One of our biggest training blocks last year was eight solid days of accredited training at Moolarben Coal.

Across surface and underground, the crews showed solid teamwork, strong engagement and a genuine commitment to improving their emergency response capability.

We covered Advanced First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation & Oxygen Therapy, Pain Management, and Occupational First Aid, as well as lots of hands-on simulations.

Huge thanks to everyone involved for pulling everything together behind the scenes.

Supporting Teen Mental Health: From Everyday Challenges to Crisis Care

Last year I had the pleasure of hosting a Teen Mental Health night, alongside Eliza Daley, Pierrick Jacquety, Kate Woods (not pictured).

It was a chance to bring parents, carers and community members together to talk openly about what our young people are facing.

We covered everything from day-to-day support and building connection, through to recognising early warning signs and knowing how to respond in a crisis. The conversation was honest, practical and grounded in real experiences.

The feedback from attendees was incredibly positive, and it was great to be able to answer questions specific to people’s own situations.

Nights like this remind us how much our community cares, and how powerful it is when we learn together.

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed.

Last year's Level 1 emergency exercise at Glencore's Ulan West Underground was one of the most valuable simulations we’ve been part of.

The simulation was an underground vehicle accident and subsequent fire, and it pushed crews to think quickly, communicate clearly, and manage patients in a genuinely challenging environment.

Our role was to provide the patients and injuries (complete with real time bleeding capabilities and moulage), and observe and assess how teams triaged, treated and supported the “patients". It was great to see people stepping up and working together under pressure.

We were also lucky enough to share dinner and conversation with Glencore’s Heads of Safety. It was a rare and incredibly valuable chance to talk openly about risk, capability and the realities of incident response.

Thank you to everyone involved for making the exercise such a powerful learning experience.

These scenarios make a real difference and we’re proud to support the teams who run toward the hard work.

These photos capture some of the action from our recent accredited training with the team at Moolarben. We covered both surface and underground across the entire complex.

We worked through Advanced First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation & Oxygen Therapy, Pain Management, and Occupational First Aid, with plenty of hands-on simulations to bring the learning to life.

It was an awesome effort from the whole crew, and it is always great to see teams leaning into the scenarios and building real-world capability.

We spend a lot of time on the road driving to training sites. It’s part of the job. Honestly, I don’t mind it! I’ve learned to treat that time as an opportunity, not just a commute.

I’m a big believer in the power of knowledge and the value of intellectual property. So I use every spare minute I can to learn, reflect, and grow.

Lately, I’ve been diving into podcasts while I drive. The Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett and The Mel Robbins Podcast have been on recent rotation and I am loving them. They’re thought-provoking, honest, and full of insights that stick with you.

I’ve always calculated how to make the most of my time. Whether it’s listening to something that challenges my thinking, planning the next training session in my head, or just taking a moment to reset.

I make every minute count.

Time is one of the few things we can’t get back. I choose to fill mine with things that move me forward.

When we kicked off our training days with the team at Ulan Glencore it was an incredibly strong start.

We spent valuable time with their training department, who are clearly committed to building a long-term partnership with us. That commitment is reflected in the way they’re investing in practical, hands-on learning.

The team have set up the back of an SMV right outside their training rooms, giving staff the chance to practise loading and unloading patients in a realistic setting. It’s a simple but powerful resource, and the feedback so far has been incredibly positive.

Staff are loving the opportunity to get a real feel for the equipment and build confidence in managing a casualty inside the vehicle. It’s exactly the kind of training we aim to deliver, relevant, practical, and built around the realities of the job.

We recently hosted a pilot training course with the team at Forestry Corporation of NSW. It was a chance for them to get a feel for how we deliver our sessions, and for us to understand the unique needs of their crews.

One of the standout moments from the day was seeing staff engage with our LED-feedback manikin. This is a training tool that simulates blood flow and displays real-time pressure during compressions. It’s designed to help participants understand exactly how effective their CPR technique is, and it’s a great example of how we prioritise hands-on, evidence-based learning.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. It’s always rewarding to work with teams who are genuinely invested in safety and preparedness.

We’re now looking at rolling out training across all of their depots in the Central West, tailoring each session to suit the risks and realities of their work environment.

Big thanks to everyone who took part in the pilot. Everyone at Central West First Aid Training Specialists are excited about what’s ahead.

Last year, I connected with Guy Only, the driving force behind The Onsite Coach, and on one of my trips to Mudgee we actually managed to cross paths!

Guy’s work focuses on injury prevention, manual handling, and workplace safety. These areas that perfectly complement what we do at Central West First Aid Training Specialists.

With nearly two decades of frontline paramedic experience behind us, and Guy’s expertise in proactive safety and injury prevention, together we share a common goal: empowering people with practical, hands-on skills that make a real difference in the workplace.

It’s always inspiring to connect with like-minded professionals who are passionate about building safer, more prepared teams.

We’re looking forward to following along with Onsite Coach’s journey, and hope we can collaborate in the future to further strengthen workplace safety and team readiness.
