Workplace First Aid
& CPR Training

Welcome to Jumpstart First Aid

“Trusted, practical training for real‑world emergencies.”

At Jumpstart First Aid, we deliver efficient, practical, hands‑on training that prepares people to respond confidently in real emergencies. Our courses are tailored to your environment and taught by experienced nurses and emergency responders, making the learning engaging, memorable, and highly relevant.

We specialise in tailored workplace training, and we also provide profession‑specific resuscitation courses for nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, vaccinators, and other clinical teams. Training can be delivered at your workplace or in our training room, giving you complete flexibility.

Why Site‑Specific Training Matters

Generic off‑site first aid courses teach broad skills, but they can’t prepare your team for the real risks, equipment, and environment they work in every day. Site‑specific training is more effective because your team learns exactly how to respond to emergencies in your workplace — using your layout, your hazards, and your equipment.

From a WorkSafe perspective, this approach shows you’ve taken reasonably practicable steps to train staff in the context of the actual risks they face. It leads to faster, more confident responses and a safer, more prepared workplace.

The CPR training session delivered by Lou from Jumpstart First Aid was excellent. The content was highly relevant to clinical practice and clearly explained. Lou’s interaction with the nursing team was engaging and encouraged active involvement throughout the session. The clinical scenarios were realistic and well‑designed, helping to build confidence and reinforce key skills. Overall, a great session that was both practical and informative.

JumpStart First Aid provided a very practical and informative first aid course. Lou provided our team with fundamental first aid knowledge and instilled the confidence to react quickly and appropriately in first aid situations. The ability to have the course on-site at our work place reduced the operational impact on our business, made the course cost effective and allowed us to include a larger number of our team.

Jason Dobson, Owner / Operator

Our staff really enjoyed Lou’s teaching style, the way she responded to questions, the way she used her own experience as a first aider, and her expertise. The session was informative, friendly and fun. The CPR dummies are top class with wifi capability which means we could see if we were pushing hard enough, recoiling, and going the right speed. This made learning CPR much more effective. We’ll definitely use Lou again for our next round of first aid training.

Nelson College for Girls

The feedback from the team has all been extremely positive. They said the course was fun and informative, covering more than the Red Cross course in less time. They also enjoyed being on course with their team mates – they were more confident to ask/answer questions in front of people they know.
