First Aid and Mental Health Training

Training course updates

At Red Cross, your safety and the safety of our trainers is important to us. That’s why we have carefully planned how we can deliver our training courses safely.

Additionally, we adhere to State and Territory Health Authority Regulations that are in effect at the time of the course. Please review the restrictions below relevant to your state:

Masks
The health and wellbeing of trainers, students and the broader community is the key priority for Australian Red Cross. Everyone attending training is encouraged to wear a face mask when attending our training, and to use available sanitisation products to ensure a safe training environment for all.

If you have flu-like symptoms
Please do not attend classroom training if you are sick, experiencing any flu-like symptoms

If you are waiting for results of a COVID-19 test
Please do not attend classroom training until you have your results and they are negative. Red Cross will waive transfer fees for any student who needs to reschedule on this basis.
