Need your response team trained in safe pain management? We'll come to you.
On-site PUAEME008 training for first responders and workplaces requiring analgesic administration (HLTAID011 required first). Prefer a public course? We run regular sessions at Tomago and Nelson Bay.
Requires current HLTAID011, available on-site or at our Nelson Bay and Tomago centres
At Anzen Safety & Training, we deliver nationally recognised pain management training designed for first responders, emergency service personnel and medically supervised first aid providers. Delivered at our Nelson Bay and Tomago training centres, this course supports participants across Port Stephens, Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley who are required to provide safe and effective pain relief as part of their role. Our trainers bring real frontline experience from emergency and clinical settings, so you're learning from people who've genuinely managed these situations.
The PUAEME008 course develops the skills and knowledge needed to assess, prepare and administer approved analgesics in accordance with medical protocols and organisational procedures. Participants will learn to identify the need for analgesia, prepare and deliver medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetamol, methoxyflurane (green whistle) and Entonox, and manage accurate record-keeping and compliance through a Drug Register.
Through hands-on, scenario-based training, you'll build the confidence to provide safe pain relief, complete effective casualty handovers, and ensure best-practice care within first response or emergency environments.
We also work with larger teams and corporate groups, training staff together at our Tomago facility, or on-site at your workplace. It's an efficient way to build a genuinely capable, confident team.

Pain management isn't just about giving medication. It's about assessing the patient, understanding the cause of the pain and following organisational procedures and scope of practice.
-
Yes. Understanding pain helps responders gather better information and communicate more effectively with ambulance crews.
-
You'll be able to administer restricted analgesics, including methoxyflurane (the "green whistle") and Entonox, as well as aspirin, ibuprofen and paracetamol, as part of a medically supervised first response setup. That's well beyond what any general first aid course covers.
-
Possibly, depending on your organisation, the specific medications involved, and your state or territory, it's worth checking with your employer or organisation beforehand, since this can affect how the skills are actually used on the job.
