About the Awards

Australian First Aid has established the annual Australian First Aid Awards in recognition of outstanding performance of first aid and resuscitation by trained First Aiders.

The Awards also recognise the invaluable contribution of employers who strive to achieve a safer workplace through the provision of quality first aid facilities and training for their staff.

Recognition of First Aiders

We believe the commitment, courage and excellence demonstrated by First Aiders in the saving of a life or attending to challenging medical conditions and injuries should be recognised and rewarded beyond the gratitude of the person who received the emergency care and their family. These awards will honour the outstanding efforts of First Aiders who apply first aid in difficult circumstances.

Recognition of Employers

We also believe that employers should receive formal recognition for their investment and the contribution made to the safety of their employees, clients and other visitors to their workplace. These awards will honour employers who set an exemplary standard in providing for first aid in their workplace.
