Dog First Aid is not nationally recognised training on the Australian Quality Framework (AQF). This is a non-accredited course. There is currently NO accredited course in Australia under this framework for dog first aid.  

 

While canine first aid courses are not officially accredited within Australia, Dog First Aid Australia proudly aligns its curriculum with the nationally recognised competency ACMGAS206 - Provide Basic First Aid for Animals, and follows principles of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

This ensures our training meets rigorous professional standards—giving you confidence and peace of mind that you're learning from qualified, trusted experts dedicated to the highest standards of canine care.

Student Feeback

"My daughter & I did the course yesterday. Ashley was a great teacher. Put us all at ease with his down-to-earth nature & was very knowledgeable & experienced. No question was too hard for him. We learnt so much. Hope we never have to use it but confident if we do, we're well prepared. Most comprehensive Dog 1st Aid course we could find. Highly recommend. "


 “It was really cool to hear from someone experienced in a niche industry and give practical advice regular people can use.” 

"Highly recommended! As a dog industry worker, dog sports instructor and dog owner, it was very informative and useful course. It has been over 25 years since I first learned about humans and dogs. It was a meaningful time with lots of updates!!"


 I have attended numerous first aid courses, but this was by far the most relatable and attention-keeping. Ash had the ability to keep me focused throughout the entire course. His real-world experiences and knowledge were on another level and made information stick. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to be prepared and feel ready to help an animal (or human) should the situation arise. Ash will be my first go to, should I need to refresh my knowledge and skills. 

 "Excellent day. Ash is a natural teacher; honest, forthright and at all times himself, which allows his intense love of dogs and caring for them to come through. If you have a pet then you need to be prepared to look after them when everything goes t!ts up, to give them the best chance before you get them to the vet. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Plenty of hands-on activities to give you confidence should the need arise. Highly recommended for all dog owners." 


 "It wasn't just a presentation; it was a dialogue. And not the barking kind – the good kind, where humans actually learn stuff. "

Charity

For the year of 2024, we will be donating either a tampon pack or pad pack per student who enrols in any of our courses to Share the Dignity. 


Share the Dignity is a women's charity in Australia, that works to make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to women, girls, and anyone who menstruates who needs support. 


As most (97%) of our clientele is female, we believe this is a worthy cause for us to donate too that represents our clients and who we are. 


Access to period products should be a basic human right, the last thing on any woman's mind during tough times shouldn't be maintaining her femme hygiene products.
