Workplace guidance
First aid readiness starts with the right equipment.
Victorian employers should assess their workplace risks and provide appropriate first aid arrangements. Equipment needs vary by workplace.
First aid kits
Kit contents, locations and quantities should be appropriate for workplace hazards, worker numbers and access to medical assistance.
Defibrillators
AED suitability depends on workplace circumstances. Not every Victorian workplace is universally required to install an AED. Follow relevant guidance and manufacturer instructions for upkeep.
This page provides general information, not legal or workplace-specific compliance advice. Review current WorkSafe Victoria guidance and assess your own workplace risks.
