LifeAid Emergency Care

15/01/2026

We’re recruiting for a Training & Programs Administration Coordinator to be based full time at our HQ in Croydon South, Victoria.

This role sits at the centre of how our training programs actually run — supporting student onboarding, client bookings, course administration, and the quiet systems that make everything work.

We’re looking for someone who:
- enjoys bringing order to complex processes
- cares about people having a good experience
- values doing things properly, not quickly for the sake of it
- takes quiet pride in being reliable, organised, and trusted

This is not a high-turnover admin role or a stepping-stone position. It’s a role for someone who wants to settle in, build strong systems, and be genuinely relied upon by trainers, clients, and students.

If this sounds like you — or someone you know — you can find the full role details on Seek.

📍 Croydon South, Victoria
🕘 Full time
📩 Applications via Seek

The Training & Programs Administration Coordinator supports the administration and coordination of our training programs.

A quiet thank you to our LifeAid crews — and to the families and workplaces who support them — for the vigilance, readiness and flexibility they bring during our work during fire season.

Being on standby, adapting to changing conditions, and staying prepared over long days (and nights) is not easy.

Grateful to be working alongside so many committed people across emergency response at the moment ❤️

LifeAid teams are currently deployed and operationally ready in accordance with incident management arrangements, providing fireline medical and health monitoring support where requested.

Our focus is on firefighter safety, fatigue management, and integration within established command and control structures.

Crews remain available until formal stand-down as determined by incident requirements.

Christmas looks different depending on where you’re standing.

For some, it’s family and food.
For others, it’s a shift change, a radio check, or a long drive home.

To our clinicians, instructors, partners, and families — thank you for the work you do, seen and unseen, at this time of year and all year.

Stay safe. Take care of each other.

— LifeAid

LifeAid provides clinician-led fireline medical support for large-scale fire operations. We'd rather not sit on the edge of an incident waiting for something to happen. Instead, we embed with crews, incident management teams, and logistics, supporting the people doing the work over days and weeks, not just the first operational period.

Our focus is:
- Fatigue, heat load, hydration, and cumulative risk
- Early intervention before minor issues become evacuations
- Clinical continuity across long campaigns
- Supporting decision-making, not adding noise

Our business has been built by clinicians who have worked in remote, austere, and high-risk environments. The model is practical, calm, and designed to integrate into existing fire operations without disruption.

Fire doesn’t respect borders. Neither do we. LifeAid is deployable interstate, with established operations and drug authorities in Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia, and the capacity to scale in response to seasonal demand.

We exist to support the people who hold the line, so operations can keep moving safely and sustainably.

When events overwhelm words, action matters.

If you’re able, blood donation is one of the most practical ways to support the broader emergency and health response right now.

Thinking of our colleagues and communities. 🤍

This is a literal 'Heads Up' for the Warrandyte, North Warrandyte, South Warrandyte, Wonga Park & Park Orchards areas. TODAY you will see and hear firefighting aircraft doing laps of the area.

This activity is a fire agency exercise to demonstrate aircraft requirements, capabilities and assess possible local water sources - to support our fire fighting needs in an emergency. This is an incredible asset for our local planning to protect our community.

So please don't be alarmed, and instead appreciate this activity as CFA preparing for the summer ahead.

By Dr Kirstie Close Most people see a paramedic filling out paperwork and think it’s a chore — an administrative obligation squeezed between the “real work.” But when I look at images like the ones below — Andy hunched over a clipboard in the bush, or typing clinical notes in a small regio...

A little throwback to the early 2000s — stretchers next to the piano, audits in the spare room, remote sites, and LifeAid troopies that saw Elvis (it's a long story).

This was the decade where LifeAid grew its bones.

Hard work and a whole lot of heart.

If the 1990s were the foundational years of LifeAid — Vietnam, remote rigs, MICA ingenuity and young parents working in places most people never see — then the early 2000s were the years the business developed its bones. We didn’t have language like governance, frameworks, clinical oversight, ...

Where LifeAid's story really began... Not in Australia — but in Vietnam in the 1990s, alongside an extraordinary group of clinicians, operators, and characters who shaped the early days of remote medical work in the region.

Before LifeAid existed, teams were working in Vung Tau, Vietnam, delivering care in resource-limited environments — supporting expat clinics, petroleum operations, evacuations, and everything in between. People like Ian Wilson, Allan “Thundercloud” Cross, and so many others brought the mix of capability, calm, and grit that defined that era.

Those years formed the foundations of what remote medical support would eventually become — long before it had structure, standards, or a name.

I’ve finally written the story of those early days, and how they shaped the ethos LifeAid carries now. If you worked in the region, knew any of the crew, or remember those days — you might recognise some of the names, places, or photos.

Most people who meet us now see LifeAid as it is today: clinicians on firegrounds, medics on remote mining sites, hi viz shirts moving quietly and competently through high-risk environments. But the story of LifeAid doesn’t begin with our current operations.
