Who is behind First Aid Certification

firstaidcertification.net.au is a free reference site operated by REACHAU (Regional Education and Career Help Australia), a Western Australian social enterprise founded by Britt Brennan. It is not an RTO, a certificate issuer or an independent comparison service. Training and Assessment is delivered by Britt at Regional Education and Career Help Australia on behalf of ABC First Aid RTO 3399.

Why this site exists

People searching for first aid certification usually have one of a few questions. Is my certificate still valid? Which unit does my job need? What happens on the day? How many first aiders does my workplace need? The answers are spread across RTO handbooks, training.gov.au, WorkSafe codes and job ads that still use course names from ten years ago.

This site puts the answers in one place, in plain English, with links back to the primary sources so you can check them yourself. There are no prices here and nothing is sold on this site. When you are ready to book, the links take you to reachau.com.au.

What this site is not

  • It is not a Registered Training Organisation. REACHAU delivers training and assessment on behalf of ABC First Aid RTO 3399, which issues every Statement of Attainment.
  • It does not issue, verify or replace certificates. Those requests go to ABC First Aid.
  • It is not an independent comparison site. It is written and maintained by REACHAU, and it says so on every page.

How the training is delivered

Britt delivers every REACHAU course personally. There is no team behind the brand, so the person you book with is the person who turns up to train you.

REACHAU

Runs the sessions, delivers the training and assessment, handles your booking and answers your questions before and after the course.

ABC First Aid RTO 3399

The Registered Training Organisation. Sets the course content and assessment, verifies your USI and issues your Statement of Attainment. Its student handbook covers your rights and obligations.

You

Complete the online theory before the day, bring your USI and ID, and show your skills in the practical session. How to prepare.

The approach is empowerment first. The aim is not just a certificate but the confidence to act when something goes wrong, at work, at home or on the roadside. Sessions are hands on, practical and built around real situations.

The REACHAU sites and what each one is for

How this site is kept accurate

Every page is checked against primary sources: the HLTAID unit pages on training.gov.au, the ABC First Aid student handbook, the WorkSafe WA code of practice "First aid in the workplace", the USI Registry and ACECQA. Where guidance is general rather than law, the pages say so. If you find something out of date, tell Britt and it will be fixed.

Renewal timeframes on this site use the approved wording: Australian workplace first aid guidance commonly recommends refreshing CPR every 12 months and first aid every 3 years. Employer, industry or registration body requirements take priority. A Statement of Attainment has no legal expiry date.
