About Britt Brennan | Lead Trainer & Founder of REACHAU
My name is Britt, and I started REACHAU because I’ve seen firsthand how the right training can change the way a person carries themselves.
At my heart, I am a teacher.
My mission is simple: to help you trade "I don’t know what to do" for a quiet, steady confident ability.
I believe that real learning happens when you take your past experiences, especially the tough ones, and use them to build a set of skills that actually work when it matters most.
A Global Upbringing Built on Community
My story started in Toronto, Canada, but my ancestral and familial roots are a blend of Canadian, Jamaican, Australian, and recently discovered Scottish heritage.
My father was a long haul truck driver who once jammed in the pubs of New Orleans with none other than Waylon Jennings.
While I did not know him well, I cherished the time we did spend together.
As a young child, my mum met and married the man I would know as Dad.
In the early 70's, I spent hours unrestrained in the back of a car as we moved across Canada to Surrey, BC, where my Dad started his lengthy career at BCTV, the local news television station.
No matter where we lived, our home was a meeting place for everyone. Our door was always open to anyone who needed a seat at the table.
I grew up with the sounds of Jamaica in the house and the steady and often challenging presence of my step dad, Stan.
Those early years taught me that community isn't just a word; it’s a life commitment to making sure no one is left behind.
That’s exactly how I approach my training today, everyone belongs, and everyone is capable.
Early Impactful Life Experience
I’ve always believed that the best skills aren't learned in a structured classroom.
They’re earned through life's experiences.
At 14, I was leading trail rides and caring for horses in Dunsborough, Western Australia.
I learned the value of being prepared the hard way: I once showed up for a new job without the "rubber gloves" on my list, thinking they were for doing dishes. I quickly found out they were for the much grittier work of cleaning stables by hand.
Those moments shaped who I am.
Whether I was running my own cafe in Lancelin or managing fitness programs in local parks, my focus has always been on people.
I’m passionate about helping people see their own value, even when they’ve started to doubt it themselves.
Professional Expertise You Can Count On
As an eternal learner, I back years of varied industry, hands-on experience with solid academic credentials. I want you to walk away with training that is practical, but also grounded in the latest health science.
Some of my academic achievements are listed below:
Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition)
Diploma of Mental Health
Cert IV in Training and Assessment (TAE)
Cert IV in Fitness, Aqua Fitness, Personal Training
This mix of health and mental health expertise allows me to bring a more supportive, "human" approach to every session.
Training and assessment is delivered by Britt Brennan and Regional Education and Career Help Australia-REACHAU, on behalf of ABC First Aid RTO 3399.
The REACHAU Difference
Training should be tailored to the student, and wherever possible, in an environment that matches reality.
I specialise in bringing the learning to you, wherever the risks actually happen.
Whether it’s a mine site, a local stable, a childcare centre, or a community hall, I meet you where you’re at.
Alongside First Aid, I run career workshops for people who are ready for a new start but aren't sure where to begin.
My philosophy is basic: the only real failure is giving up. I’m here to give you the tools and the self-belief to keep going.
In an emergency, you don’t get to pick the "right time" to act.
You just have to be ready.
Through REACHAU, I provide nationally recognised training across WA, including:
Why I Do This
When I’m not in a classroom or working on my business, you’ll likely find me with my granddaughters, around horses, or exploring how we can all build better mental health and leadership.
I’m an introvert by nature, but I light up when I teach.
It’s more than a job for me; it’s who I am.
I built this business on one truth: real confidence saves lives.
Whether I’m teaching a CPR refresher or helping someone get back into the workforce, my mission is the same: helping you realise you’ve already got what it takes to step up.
If you’re ready to build some new skills or find a fresh opportunity, you’re in the right place. I’ll meet you where you’re at, and I’ll make sure you walk away ready for whatever comes next.
Important compliance notes
In an emergency, call 000.
Training complements but does not replace medical advice.
Doing something is better than doing nothing.
CPR skills are recommended to be refreshed every 12 months
First Aid, Child Care, Remote and Advanced are recommended to be refreshed every 3 years
