David's LinkedIn Profile

Our Big Why

David has always believed that one of the greatest things you can do in life is help someone in their worst moment, whether you know them or not.Over the years, he has seen how important those first few minutes are before emergency services arrive. He’s also seen how many people have done first aid training, but still don’t feel confident enough to act when it matters.That’s why we teach — to make life-saving skills simple, practical and real. Because when ordinary people are supported properly, they can do extraordinary things. And sometimes, that simply can save a life.

‘If we can teach one person to save one life, we save the whole world one person at a time.'

Having the skills, knowledge, and confidence to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies can save a person’s life!
In this first aid course, you will learn these first aid skills in line with legal, workplace and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.

Our non-accredited courses are designed as practical information and discussion sessions for first responders, families, carers, workplaces, community groups, rural and urban households, and anyone who wants to better understand emergencies, preparedness and responder thinking.These sessions are not about ticking a box.They are about helping people feel more prepared, more capable and more confident through conversation, discussion and practical learning.Because these sessions are non-accredited, they provide an opportunity to openly explore emergency concepts, preparedness, first aid principles, real-life experiences and what I often call the grey area of emergencies.The goal is not accreditation.The goal is conversation, learning, preparedness, awareness and helping people think differently about emergencies and the world around them.

Each course can be delivered as a full-day or half-day workshop and tailored to suit your group, environment and interests.Training can be held in homes, workplaces, community spaces, rural settings or other suitable locations.Practical discussions for real-life situations APFAS non-accredited courses may explore topics such as first aid awareness, household safety, emergency preparedness, fire awareness, rural and remote incidents, responder thinking, resilience, disaster readiness and wider emergency concepts.Training is delivered in a simple, engaging and down-to-earth way using real examples, practical discussion and lived experience.No panic.

Practical discussions for real people and real-life emergencies
Most emergencies do not happen in ideal conditions. They are unexpected. They happen at home, at work, at sport, on the farm, on the road, and often when people least expect them.Over many years working in emergencies, one of the biggest misconceptions we have seen is students attend a course and that automatically means someone will know what to do when the unexpected happens.Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Fear, panic, hesitation and self-doubt can take over, even when people have completed training before.That is one of the reasons these sessions exist.
