Description

The same contents as the NSW Department of Education First Aid Box — built to FORM058 specifications — in a hi-vis red backpack that is identifiable as a first aid bag from across a playground, sports field, or excursion site. The reflective stripe and green first aid cross mean anyone on the ground can find it fast without asking.

Built to NSW Department of Education FORM058 specifications — identical contents to the tackle box version, different format. Read our guide on what needs to be in an Australian school first aid kit if you want to understand exactly what the requirements cover
Contains two asthma space chamber spacers, asthma first aid instructions, TICKTOX tick spray, snake bite bandage with indicator, and needle disposal unit — items chosen for a school environment and the real incidents that happen when children are away from the main building
Hospital-grade wound care, burn gel sachets, sodium chloride eyewash ampoules, multiple dressing sizes, nitrile gloves and a disposable face shield — everything a supervising teacher needs to respond properly until professional help arrives
Packed and inspected by hand in Dubbo, NSW — three content lists included so each kit location has its own maintenance record. Under NSW DoE requirements, kits must be checked after each use and at minimum every 12 months

The hi-vis red bag with reflective stripe means it is visible and recognisable in any environment — sports days, camps, excursions, outdoor classrooms, or anywhere students are supervised away from the main building. Prefer a fixed location kit? The same contents are available in a tackle box format. Browse the full sports and school first aid kit range to compare all options.

We also send you a 12-month audit reminder with a maintenance checklist so your kit stays compliant without you having to remember. Refill packs are available directly at assurancefirstaidkits.com.au.

Workplace Compliant

This first aid kit is designed to align with the Model Code of Practice: First Aid in the Workplace, published by Safe Work Australia.

You can view the official Code here:
Safe Work Australia – Model Code of Practice: First Aid in the Workplace
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/doc/model-code-practice-first-aid-workplace

This Code provides practical guidance on how businesses can meet their duties under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws.

What legal framework do workplace first aid kits fall under?

Workplace first aid requirements are governed by:

Safe Work Australia
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au

Under the national framework:

Work Health and Safety Act
Work Health and Safety Regulations
Model Code of Practice: First Aid in the Workplace

Each state and territory regulator enforces WHS laws locally. These include:

SafeWork NSW – https://www.safework.nsw.gov.au
WorkSafe Victoria – https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland – https://www.worksafe.qld.gov.au
SafeWork SA – https://www.safework.sa.gov.au
WorkSafe WA – https://www.worksafe.wa.gov.au
WorkSafe Tasmania – https://worksafe.tas.gov.au
NT WorkSafe – https://worksafe.nt.gov.au
WorkSafe ACT – https://www.worksafe.act.gov.au

Employers must comply with their relevant state or territory regulator.

What does the Code of Practice require?

The Model Code of Practice requires businesses to assess:

The type of work being carried out
The hazards present
The size and location of the workforce
The distance from emergency medical services
The number and location of first aid kits required
The need for trained first aiders

It also requires first aid kits to:

Contain appropriate and accessible equipment
Be regularly maintained and restocked
Be suitable for the specific workplace risk profile

Our workplace kits are structured to support these requirements.

They include hospital-grade consumables selected to manage common workplace injuries such as:

Cuts and lacerations
Burns
Eye injuries
Sprains and strains
Minor to moderate bleeding
Shock and exposure

Are your vehicle kits compliant for work vehicles?

Yes. Our vehicle kits are designed to align with WHS expectations for mobile workers, including:

Trades
Field service technicians
Construction crews
Remote or regional staff

They are compact, accessible, and structured to meet vehicle first aid requirements under WHS guidance.

For official vehicle guidance, refer to your relevant state WHS authority listed above.

Is buying your kit enough to be compliant?

A compliant kit is part of compliance — but not the entire requirement.

Under WHS laws, employers must:

Conduct a workplace risk assessment
Provide appropriate first aid facilities
Ensure trained first aiders are available where required
Maintain and review first aid arrangements regularly

Our kits are built to support compliance. Final responsibility for meeting WHS obligations remains with the employer.

How often should workplace first aid kits be checked?

The Model Code of Practice recommends regular inspection to ensure:

No expired items
Used items replaced promptly
The kit remains suitable for current risks

We recommend scheduled checks at least every 3–6 months, or more frequently in higher-risk environments.

Can kits be customised for higher-risk workplaces?

Yes.

The Code requires that first aid equipment reflect the nature of workplace hazards.

For higher-risk industries, businesses may require additional modules such as:

Burn treatment supplies
Trauma or major bleed support
Snake bite kits for regional worksites

This approach supports real-world capability — not just minimum compliance.

If you'd like, I can also:

Add a formal compliance disclaimer block at the bottom
Create a shortened compliance summary for product pages
Or write a fully referenced compliance landing page designed for trade buyers

Tell me where this will sit on the site and I’ll refine it further.

FAQs

Do any supplies in the first aid kits expire?

Where required an expiry date is on the individual item.

‘Shelf life’ is the term or period during which a component remains suitable for the intended use. An expiry date is the termination of shelf life, after which a percentage of the component, e.g., medical devices, may no longer function as intended.

See below for the expiry dates of our first aid kits contents that have an expiry:

Adhesive dressings: 3 years
Combine dressing: 5 years
Cotton gauze swabs: 5 years
Eye pads: 5 years
Hydrogel: 2 years
Hydrogel dressing: 5 years
Non adherent wound dressings: 5 years
Saline: 5 years
Skin cleaning wipes: 2 years
Splinter probes: 5 years
Wound closures: 2 years

1. Is this first aid box compliant with NSW Department of Education requirements?

Yes. This first aid collection is structured to align with NSW Department of Education guidelines for classroom first aid provision.

It contains the essential items required for minor injury management within a school setting and is designed to support audit readiness.

Schools should always confirm internal policy requirements, but this kit is built specifically for NSW DoE classroom environments.

2. Is this suitable for use inside individual classrooms?

Yes. This first aid box is designed for classroom-level deployment, not just central sick bays.

NSW schools are typically required to have accessible first aid supplies within learning areas to manage minor injuries quickly. The compact format allows wall mounting or secure placement within the classroom for easy access by staff.

3. Do the contents expire, and who is responsible for checking them?

Yes. Certain items such as sterile dressings and saline have expiry dates.

Under school WHS obligations, first aid supplies must be inspected and maintained regularly. Responsibility typically falls to the school’s designated first aid officer or WHS coordinator.

Routine checks every term or at minimum every 6–12 months help ensure ongoing compliance and audit readiness.

4. Can teachers use this first aid box without formal medical training?

Yes. Classroom first aid kits are intended for basic injury management, such as minor cuts, grazes and nosebleeds.

The contents are straightforward and designed for practical use by school staff. More serious incidents should follow the school’s emergency response plan and involve trained first aid officers.

5. Can medications be stored inside this first aid box?

No. Under NSW Department of Education and WHS guidelines, general workplace and classroom first aid kits do not include medications such as paracetamol or antihistamines.

Medication management in schools follows separate policies and consent procedures. This first aid box contains non-medicated, compliant supplies appropriate for general classroom use.

Need Something More Specific?

If this kit isn’t the exact fit, we can customise one to match your team size, risk level or compliance requirements.
