Australia is home to 20 of the world’s 25 most venomous snakes — and knowing how to respond in the first minutes is the difference between life and death. This premium Snake & Spider Bite Emergency Kit is purpose-built for Australian conditions, featuring AEROFORM Tension Indicator Bandages that take the guesswork out of the Pressure Immobilisation Technique (PIT) — the gold-standard treatment for all venomous snake bites and Funnel Web spider bites in Australia.
What this kit treats:
- All Australian snake species (Eastern Brown, Tiger Snake, Taipan, Death Adder)
- Funnel Web spider bites
- Blue Ringed Octopus stings
- Cone Shell stings
Full kit contents:
- AEROFORM Snake Bite Bandage with tension indicator — 10 cm × 10.5 m (firm wrap)

Compact dimensions (19.5 × 13 × 9 cm) make this kit ideal for a backpack, glove box, or remote worksite bag. When every minute counts, correct technique matters more than speed alone — the tension indicator strips on the bandages remove the guesswork so even a bystander can apply the correct compression immediately.
Pair this kit with certified training — knowing how to use PIT correctly before an emergency occurs dramatically improves outcomes. IRFA’s nationally accredited HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course covers snake and spider bite management in full, and HLTAID009 CPR training ensures you can manage an unconscious casualty while waiting for emergency services.
Ideal for: hikers and campers across Queensland, remote construction and mining workers, farmers and agricultural workers, coastal and marine activities, rural homeowners, and anyone wanting a dedicated venomous bite response kit at home.
