WHS-Ready First Aid Kits for School Environments
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), schools and early learning centres are legally considered workplaces. That means school leaders — as Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBUs) — have a duty to provide “adequate facilities for the welfare of workers” and to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of staff, students, and visitors.
This duty includes the provision of accessible, fully stocked, and regularly maintained first aid kits. The Model WHS Regulations and First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice set the expectation:
“First aid kits should be checked after each use and at least once every 12 months to ensure the kit is complete and that items are not past their expiry date.”
— Safe Work Australia, First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice, p. 12
Designed to Support Compliance — Without the Guesswork
Our WHS-Ready First Aid Kits help school leaders meet these obligations with confidence. Every kit is pre-stocked to reflect the specific risks present in educational settings and comes with guidance to keep it maintained and compliant over time.
Each kit includes:
Contents aligned with the WHS Act 2011 and Model WHS Regulations
Components selected in line with Safe Work Australia’s First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice
Child-appropriate inclusions tailored to common school injuries
A maintenance and restocking checklist
Items manufactured to ISO 13485 international quality standards for medical devices
Why ISO 13485 Matters
ISO 13485 is the global benchmark for medical device quality. By choosing first aid kits assembled under this standard, your school is using equipment that meets strict safety, reliability, and traceability requirements — the same level of assurance expected in hospitals and healthcare.
What that means for your school:
Medical-grade components
Proper labelling for quick use in emergencies
Consistency with WHS regulatory frameworks
Confidence that you're meeting best-practice procurement standards
Practical, Accessible, and Policy-Aligned
Whether it’s stored in the front office, taken out to the playground, packed for an excursion, or kept in a staffroom, a properly stocked and maintained first aid kit is a simple and effective way to reduce risk and demonstrate your school is taking “reasonably practicable steps” to comply with WHS law.
Our kits are ready to go — no assembly required, no ambiguity about what’s inside, and no stress when something happens. And when it comes time to re-stock, it’s simple and economical — just replace the used module, not the whole kit.
