About First Aid Pocket Guide
Useful first aid should be easier to reach.
This is an independent Australian project for people who want clear information, a calmer way to learn and practical reminders that can live beside a kit.
Why this exists
In an emergency, people do not need a lecture.
They need the next safe action, written plainly, with enough context to recognise when it applies. First Aid Pocket Guide is built around that moment: a quick answer first, then a guide, a practice activity or a printable that helps the idea stick.
The site is for everyday settings — homes, workplaces, schools, clubs, kitchens, roads and outdoor places — and uses Australian emergency numbers and terminology.
Read, practise and print
Learn → practise → keep.
Different formats help at different moments. The site connects them so you do not have to start over.
How resources are made
Where the advice comes from.
Guides link to the sources used for their instructions. Australian resuscitation guidance takes priority when a technique differs between countries.
Editorial standards
What this site can and cannot do.
Learn common first-aid principles, rehearse a next step and keep a quick reminder nearby.
Emergency services, a 000 call-taker, professional medical assessment or a current first-aid course.
Guides summarise Australian sources including Healthdirect, ANZCOR and ASCIA. Dates record editorial updates, not independent clinical sign-off. These organisations have not endorsed this site. If you spot an error or outdated link, please use the contact email and include the page.

Saved guides and practice data
This site saves a selection of emergency guides and pages you visit for offline reading. A saved copy can become outdated. Reconnect to read the latest version; in an emergency, call 000 instead of waiting for a page.
Your practice answers stay in the current page and are not submitted to us. Printable worksheets do not submit the details you fill in. Your browser may remember form fields, so take care on a shared device and keep completed printouts or PDFs private.
Learning progress — best results, completions and badges — stays in this browser on this device. No account is needed.
