What Agricultural Workers Say
Real feedback from Western Queensland farmers, station workers, and agricultural contractors who've completed our specialized training.
"Finally, first aid training that actually relates to what we face on the station. The machinery scenarios were spot-on, and the instructor understood the challenges of working hours from the nearest hospital."
Sarah Mitchell
Station Manager, Charleville
"Saved me a 4-hour drive to Brisbane for training. The course covered everything from tractor rollovers to snake bites. Every farm worker in Western Queensland should do this."
Michael O'Brien

"The remote area response training was invaluable. Three weeks later, I used what I learned when a worker was injured 40km from the homestead. Training probably saved his life."
