Our Company

First Aid Accident & Emergency was established in 2007 in response to a need for fun and innovative First Aid training and equipment for workplaces.

First aid training wasn’t new at the time but our Director, Scott Whimpey, noticed that the majority of service providers were offering the standard long winded, outdated courses that seemed to just “go through the motions”.

We understand that one size does not fit all and our clients have different needs and requirements. We can tailor packages for your workplace with training and equipment. We have a range of programs, online videos and resources for workplaces to assist with on going staff training.

Testimonials

Course was exceptional in content and instructional ability

As an ex Warrant Officer 1st Class from he NZ Army this course was exceptional in content and instructional ability A well organised and run course.

Darren Todd First Aid Course

Your facilitator Scott was an absolute natural

I would like to personally thank you for providing such an excellent service and for facilitating our first aid for our staff.

Your facilitator Scott was an absolute natural. He taught us, guided us and let us try things for ourselves. By doing this we gained so much more and learnt so much more than we have from previous First Aid courses from other organisations.

Scott really made the course enjoyable especially knowing that we had been at work all day and were tired. He made us laugh and used great props and the course flew by because we were enjoying it so much.

Thank you for adjusting the course so it was more relevant to our profession. We whole heartedly recommend your First Aid Training to anyone and everyone. Thank you and we look forward to using your service in the near future.

Rebecca Hogan Owner of Gumleaf Gully Childcare & Education Centre First Aid Course

This set up was by far the most professional course

Thanks again for getting me into the course at such short notice really appreciated. Of all the courses in first aid I have participated in (and there’s been a few) this set up was by far the most professional course but at the same time puts the trainee at ease by the relaxed learning environment.

Clayton Black Employment Consultant First Aid Course

FAAE made booking and delivering First Aid very easy

Scott and the team at FAAE made booking and delivering First Aid very easy, it covered everything we needed here at the Golf course for OH&S and EPAR standards

Phil Soegaard Lakeland’s Golf Course Superintendent First Aid Course

I have always received positive feedback from the staff after the course

We have used Scott for our First Aid training for the past 2 years and have been very happy with his practical strategies and methods of delivery. Scott makes the course fun, interesting and is able to hold the attention of the staff for the full length of the course.

I have always received positive feedback from the staff after the course, therefore will continue to use Scott for First Aid training at Sirromet Wines, as well as the other companies within our group.

Hayley Brown HR Manager, Sirromet Wines First Aid Course

We both now feel we could safely assist someone in an emergency

Dear Management Team at FAAE,

Firstly allow me to thank Wendy for her great class today my partner and I left feeling very confident and both feel we have learnt a lot with everything being explained in a way that was clear and not boring!

We both now feel we could safely assist someone in an emergency (as much as we would prefer not to) and will now be more responsive and responsible new parents.

We thank you Wendy for your vibrant, fun and very informative class today and wish the team at FAAE all the best with their future classes, we will always recommend your classes!

P.S. the initial communication with FAAE was fantastic at no point did we feel uncomfortable about signing up with FAAE and all questions terms and conditions were very well laid out before attending, admin were great!

Vanessa Doran First Aid Course

With drama, props and laughs

Your friendly and personal but professional way of relating to people.

For someone who is a visual learner, your way of teaching (with drama, props and laughs) is much more effective than other courses I’ve done.

Linda Lewis First Aid Course

The calibre of trainers is fantastic.

"The calibre of trainers is fantastic. Our team had a great experience…. we learned a lot and had a great time doing it."

Jill Kohler First Aid Course

I will definitely be recommending this course!

Hi Scott and Melanie,

I would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to you both for the fantastic service you provided with the courses that both my Mum and I attended. From the phone call inquiry that I made, through to the day of the First Aid and CPR, your company was brilliant.

My Mum was extremely worried about doing her First Aid and CPR, however by you offering her the manual to read prior, it eased her mind a lot! Both Scott and Ben were sensitive to my request asking for Mum not be on the floor and were extremely understanding.

I appreciated the reminder texts and emails, and going out of your way to inform me/us of the limited parking due to the building being busy.

The courses were fun, captured attention and educative. I have been updating my First Aid for 15 years, and this was by far the best course I have ever attended…..including when my Dad was teaching First Aid years ago! ?

