Why This Course Was Created

This course wasn't created from a textbook or because it was the latest trend. It was built from more than 32 years of riding experience, real motorcycle crashes, military emergency management principles and the lessons learned along the way.

Motorcycling has been part of our family for three generations. Jenna still remembers receiving her very first motorbike for Christmas at just four years old. Growing up in a family of riders, weekends were spent exploring the roads together—a tradition that continues today with her parents, husband Ryan and daughter enjoying Sunday rides to the local café.

Like many riding families, we've also experienced the other side of motorcycling. We've dealt with numerous motorcycle injuries, hospital trips, the heartbreaking loss of a close family member in a motorcycle crash, and the frightening reality of crashing alone with no one knowing where help was needed.

This course was designed by Jenna, combining over 32 years of riding and crash experience with her background as an Australian Army veteran, nationally accredited first aid trainer and emergency management professional. Ryan contributes his extensive riding experience, together with his background as a first responder and Workplace Health and Safety professional.

Together, we've created a course that goes beyond standard first aid. Every discussion, demonstration and scenario is based on real situations riders may face—not just what a textbook says.

Our goal is simple: to help riders stay calm, make good decisions and provide effective care until emergency services arrive.

What Makes This Course Different?

Motorbike crashes present unique challenges that aren't always covered in traditional first aid courses.

This course teaches you not only what to do, but how to think, assess risks and prioritise actions in the critical minutes following a crash.

Using trauma manikins, simulated bleeding and realistic scenarios, you'll gain practical experience in a safe learning environment.

What You'll Learn

• Scene safety and hazard assessment

• Emergency communication and calling for help

• Planning before you ride

• Managing catastrophic bleeding

• Casualty triage

• Helmet removal considerations

• Suspected spinal and pelvic injuries

• Road rash and burn management

• Handover to emergency services

• Practical motorcycle crash scenarios

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for:

• Road riders

• Adventure and off-road riders

• Motorcycle clubs and riding groups

• New riders

• Pillion passengers

• Family and friends of riders

• Anyone who may be first on the scene of a motorcycle crash

We hope you never need these skills. But if the day ever comes, we want you to have the confidence to step forward and make a difference until emergency services arrive.
