Football Queensland has released a First Aid Guide in partnership with First Aid Accident & Emergency to assist clubs across the state in providing a safe environment for all participants and spectators.
Housed on Football Queensland’s Club Support Hub alongside a range of other club guides and resources, the First Aid Guide contains valuable information on match day requirements, automated external defibrillator packages and incident management plans.
“Football Queensland is committed to ensuring our football clubs and venues are safe environments for all Queenslanders,” FQ CEO Robert Cavallucci said.
“We’re delighted to launch our First Aid Guide today to provide clubs with an additional level of support ahead of the 2023 season, including recommendations on first aid personnel, equipment, and processes and procedures to keep members of our game safe.
“It has been fantastic to draw on the expertise of First Aid Accident & Emergency to develop this tailored guide for clubs across the state, and we look forward to continuing to work with them to help our clubs deliver safer environments for all participants.”
“As Football Queensland’s official First Aid & Defibrillator partner, we’re delighted to have supported FQ in the development and launch of the First Aid Guide for Queensland clubs at every level of the game,” First Aid Accident & Emergency Director Scott Whimpey said.
“There are many simple measures that can make a big difference when it comes to managing a potentially harmful or life-threatening situation, and we’re hopeful that the First Aid Guide will provide clubs with the knowledge to put these measures in place to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the game.”
