· Take and record all students’ temperatures on entry – anything higher than the normal range of 36°C -37°C (as per QLD Health standards) will be refused entry into the course. Any client who attends a class with flu like symptoms will be asked by the trainer to leave and will forfeit their booking.

First Aid Course Testimonials from Brisbane Clients
“We had the pleasure of having our CPR and First Aid updated by First Aid Action.
Luella, the trainer was more than helpful with meeting the requirements of all individuals on the day who ranged from first time to refresher. Luella’s knowledge was vast and she spoke in laymans terms so that all could understand what the expectations were.
The equipment used was in good order and easy to use, the scenarios for incidents were well thought out and all individuals on the day reported having learned many things.
I would recommend First Aid Action to any business or persons who are looking to upskill or refresh. We are going to use them again.”
Shane M – HSE Coordinator
“I just wanted to congratulate you on a great first aid course. I have been attending first aid courses for 22 years and was a flight attendant for Ansett for eight years, where first aid was part of my daily life.
In my experience your delivery of what can sometimes be a very dry and information rich content was done in a professional, informative and interactive way. I have spoken to many of my colleagues and we all feel the same way. It’s not often I put pen to paper, however in your case I wanted to ensure that you received this feedback.”
Samantha – Operations Readiness Coordinator | Australia Pacific LNG Project – Pipelines
“I found the first aid course run by Luella Charles for First Aid Action was presented in a enthusiastic and informative manner. More importantly, Luella was able to cover all the aspects of first aid and CPR in one day instead of two, saving me valuable time. I would not hestitate to recommend her first aid courses to my family, friends and colleagues.”
Luke Physiotherapist, Physioactive (Ipswich)
“The training courses that Luella delivers are first class. Her knowledgeable, energetic and engaging style ensures that every participant is actively involved in the learning process and completes the course with genuine life saving skills.
