🏍️ WE'RE LOOKING FOR A TRAINER!

Southern NSW/ ACT region

First Aid for Motorcyclists | Casual / Contract

Are you a motorcycle rider, qualified trainer and passionate road-safety advocate** who knows how to engage a room?

We may be looking for you. 👇

First Aid for Motorcyclists is growing, and we're looking for a trainer to join our team for approximately 1–4 sessions per month, with opportunities to grow as demand increases.

But let's be clear…

This is NOT your standard first aid trainer role.

We don't do death by PowerPoint. 😂

We train outside — in the sun, the rain and everything in between because motorcycle crashes don't happen conveniently inside a classroom.

Our training is practical, hands-on, interactive and designed specifically for motorcyclists.

🏍️ WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You must:

✔ Hold TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment or higher
✔ Hold a current HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
✔ Be an active motorcycle rider
✔ Have your own suitable first aid training kit, including manikins and practical equipment
✔ Be confident using Microsoft Office, PowerPoint and SharePoint
✔ Be punctual, reliable and professional
✔ Understand the importance of compliance and accurate records
✔ Be comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
✔ Be confident performing practical demonstrations and scenarios
✔ Be solution-driven and able to think on your feet
✔ Be adaptable and comfortable working with a diverse range of people
✔ Have a fun, outgoing personality and genuinely enjoy engaging participants
✔ Be passionate about motorcycle and road safety

🎭 YOU'LL NEED A BIT OF PERSONALITY!

We want trainers who can **perform, engage and entertain**.

Someone who can walk into a room full of riders and get them involved.

Someone who can have a laugh, tell a great story, create realistic scenarios and make the training memorable while still knowing when it's time to get serious.

📋 YOU'LL ALSO NEED TO FOLLOW OUR PROGRAM

We provide additional equipment, resources and custom training materials specifically developed for our First Aid for Motorcyclists courses.

You bring your personality and experience but you must deliver our course, our content and our methodology.

This isn't a role where you take the course and head off on your own tangent.

Consistency matters.

Compliance matters.

Accurate records matter.

And representing First Aid for Motorcyclists properly matters.

🧠 YOU NEED TO BE A PROBLEM SOLVER

Every group is different.

Different ages.
Different experience levels.
Different personalities.
Different learning styles.

We need someone who can adapt, communicate and find solutions.

We're looking for someone who thinks:

"Okay, that didn't work what can we do instead?"

Not:

"That's not how I normally do it."

💰 WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

HIGH REMUNERATION + COMMISSION STRUCTURE

💰 Competitive session remuneration
🎯 Commission for bringing participants into our courses
🏍️ Bonus opportunities
📈 Potential for additional sessions as we grow

We also pay a kit fee, accommodation and do all your administration

The initial commitment is approximately 1–4 sessions per month, making this ideal for someone looking for flexible additional work while being part of something they're passionate about.

❤️ MORE THAN FIRST AID

Our courses aren't just about CPR and bandages.

We deliver a complete motorcycle safety and training package covering what riders can do before, during and after a crash.

We want someone who genuinely believes in that mission.

Someone who understands that good training can give a rider the knowledge, confidence and skills to step forward when something goes wrong.

If you're a rider + trainer + communicator + road-safety advocate who doesn't mind getting wet, dirty, sweaty or sunburnt…

🏍️ We'd love to hear from you.

We talk about preventing motorcycle crashes.

But how often do we talk about what happens after one?

The broken motorcycle gets photographed.

The ambulance arrives.

The hospital treats the injuries.

The insurance claim gets lodged.

And then what?

What about the weeks, months or sometimes years afterwards?

What happens when a rider can't work?

When they can't ride?

When they can't look after their children?

When their partner has to take time off work to care for them?

When rehabilitation becomes a long-term part of everyday life?

When an injury changes someone's ability to earn an income?

When a family has to adapt to a completely different life?

These are the costs of motorcycle crashes that we don't talk about nearly enough.

And the Australian Government's own research puts some staggering numbers behind it.

According to the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Research Economics (BITRE), motorcyclists account for approximately 6% of road-crash casualties but 16% of the estimated social cost.

That represents an estimated $2.507 BILLION in social costs attributable to motorcyclist casualties, expressed in 2020 dollars.

And in 2020 alone, 190 motorcyclists were killed on Australian roads.

The total estimated social cost of Australian road crashes was $27.043 BILLION.

But “social cost” doesn't just mean the price of fixing a vehicle.

