GUIDE
First Aid and the Covid-19 Protection Framework
Clarification of the long-awaited rules for the new COVID 19 Protection Framework is still unfortunately long-awaited, but more indicators are being released. As a result, we have collected information from various reputable sources and compiled some guidance for managing first aid training during the bedding in of the new system. We will endeavour to keep this page as up to date as possible as we receive further information over the coming weeks. This guidance does not override ministerial or organisational protocols.
