Critical Incident Response Training
Book Now

Imagine the unthinkable happens on your farm or worksite. A sudden illness or serious injury. In those critical first moments, the clock is ticking – the “Golden Hour” can dramatically impact the outcome. But for those of us in rural and remote Australia, reaching medical help within that timeframe is often impossible. You care deeply about your family and workmates in the agriculture industry, and the thought of not being able to help them in a crisis weighs heavily. You might even have policies in place, tucked away in an office, but in the chaos of an emergency, will anyone remember to look them up?

That’s why we’ve created the Critical Incident Response course specifically for agricultural properties and organisations. We understand the unique challenges you face in rural and remote settings. Think of us as your experienced guide, providing you with a clear, actionable framework and the essential skills to confidently respond when every second counts.
