Hi, we’re Sarah, Mel & Marty!
We’re the Directors of Embrace First Aid Training (formerly Hawkesbury First Aid), a First Aid Course and CPR Training organisation located in Sydney.
We specialise in providing practical First Aid Courses & CPR Training to Businesses, High School and Primary School Teachers, Students, Community Organisations and Groups, as well individuals in our community who would like to complete their First Aid Course and CPR Training.
As Registered Nurses and a Paramedic, working in critical care and triage of some of Australia’s busiest emergency departments, we’ve been trained to assess and take action in a split second.
What we do, saves lives.
What you do before someone arrives at one of our emergency departments also saves lives, if you act confidently and know how to treat them!
What makes us different?
-
50+ Years Combined Experience as Healthcare Workers
Mel & Sarah are Registered Nurses and Marty is a Paramedic with extensive experience in triage and critical care.
-
Our Personal Approach
Teaching First Aid & CPR is our passion, during out training sessions we ensure all participants feel nurtured and confident.
-
It's Practical & Fun, The Best Way to Learn!
We bring real life scenarios that we’ve experienced throughout our careers as Registered Nurses & Paramedics and teach you how to respond and deliver effective First Aid & CPR.
-
We Role Play Real Life Scenarios
You won’t be stuck behind a desk all day listening to us, we get you involved, on the floor practising what you’ve learnt so you feel confident.
-
We Work With You & No One is Left Behind
You’re not alone or left feeling overwhelmed. We work with each of our participants to ensure they feel capable and confident to perform First Aid & CPR.
-
We have a No Fail Mantra
As long as you put in the work and participate throughout the day, we’ll ensure you don’t fail the final assessment. If you fail, we fail.
-
Our Courses Are 100% Flexible
We’ll tailor the training to your needs and the needs of your employees or volunteers to ensure you get the most out of the training.

Convenience & Accessibility
Our courses are offered in central locations across Greater Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. We even travel to Rural NSW towns. If you have 6 or more participants, we’ll come to you.
