First Aid Training for Wellard and Baldivis
Wellard has grown fast. What was paddocks a couple of decades ago is now streets full of young families, with the train station at the centre of it and Baldivis, Kwinana and Rockingham all a short drive away. Plenty of households here have small children, and plenty of people commute out to work somewhere that requires a current first aid certificate.
Until now the nearest options meant a drive. REACHAU now runs public sessions in Wellard itself, at the John Wellard Community Centre on Endell Way, which means you can get certified locally instead of losing half a day to travel. On-site delivery is available too, anywhere across Wellard, Baldivis, Kwinana and the surrounding suburbs.
Young Families
Wellard and Baldivis have a high proportion of households with babies and toddlers. Choking, febrile convulsions and anaphylaxis are the situations parents most want to feel ready for, and they are covered in every session.
Childcare and Schools
New suburbs mean new early learning centres and primary schools. HLTAID012 is the ACECQA-approved qualification educators and nominated supervisors are required to hold.
Commuting Workers
A lot of Wellard residents work in Kwinana, Rockingham or further north where HLTAID011 is a condition of the job. Getting it done locally beats taking a day off to travel for it.
Jobseekers
A current first aid certificate opens doors in aged care, disability support, childcare, security, trades and hospitality. For many roles it is the thing standing between an application and an interview.
"In an emergency, confidence comes from practice, not panic. That is what every session at REACHAU is designed to build."

Getting Certified as a Step Into Work
A lot of the people I train are not ticking a box for an employer they already have. They are trying to get hired. In aged care, disability support, childcare, security and plenty of trades, a current first aid certificate is a condition of the role, which means it has to be sorted before an application is taken seriously.
That is what Stuck2Skilled is for. REACHAU works with job network providers to get participants the certification employers actually ask for, delivered in a way that builds confidence rather than just handing over a certificate.
If you are working with a job network provider, ask them about a REACHAU referral. If you are a provider or a consultant with participants in the Wellard, Baldivis or Kwinana area, get in touch and we will talk through how referrals and invoicing work.
