AN120505 – Social and Community Services Employees (State) Award

32. FIRST-AID ALLOWANCE

32.1 An employee who holds a current first-aid certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association or Australian Red Cross Society or equivalent qualification and who is required by their employer to be available to perform first-aid duty at their workplace shall be paid an allowance as set out in Item 1 of Table 5 of Part IX of this Award with a minimum payment of one day.

NOTE: It is not the intention of this clause to require an employer to pay the First Aid Allowance to an employee more than once per shift. To avoid doubt, where an employee performs work on a shift which extends from one day to the next, the employer shall only be required to pay one First aid allowance to the employee.
