event emergency care
Organising a public event or sports tournament?  Need first aid providers?  New Zealand Red Cross Event Emergency Care can help. 

We can provide an appropriately sized team of qualified first aiders with the necessary resources to look after your staff, team members/participants/performers and members of the general public attending your event. 

NB This service is currently only provided in some parts of the country, but we are developing the capability in other areas, and it may easily be in place in your area by the time your event is to occur. 

Give us a call on 0800 RED CROSS (0800 733 276) to discuss your needs, or send us your details.

want to become an event first aider?

We maintain a register of trained people who help us provide first aid services at public events.  If you have current first aid qualifications (PHEC/Core 3 preferred), good communication skills, would be available for further training and would like to support your community as an event first aider, please apply online.  By their nature event first aider positions are casual and much of the available work is outside normal business hours.
