Every great story begins with a simple idea. For Get First Aid, it started with two people, a single kit, and a vision: to bring dependable, professional medical care to events of every size across Australia.
From those early days, the mission was clear—safety should never be an afterthought. Organisers deserved a medical team they could count on, one that would show up prepared, calm, and capable no matter what the circumstances.
What began as a small family-run operation quickly grew into something much larger. Word spread—first across Canberra, then throughout New South Wales, Queensland, and beyond. Event organisers discovered that Get First Aid was different. They didn’t just provide medics; they provided peace of mind.
Today, Get First Aid has a network of more than 85 skilled staff: paramedics, advanced medics, nurses, and doctors. Backed by a fleet of purpose-built response vehicles, advanced communication systems, and a “never cancel” guarantee, the team delivers coverage at some of Australia’s most iconic events—from fun runs and music festivals to national sporting competitions.
But numbers only tell half the story. At the heart of Get First Aid is a set of values: professionalism, trust, community, and care. Every medic who wears the GFA uniform shares the same commitment—to treat every patient with dignity, to support every organiser with clarity, and to uphold the highest standards of clinical excellence.
This dedication has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, Get First Aid was named a finalist in the Business NSW Excellence in Large Business Awards, recognition that reflects the hard work of its team and the loyalty of its clients. Yet the greatest reward comes not from trophies, but from knowing that at every event—whether treating a sprained ankle or responding to a critical emergency—lives are safer because Get First Aid is there.
The story of Get First Aid is still being written. Each new event, each new challenge, adds another chapter. And through it all, one thing remains constant: wherever the community gathers, Get First Aid will be there—ready, reliable, and unwavering.
