know what to do and feel confident doing it.
That’s why we’re rethinking how first aid is taught. At Local First Aid Courses, we take a different approach to our training. We want people to feel good about learning first aid.
💡 Instead of long, overwhelming courses, we focus on short, practical learning bursts, a teaching method that keeps people engaged and helps them remember what they learn.
Here’s what that looks like:
✅ Quick lessons (e.g. 30 minutes for the CPR practical session)
✅ Hands-on practice straight after learning
✅ Scenario-based learning for real-life application
✅ Regular check-ins to build confidence
This approach, also known as “chunk and chew,” helps learners stay focused, take in information more effectively, and walk away ready to act when it matters most.
People trained this way are more likely to:
✔️ Retain key skills
✔️ Stay calm in emergencies
✔️ Step in to help — not freeze up
We’ve been using this method in our courses, and the results have been incredible. 💬
If you’ve ever considered taking a first aid course (or sending your team for training), now’s the time, and this new approach might be just what your staff needs.

Sometimes, CPR has to be provided by emergency teams on the run. Check out this amazing training video where emergency people must be able to provide CPR while being moved to a hospital.