I will definitely be recommending this course!

Thank again and kind regards.

Claire Stonehouse First Aid Course

Well done and will highly recommend in the future.

It is the best First Aid session I have been to in the past four years

“I attended First Aid training today with Scott. It is the best First Aid session I have been to in the past four years. Scott’s interactive style and evident passion for this work was so refreshing and enjoyable – and it worked. I now have renewed confidence in my ability to respond appropriately. Thank you so much Scott”.

Susan First Aid Course

I feel I came away with more confidence than I have ever had about First Aid

I just wanted to say that I have never had such an amazing trainer who made the day feel so relaxed, engaging, upbeat and enjoyable, we all got involved and had fun while learning. I feel I came away with more confidence than I have ever had about first aid and I’ve held my certificate since 2003. We will definitely be booking with Ben again in the future.

Little Souls Taking Big Steps First Aid Course

Congratulations again on the training provided to Grace, which supported her ability to perform First Aid to this man…

Hello Scott & Melanie

Our daughter & son have both recently completed First Aid Courses at your facility in Varsity Lakes and thought you would appreciate this good news story, along with “congratulations on providing a great job”….

Our daughter, Grace is studying nursing at Griffith University and works part-time at a pharmacy on the Gold Coast. Several weeks ago a man had a heart attack in her pharmacy, she immediately took control of the emergency, dragging him into a position away from obstacles and then commenced CPR whilst calling for her colleagues to get a defibrillator from a nearby medical centre. The medical centre refused to give it to the staff member, so another staff member returned & simply took it off their wall & ran with it. The paramedic that first arrived, one-up on the scene was surprised that Grace had such a control of the situation and asked her to continue whilst he intubated him. When further support paramedics arrived, Grace printed off the man’s medical history & gave it to them to take with them to the hospital. He had a heart condition – with surgical scars obvious when Grace ripped open his shirt. She had just come off a 2 week hospital placement at Robina Hospital, so she was in a comfortable place dealing with the person as a patient. Today, Grace received a message from the man’s family to say that after a long stay in hospital and a huge fight for life, he has recovered and has been sent home. With such a low success rate in these circumstances, we couldn’t be more proud & happy that our Grace saved this man’s life as a result of her First Aid Training.

Congratulations again on the training provided to Grace, which supported her ability to perform First Aid to this man, who would definitely not have survived if it had not been conducted immediately and as proficiently as it was.

Kind regards

Robyn

Anonymous CPR Testimonial

I would just like to let you know that 2 days after I completed my first aid course with Josh, my landlord, who lives on the same property, had a heart attack. Although we didn't have to do CPR I felt more at ease knowing what to do.

I remembered Josh's four types of patient and acted accordingly until help arrived. It made my course so worthwhile and I remembered everything Josh taught us. I was going through it in my head just in case I had to step in and do CPR. Thankfully he is in hospital and doing OK.

Again, thank you for giving me the skills to help my fellow human being.

I attended CPR training this morning with First Aid Accident and Emergency located at Varsity Lakes.

This training is one of the best sessions I have attended and I have recommended we stick with you as a provider going forward. The presenter Wendy was entertaining and dynamic with excellent practical knowledge and great theatrical skills.

This form of teaching promotes good outcomes whereby I was attentive for the entire session and have picked up more than I have with any other CPR provider in the past.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH. Scott was amazing!! My group have not stopped commenting about how much they learned today and what a fantastic presenter he is. They felt very comfortable asking questions and role-play. To see how the defib works really put their minds at ease and to be able to have a go on the CPR mannequin was great." - Sharon Howlin

Educators First Aid & CPR 28.09.19

I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the Educators First Aid and CPR course. I have done First Aid courses before but they have never been as fun or as interactive, Josh kept us on our toes throughout the course with his impromptu dramatic role playing which mimicked real life situations done randomly

Aaron was a really good entertaining first aid trainer. If you want a day of learning first aid with a relaxed and informative environment, I would highly recommend giving these guys a call. Very reasonably priced and you gain your statement of attainment card on the same day of your training. Thanks

Every year we participate in first aid (refresher) training. First Aide arranged a tailored course for our company, given our work in remote areas. We all agreed that Scott has been the best trainer we have ever had. He really knows is stuff and is very relatable and interactive. The content of the course was
