Our Courses

We offer a range of courses designed to meet your workplace’s needs:

​​

Low Voltage Rescue (CPR & LVR)
Learn how to safely carry out rescues from live low-voltage electrical apparatus in the electricity supply industry. This course covers the inspection and correct use of rescue equipment, with a strong focus on compliance with WHS/OHS standards, safe approach distances, and hazard awareness.​

​

WHS Manual Handling (Construction-Focused)
Prevent workplace injuries by learning to identify risks and apply safe manual handling techniques. Ideal for physically demanding environments, this training addresses common tasks such as moving tools and equipment, loading and unloading vans or trailers, and performing repetitive work on uneven ground. We help your team avoid injuries with realistic, practical techniques delivered in short sessions designed to fit around busy job site schedules.​

​

First Aid & CPR – HLTAID011 + HLTAID009 - Learn essential life-saving techniques with practical, hands-on CPR training that covers critical scenarios such as electrical burns, crush injuries, bleeding, shock, spinal precautions, and AED use — including considerations for response time in remote areas. You'll also gain an understanding of how first aid ties into your WHS responsibilities. All our courses include same-day certificates and access to downloadable resources for use in staff or safety meetings.

​​​

Mental Health in High-RISK Industries - Psychosocial safety is now a key part of your WHS obligations, and our training helps leaders and workers meet these responsibilities with confidence. Learn to recognise signs of stress, burnout, and mental health concerns, understand what to say (and what not to), and navigate sensitive conversations on site. Our courses are designed to support compliance with the latest Safe Work Australia requirements for managing psychosocial hazards, with tailored options available for workers, supervisors, and toolbox talks.
