Every year on our roads around 1,200 Australians are killed
and 44,000 are seriously injured.

As a road user, you are most likely to come across a person in need of first aid as a passenger of a vehicle involved in an accident or as a passer-by.

Being one of the first people at the scene of an accident can be confronting. But did you know that there is a lot that you can do to help before emergency services arrive?

By knowing these simple first aid steps, you can assist those who may be injured, you could even save someone’s life.

Evidence shows that actions within the first three minutes can drastically reduce injury and preserve life.
