We are OPEN and Monitoring Advice
First Aid in Cairns (A.B.N 75 651 926 626 and R.T.O 45723) delivering nationally accredited training and assessment are monitoring the advice issued by the Australian Government and following the guidelines to manage the risk associated with COVID-19.
When visiting or attending a first aid course at our air conditioned shop at Campus Shopping Village, Smithfield Cairns,
please don't forget to sign in via the Check in QLD app.
From 17 December 2021, and following advice from QLD Health, we will be checking to see if you have the "green tick"
when using the Check in QLD app. The "green tick", means that you are fully vaccinated.
If you don't have the green tick, don't worry. You may still join one of our courses,
providing you wear a mask and observe social distancing. We have a BYO mask policy. Masks can be purchased from AMCAL or SPAR at Campus Shopping Village, Smithfield.
Don't be afraid to ask for assistance, if you are new to technology. Or if you need assistance to link your COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate to your Check in QLD app.
We would be more than happy to assist with you.
