How To Get Involved With Febfast

Febfast is an annual campaign designed to help Australians re-evaluate their consumption of and relationship with alcohol. It also raises funds and support for young people struggling with alcohol and drugs.

Febfast is an annual campaign that challenges participants to give up alcohol for the entirety of February. It comes as an important reminder to detox after the Christmas party season. Alcohol is a pervasive aspect of Australian culture, with roughly 1 in 4 Australian adults exceeding the Australian Adult Alcohol Guideline in the 2020-2021 financial year (according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics). In light of these staggering numbers, Febfast encourages participants to reflect on their relationship with and consumption of alcohol. In taking on this challenge, participants also have the opportunity to raise funds for youth alcohol and drug services.

About Our Educational Videos

Why Australia Wide First Aid creates and shares first aid education content

Why does Australia Wide First Aid create educational videos?

We create educational videos to make first aid knowledge accessible to everyone. Our videos help learners prepare for courses, refresh their skills, and understand important first aid concepts at their own pace, anywhere and anytime.

Are these videos a replacement for practical first aid training?

No, our videos complement hands-on training but don't replace it. First aid certification requires practical skills assessment. Our videos help you understand theory and techniques, but you'll need to attend a practical course to receive nationally recognised certification.

How do educational videos improve first aid learning?

Videos provide visual demonstrations of techniques, allowing learners to see proper form and procedures. You can pause, rewind, and rewatch complex techniques as many times as needed, making it easier to understand and retain critical first aid skills.

Can I share Australia Wide First Aid videos with others?

Absolutely! We encourage sharing our educational content. The more people who understand first aid basics, the safer our communities become. Share our videos with friends, family, colleagues, or anyone interested in learning life-saving skills. For brand guidelines and usage information, visit our brand kit.

Do I need to watch videos before attending a first aid course?

While not mandatory, watching our videos beforehand can enhance your learning experience. Familiarising yourself with concepts and terminology helps you get more from the practical training session and feel more confident during hands-on practice.

How often should I review first aid videos?

We recommend reviewing first aid videos regularly, especially if you haven't used your skills recently. Quarterly reviews help keep techniques fresh in your mind. Remember, first aid certifications require renewal every 1-3 years depending on the course.

Are the techniques shown in videos current and evidence-based?

Yes, all our videos follow current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and nationally recognised training standards. We update our content regularly to reflect the latest evidence-based practices in emergency first aid and CPR techniques.

Can videos help me maintain my first aid certification?

While videos are excellent for knowledge retention between renewals, they cannot replace formal recertification. However, regular viewing helps you stay current with techniques and builds confidence to act effectively in emergencies until your next certification course.