BITRE's calculations include things such as:

• Medical treatment
• Ambulance and emergency services
• Rehabilitation and long-term care
• Lost productivity and income
• Workplace disruption
• Staff replacement
• Loss of quality of life
• Legal and coronial costs
• Funeral costs
• And the wider human consequences of injury and death.

That means the impact of a motorcycle crash can extend far beyond the road, far beyond the hospital and far beyond the day of the crash.

And this is where we believe we can make a positive difference.

What if we stopped focusing only on what happens AFTER the crash?

What if we put more energy into preparing riders BEFORE something goes wrong?

Not just telling people to “be careful”.

Not just putting another safety message on a poster.

But actually giving riders practical skills.

Teaching hazard recognition.

Teaching better observation and decision-making.

Understanding road positioning.

Understanding braking and response.

Understanding what can contribute to a crash.

Knowing how to manage a crash scene.

Knowing what to do when someone is injured.

Knowing what not to do.

And having the confidence to respond when it matters.

That's why we developed Motorcycle Crash Management Training™

Because first aid for motorcyclists shouldn't begin with the crash.

The opportunity to make a difference begins long before it.

We may not be able to prevent every crash.

But we can work to reduce risk.

We can improve preparedness.

We can improve knowledge.

And when something does happen, we can give people the skills and confidence to respond appropriately.

Because the real measure of motorcycle safety shouldn't simply be:

“Did you survive the crash?”

It should also be:

“What can we do to prevent it and what can we do to reduce the impact when it happens?”

That's the positive impact we want to create.

That's why we believe in proactive training rather than reactive thinking.

First aid for Motorcyclists are supporting a researcher Nicholas Tsomis from the Australian Catholic University around Road Safety and road users around riding and driving behaviours.

As everyone is aware, Road safety and Motorcyclists safety is so important to us. We are happy to support any research and training around getting us all home safely after every ride.

Please see the information below

We are investigating driving and riding behaviours, hazard perception, and road safety outcomes among Australian road users. Specifically, we are comparing individuals who ride motorcycles with those who drive cars to better understand differences in road behaviour and hazard detection.

We are currently looking for participants who:

Hold a valid Australian motorcycle licence or driver’s licence

Are proficient in English

The study involves completing an anonymous online survey examining driving and riding behaviours, hazard perception, and road safety outcomes. Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous, with the survey taking approximately 30 minutes to complete.

🩸 Tourniquets... Are We Giving Them More Hype Than They Deserve?

Before anyone jumps on me...

Yes, tourniquets save lives.

When they're genuinely needed, they're one of the best pieces of equipment you can have.

But here's the question...

How many people actually know when they should be used?

These days, it feels like every second first aid kit has a tourniquet strapped to it.

They're in cars.
They're on motorcycles.
They're hanging off backpacks.

Some people even seem to think that simply owning one makes them prepared.

But owning equipment and knowing how to use it are two very different things.

A tourniquet is not a basic first aid item.

It's an advanced haemorrhage control device, designed for one very specific purpose...

Life-threatening bleeding from a limb that cannot be controlled by other means.

That's it.

It's not the first thing you reach for because someone is bleeding.

It's not for every motorcycle crash.

It's not for every cut, graze or injury.

In reality, most riders are far more likely to need the skills to:

✔️ Keep themselves safe.

✔️ Call for help early.

✔️ Control bleeding with direct pressure.

✔️ Manage an airway.

✔️ Perform CPR.

✔️ Use an AED.

Those skills save lives every single day.

Here's something else to think about...

If you're paying for a course that teaches you how to use a tourniquet, ask yourself a simple question...

Why isn't that training being delivered as part of a nationally recognised qualification?

The use of tourniquets is generally covered in more advanced nationally recognised courses such as:

🩸 HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Sites

🩸 HLTAID014 – Provide Advanced First Aid

These qualifications include advanced casualty assessment, catastrophic bleeding management and the broader clinical decision-making that goes with using equipment like a tourniquet.

If someone is teaching advanced haemorrhage control outside of a recognised training framework, it's worth asking:

What training did the instructor receive?
What standard are they teaching to?
Is the information current and evidence-based?
Will you be assessed for competency, or are you simply being shown a technique?

Those are important questions when you're learning skills that could one day make the difference between life and death.

I'm not saying don't carry a tourniquet.

If you choose to carry one, I think that's great.

But carry it because you've invested in learning when to use it, when not to use it, and how to use it correctly.

Because first aid isn't about having the biggest kit.

It isn't about looking tactical.

And it certainly isn't about copying what you've seen in the movies or on social media.

It's about having the right knowledge, the right skills and the confidence to make good decisions under pressure.

❤️ Equipment doesn't save lives. Trained people do.
