Melbourne, Australia Vita First Aid Pty Ltd Full time

About Us :

After a discussion between two paramedic students, they realised the need for higher standards of service and care to patrons at sporting events. They also felt that it would be beneficial if there was someone who could consult with event organisers about how best provide this type of assistance in order better serve their customers."

Vita First Aid management are driving change by creating standards that can't be compromised, such as engaging professional salaried staff and not volunteers. They also provide detailed risk analysis for event organisers to make sure they know what resources will be needed at their next outing or festival; using operational medical practices used in state ambulance systems across Australia. Finally, an important point is making sure there's always someone on duty who has experience managing large-scale events like these which require adequate teams managed by an experienced commander ready 24/7.
