First Aid-Australian Red Cross

Australian Red Cross

About this app

Simple. Free. It can save a life. The official Australian Red Cross First Aid app gives you instant access to the information you need to know to handle the most common first aid emergencies. Interactive and simple step-by-step advice means it’s never been easier to know first aid. 

Developed for the Australian market as part of a global project by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies and Red Cross’ Global Disaster Preparedness Centre the APP features up to date CPR and First Aid guidelines as set out by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC).

To ensure your app content is available at the time of an emergency, please open the app upon installation so the app can retrieve all relevant local content before the need strikes.

Ratings and reviews

A good app, but.......... On the Test section for "heart attack" you are asked to select four possible indicators. Not all the options are shown on a full screen, so if you don't know to scroll down you will miss seeing all options. Needs fixing!

Some parts appear to have missing content. Big red dots (dot points?) And no words. Some sections have repeated/omitted words and spelling errors. All information in an app for use in emergencies should be clearly displayed and accurate.

Content is good. However, many links within this app, which are supposedly meant to link to various parts of the Red Cross website, are broken. eg if you are interested in purchasing a First Aid kit, it says We couldn't find the page you were looking for. The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available. It seems most of the links unfortunately do this. Hopefully they fix them soon.
