Minutes Matter. Be the Difference.
Professional, Practical First Aid Training Tailored for Bathurst, Lithgow, and Cowra.
Why First Aid Matters
An emergency doesn’t wait. Neither should you.
Most health emergencies happen in the places we feel safest—at home, on the farm, or in the workplace. When the unexpected occurs, the first few minutes are the most critical. Having the skills to provide CPR or manage a severe allergic reaction isn’t just a workplace requirement; it is a life-saving gift to your family, your colleagues, and your community.
In regional areas like the Central West and Blue Mountains, professional medical help can sometimes be a distance away. Being the “first responder” on the scene means you are the vital link in the chain of survival.
We are locally owned and operated because we care about the Central West. We live here, we work here, and we want to ensure our neighbors are the best-prepared people in NSW.
The “Tailored” Difference
“We named our business ‘Tailored’ because no two environments are the same. We adapt our scenarios to your specific needs—whether you’re in a Bathurst office, a Lithgow school, or a Cowra farm.”
Our Story: Why We Do What We Do
Local Knowledge. Clinical Expertise. Real-World Skills.
Tailored First Aid was born out of a simple realization: Training shouldn’t be a “tick-box” exercise. Our founder, Fiona Taylor (BMedSci), started her journey in remote communities where “doing it right” meant the difference between a recovery and a tragedy. After 23 years of teaching, Fiona realized that people learn best when the training feels real.
We don’t just teach you how to pass a test. We run this business to ensure that:
- Parents feel confident managing a choking incident at the dinner table.
- Farmers know how to handle a trauma injury in a remote paddock.
- Educators are experts in asthma and anaphylaxis care for their students.
- Workplaces stay compliant while building a genuine culture of safety.

What Our Students Have To Say
"Finally, training that actually fits our schedule." "We’ve had several trainers come through our office over the years, but Fiona’s approach is different. Being locally owned, she actually understands the risks we face here in Bathurst. She didn't just read from a slide deck; she tailored the scenarios to our specific warehouse layout. Her Medical Science background really shines through when she explains the 'why' behind the treatment, but she keeps it so practical that my whole team walked away feeling genuinely confident. Highly recommend Tailored First Aid for any local business."

Bathurst"A must for anyone living on the land." "Living on a property outside of Cowra, my biggest fear has always been an accident where help is a long way off. Fiona’s experience in remote first aid was invaluable. She spent time showing my teenage kids exactly what to do if I was injured out on the farm. She made them feel capable rather than scared. It’s clear she’s been doing this for 20+ years—she has an answer for every 'what if' scenario you can throw at her. It’s the most 'hands-on' certification I’ve ever done." — Sarah J., Cowra

Cowra"Expertise you can trust for Childcare & Schools." "I took the 'First Aid in an Education and Care Setting' course with Fiona in Lithgow, and it was fantastic. Her specialized knowledge in asthma and anaphylaxis management gave our staff so much peace of mind. She has a very approachable, 'tailored' teaching style—nothing felt rushed, and we practiced the physical skills until they were second nature. You can tell she truly cares about the community. It wasn’t just a tick-box exercise; it was real preparation for our students' safety."
