Need Urgent Compliance Training at a Remote Site?

HR coordinators and site managers frequently need qualified first aid training at short notice, particularly when compliance audits, new rosters, or incident reporting requirements arise away from metro centres. As a sole operator, travel and deployment decisions are made quickly. Email [email protected] with your site location and required timeframe for a fast response on availability. Same-week deployment is often possible.

What This Course Covers

HLTAID013 covers everything in HLTAID011 and extends patient management for when emergency services are 30 or more minutes away. The course is delivered as scenario-based assessment in realistic group conditions where participants with basic first aid skills assist the advanced participant. This mirrors real-world conditions and is why duration varies between 8 and 12 hours. Refresher participants may complete faster. Full delivery always available on request.

  • Managing a remote scene and calling for help (satellite phone, EPIRB, Fly Doctor)
  • Oxygen therapy administration
  • Wound management for remote environments (infection risk, improvised dressings)
  • Fracture immobilisation and patient movement

Sole Trader Advantage for Mining and FIFO

As a sole trader, the cost of deploying a trainer to a remote or mine site is significantly lower than engaging a large provider. Accommodation and travel costs are factored into the quote but remain competitive. Additionally, a non-accredited Mental Health in the Workplace session can be delivered alongside HLTAID013 in the same visit, covering two compliance obligations without two separate mobilisations.

Frequently Asked Questions

HLTAID011 is suitable for people working in populated areas or close to hospitals. HLTAID013 is for remote or isolated sites where emergency services are more than 30 minutes away. It extends the skills in HLTAID011 and covers managing a patient for hours if necessary, including oxygen therapy, extended wound care, shock management, and communication with the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The assessment is scenario-based and mimics real remote conditions.
HLTAID011 is recommended but not a hard prerequisite. If you do not hold HLTAID011, additional assessment time is built into the 8-12 hour range to cover foundational skills.

The course uses a realistic scenario-based assessment where participants with basic first aid assist those being assessed. This means the training mirrors real-world team conditions and takes as long as needed to ensure competency. Refresher participants or experienced first aiders may progress faster. New participants or those combining HLTAID011 and HLTAID013 take longer. Full delivery is always available on request.
