We all thought it would be a worthwhile investment to complete a first aid course in case the unthinkable happened along our journey, so that we could provide the best care for each other, and potentially other people. After some searching online a company based in Victor Harbour seemed to offer the best option for us and it was on our route to Perth. We contacted Deborah Geerts, the owner and Operations manager of First Aid For Motorcycles (FAFM), and she kindly offered to host a special group training session for us at her property just outside Victor Harbour.

We suited and booted and rode the short distance through the rolling landscape to her historic rural property. As we arrived there were several helmeted torsos lying on the roadside which indicated we were probably at the right place. Without introduction formalities Deborah set us on a mission to save the poor souls lying on the road side - go and provide immediate assistance! What needs to be done? We were clueless.  

Deborah provided a truly excellent course to First Responder First Aid, teaching us all the responses to all the major traumas likely to occur in a motorcycle accident including:
  • Identifying the need for CPR
  • Administering CPR
  • Using a defribulator
  • How to remove a helmet from an accident victim and when to do it, or not.
  • Deep wound dressing
  • Splinting broken bones
  • First Aid kits
  • Snake Bites
  • and so much more 

We were all very impressed by Deborah's highly professional, informative and fun way of teaching. We came away with the confidence that we could respond in case the worst happens and had many laughs during the day. This course is highly recommended and Deborah is an amazing person with a deep passion for what she does.
