The other thing is not just owning a first aid kit, but knowing how to use it effectively.

First aid courses cost about $80 for a full days CPR and basic trauma training with St Johns. Well worth it.

Not to mention plenty of jobs these days require you hold a first aid certificate, so it looks good on a resume.

plus, some companies (like mine) pay u extra on your wage for being trained. They pay staff here $16.30 per week extra so it pays itself off in just over a month

I did my 1st First aid course with the ambos, paid for itself within the first week once being first onsite a motor bike bingle, the driver of the offending car took off.

Money well spent, and it's a day or two that will reward you in the long run!!

Ain, your advice saved a man's life last night... While we where working 2 men came running at me n Steve while standing on the door checking id's. One of the men grabbed Steve and used him as a shield while the other belted him with a cricket bat, I chased them off n checked I'd Steve was ok before following them around the back of the pub. The man with the bat was belting the other guy on the ground... I chased him off again and helped the bloke on the ground... The poor guy was bleeding from everywhere. We just held as much of the bleeding back till the ambo turned up... If my first aid kit wasn't in the car I wouldn't have been able to help him as well as I did... So yeah... Timely advice
