Course Description

The unit HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Site – equips individuals with the specialised skills and knowledge to deliver first aid in challenging, remote, or isolated environments where access to emergency services may be delayed. This unit is essential for individuals working or travelling in areas such as remote worksites, wilderness locations, or rural communities, where immediate medical assistance may not be readily available.

Throughout the course, participants will learn how to assess and manage emergencies in remote settings, including administering life-saving first aid techniques for injuries, illnesses, and environmental hazards such as heatstroke, dehydration, or hypothermia. The training covers how to improvise with limited resources, communicate with emergency services from isolated locations, and manage patients for extended periods while awaiting evacuation or medical support. Participants will also gain skills in stabilising patients, using emergency equipment, and making informed decisions to ensure safety.

This unit is ideal for outdoor guides, remote workers, park rangers, and individuals involved in activities such as hiking, camping, or working in isolated locations.

Upon completing HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Site, participants will be prepared to handle first aid situations in remote environments confidently, ensuring the safety and care of individuals in difficult or delayed-response scenarios. This training is crucial for those working or adventuring in isolated areas, where quick decision-making and effective first aid can save lives.
