First Aid

Overview

First Aid is one of the most important qualifications a person can gain. When people are trained in First Aid they gain confidence and awareness of the safety aspects which help to prevent accidents and reduce pain and suffering for casualties. AMA is a member of the Australian Resuscitation Council and AMA First Aid has been developed according to Council guidelines.
