Celebrating Growth, Impact, and Lifesaving Education in 2025
As we close out another remarkable year at First Aid Certified, it’s impossible not to reflect on just how far we have come — and how many lives have been changed because of the work we do. When we launched our mission in Perth, we envisioned building something simple yet powerful: a practical, accessible way for everyday people to learn essential first aid skills that could one day help them save a life.
Today, that mission is no longer a vision — it is a living, breathing reality.
This year alone, over 15,000 students completed training with us.
We issued more than 15,000 nationally recognised certificates.
Our website attracted over 1,000,000 visits, helping thousands of Western Australians find the right training for their personal or professional goals.
Every one of those numbers represents something bigger than growth — it represents lives empowered, workplaces made safer, families better prepared, and communities more resilient.
This is our Year in Review at First Aid Certified, a look back at everything we have achieved, everything we have built, and the impact we continue to make across Perth and Western Australia.
Our Mission and Our Growth: A Life-Saving Journey
From the beginning, First Aid Certified set out to reinvent the way people learn first aid in Perth. We aimed to make training faster, more convenient, more flexible, and more personal.
This year, we broadened our reach, expanded to new training locations, launched new high-demand accredited courses, published powerful SEO-driven blog content, and strengthened our local partnerships.
But our biggest achievement remains the same:
teaching thousands of people every single month how to save a life.
Whether through a First Aid Course in Perth, a Manual Handling course for aged care workers, or the new VR Fire Safety Training program, our commitment to quality education continues to guide everything we do.
Our Students: 15,000+ Western Australians Trained This Year
Reaching 15,000 students in a single year is not just a milestone — it’s a sign of trust.

We have delivered courses:

Tens of thousands of people in Perth complete HLTAID011 every year — and thousands chose us.

How We Made a Difference in the Perth Community
Numbers matter, but the impact behind those numbers matters even more.
Here are the tangible ways First Aid Certified made a difference this year.
1. Thousands of people now know how to save a life
Whether it’s CPR, choking first aid, asthma emergencies, anaphylaxis, burns, bleeding, seizures, or everyday injuries — our students now have the confidence to act.
We received dozens of messages from past students who successfully:
- Performed first aid at car accidents
- Helped a family member in a medical emergency
- Used CPR while waiting for paramedics
- Assisted choking infants
- Treated workplace injuries
- Responded to heart attacks
- Used a fire extinguisher during a workplace incident
- Made calm, informed decisions in emergencies
Each story reminds us why we do what we do.
2. Strengthening safety standards across workplaces
By training thousands of staff from aged care, disability, mining, construction, hospitality, and corporate environments, we helped businesses:
- Meet WHS requirements
- Reduce incidents and injuries
- Improve staff confidence
- Support compliance audits
- Strengthen safety culture
Safer workers mean healthier workplaces.
3. Supporting Perth’s aged care and disability sector
With workforce shortages and high physical demands, manual handling injuries continue to be a major risk in WA.
Our nationally recognised Manual Handling courses helped:
- Reduce staff injury rates
- Improve client safety
- Increase job readiness
- Support NDIS providers
- Train new workers entering the industry
We are proud to contribute to the safety of both carers and those they support.
4. Revolutionising fire safety training with VR
Traditional fire training can be:
- Hard to access
- Logistically complex
- Dependent on weather
- Costly
- Risky
Our VR training changed that.
This year, hundreds of Perth workplaces adopted our CPPFES2005 VR Fire Training, giving staff a realistic and immersive experience without live flames.
It is one of the safest and most effective fire emergency training methods available.
5. Improving access to First Aid training for families
Our at-home First Aid Courses made training accessible for:
- New parents
- Families with children
- People with disabilities
- NDIS participants
- Parents with busy schedules
- Individuals with transport barriers
Some of the most heartfelt training moments this year came from these sessions — parents learning CPR for their newborns, families practicing together, and carers gaining the confidence to respond if something goes wrong.
