ABC First Aid Guide including Apply First Aid, Perform CPR, Basic Emergency Life Support and Asthma and Anaphylaxis Guide
The ABC First Aid Guide, written by Dr Audrey Sisman, covers every topic in the Nationally Accredited Apply First Aid course - Provide First Aid, Provide Basic Emergency Life Support and Provide CPR. It follows the latest ARC Guidelines, is designed for Australian conditions, and includes a foldout world map of international emergency numbers and a tear-out First Aid Report Form.
Why choose the ABC First Aid Guide
The layout is what makes it usable in an actual emergency. Each topic is covered on one or two adjacent pages, with photos and illustrations throughout - so you open it at snake bite and everything about snake bite is in front of you, rather than spread across chapters with cross-references. Nobody flicks through an index while someone is on the floor.
It follows the latest ARC Guidelines and is designed for Australian conditions, which is not a small point. Imported first aid references cover hazards we do not have and omit the ones we do - snake and funnel-web envenomation, marine stings, and pressure immobilisation bandaging as the correct technique rather than a footnote.
Two inclusions earn their place in a workplace kit. The tear-out First Aid Report Form means the incident gets documented at the time, which is a WHS obligation people routinely reconstruct badly days later. The foldout world map of international emergency numbers matters the moment anyone travels.

Common uses
Workplace and vehicle first aid kits, training organisations, schools, clubs and households - and it is bought as often by people who have completed the course and want the reference as by those studying for it. For advanced resuscitation and low voltage rescue, the ABC of CPR Book is the companion title. A wall chart puts the CPR sequence where everyone can see it - the poly CPR wall chart covers that.

ABC First Aid Guide FAQs
What course does the ABC First Aid Guide cover?
All topics in the Nationally Accredited Apply First Aid course - Provide First Aid, Provide Basic Emergency Life Support and Provide CPR. It works both as study support and as the reference you keep afterwards.
Does it follow current Australian guidelines?
It follows the latest ARC (Australian Resuscitation Council) Guidelines and is designed for Australian conditions. That matters for envenomation and marine stings, where imported references are either wrong or silent.
Why the one-or-two-page layout?
So that everything about a single topic is visible at once. In an emergency nobody follows cross-references between chapters - having snake bite, or burns, or choking complete on a facing page is what makes a reference usable under stress.
What is the First Aid Report Form for?
Documenting an incident at the time it happens, which is a workplace obligation and something people otherwise reconstruct from memory days later. It tears out, so the completed form goes into your records and the book stays in the kit.
Is this the same as the ABC of CPR Book?
No. This covers the Apply First Aid course. The ABC of CPR Book covers the Apply Advanced Resuscitation Techniques course, including low voltage rescue - a different and more advanced syllabus.
Does a guide replace first aid training?
No. It supports and refreshes training but cannot substitute for a hands-on accredited course, because CPR and bandaging are physical skills. Keep a current qualification and use the book to stay sharp between renewals.
A first aid reference supports but does not replace accredited hands-on first aid training. Guidelines are periodically revised - check that your copy and your training remain current. In an emergency, call 000.
