Basic Life Support, Workplace First Aid and Resuscitation 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.

Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

Sal Tull, Owner/Operator

This was certainly a much more effective/more enjoyable way to get the training done than the old way we did through St John.

We recently completed our workplace first aid training with Jumpstart First Aid, and it was fantastic. The trainer’s approach was very relatable—drawing on years of experience as both a nurse and firefighter. My team really appreciated the practical, hands-on learning, which was far more engaging than the traditional courses we’ve taken in the past. The recall system for ongoing compliance is also a game-changer for staying up to date. Thanks to the trainer’s down-to-earth approach, everyone felt comfortable asking questions. It’s reassuring to know our staff are now fully trained and confident to respond in an emergency.

I can’t say enough good things about Jumpstart First Aid! The trainer, with extensive nursing and emergency experience, delivered the best first aid course I’ve attended. The focus on real-world skills, especially Basic Life Support, was exactly what our team needed. What stood out was how fun and memorable the training was—we laughed, learned, and walked away feeling truly capable. Plus, it only took a few hours out of our workday, which was a huge bonus. Great value for money, and we feel much more prepared for any situation.

Melissa E., Nelson

As a business owner, I was worried about the disruption of getting my staff first aid certified. Jumpstart First Aid made the process incredibly easy and efficient. The trainer came to our workplace, and within just a few hours, my entire team felt confident in handling an emergency. The course was not only informative but also fun—everyone was engaged from start to finish. I really appreciate how tailored the content was to our specific work environment. Highly recommend to any business looking for efficient and effective first aid training.
