About
Our Mission
At South Coast First Aid, our purpose is to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to give the gift of time.
- Time to enjoy life with loved ones.
- Time to make different choices.
- Time to say goodbye, when it is time.
Our story began in 2009, when Greg and Colleen White founded South Coast First Aid Training. As a paramedic, Greg often heard people say, “I wish I’d known what to do.” Those words inspired him to teach First Aid in a practical, approachable way, helping ordinary people feel confident to act in extraordinary moments.
In 2019, Greg and Colleen passed the baton to Colleen Allan, who brought with her over 20 years of experience training people from all walks of life. Colleen has developed and delivered nationally accredited courses across both the public and private sectors, including Provide First Aid, CPR, Advanced Resuscitation, Provide First Aid in an education and care setting, Spinal Management, Lifeguarding and Remote Area First Aid.
Under her leadership, South Coast First Aid continues to grow as a trusted local training provider, proudly serving the Shoalhaven and beyond. Our training team brings together a wealth of real-world experience, ensuring every session is grounded in genuine expertise and practical application.
Our trainers don’t just teach CPR and First Aid, they share knowledge, skills and confidence built on lived experience, professionalism, and care. Our courses are contextualised to your needs and focus on the practical application of first aid skills through scenario based training. These techniques bridge the gap between the classroom and real life, building the confidence and ability to respond in an emergency. Whether you’re learning CPR for the first time or refreshing advanced skills, you’ll leave equipped and empowered to respond when it matters most.
At South Coast First Aid, we believe CPR / First Aid is more than a qualification, it’s a way to care for your community, protect those you love, and give the gift of time.
