FAQ’s

WHAT IS REMOTE FIRST AID?

Remote First Aid, also known as HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Site, is a nationally recognised course designed to equip participants with essential first aid skills for wilderness, rural, or remote environments where emergency medical assistance may be delayed.
This training covers prolonged patient care, environmental hazards, remote communication techniques, and evacuation planning.

HOW LONG DOES REMOTE FIRST AID LAST?

The HLTAID013 Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Site certificate is valid for 36 months from the date of issue. However, the CPR component (HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) must be renewed every 12 months to stay compliant with industry regulations.

REMOTE FIRST AID VS WILDERNESS FIRST AID – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

While both courses cover providing first aid in remote settings, there are key differences:

Remote First Aid (HLTAID013): Focuses on workplace and industry-standard first aid procedures for remote worksites, farms, and isolated locations.
Wilderness First Aid: More focused on outdoor recreation, hiking, and survival scenarios where advanced improvisation techniques may be required.

If you work in mining, construction, rural healthcare, or remote tourism, HLTAID013 is the most relevant course for your needs.

CAN I COMPLETE REMOTE FIRST AID ONLINE?

Some components of HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Site can be completed online, such as the theoretical portion. However, a hands-on practical assessment must be completed in person to demonstrate competency in wound care, CPR, remote patient management, and evacuation techniques.

HOW MUCH DOES A REMOTE FIRST AID COURSE COST?

The cost of a Remote First Aid course varies depending on the provider, location, and training format. Generally, prices range from $250 to $400. Some workplaces may cover the cost for employees who require this certification.
