🟦 Living and Working in Thornlie: Community-Focused First Aid

Thornlie is one of the City of Gosnells' most established and diverse suburbs, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and strong community spirit.

From the leafy streets of the Crestwood Estate to the bustling hubs of Thornlie Square and Forest Lakes Forum, life here is active and interconnected.

This high density of schools, parks, and retail centres means that first aid risks are a daily reality.

Whether you are a parent at the local footy club, a retail worker, or a resident enjoying the Canning River walk paths, having the skills to act in those first few critical minutes is what truly matters.

"In an emergency, confidence comes from practice, not panic." - Britt Brennan, REACHAU

• Established Family Hub: With a high population of school-age children, being ready for asthma, anaphylaxis, and playground injuries is essential.

• Active Outdoors: The Canning River and local parklands increase the risk of sprains, falls, and heat-related illness during the summer months.

• Diverse Workforce: From local shopping centres to light industrial zones, Thornlie businesses require compliant, scenario-based training.

• Sporting Community: Weekend sport at local clubs brings a higher frequency of head knocks, fractures, and cardiac arrest risks.
