Queensland Police Service
Scenario
Queensland Police respond to over a million calls to service every year. Many of those cases involve critically injured people including officers themselves being badly injured in the line of duty. Police had minimal first aid training and were not appropriately trained or equipped to provide lifesaving treatment in high-threat incidents such as active armed offender attacks.

Surf Lifesaving QLD
Scenario
Volunteer lifesavers at the 60 clubs throughout the state are often the first to apply treatment to major injuries such as shark bites and boat propeller injuries. With a long history of high-quality first aid on QLD beaches, Surf Lifesaving QLD required a major bleeding control kit to be carried to supplement their first aid kits which lacked modern major bleeding equipment.
