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.
The resource loop
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
Research → write → illustrate → review.
We keep the process visible and the claims modest. The goal is a useful educational resource, not a substitute for emergency care.
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.
