First Aid and Safety
Safely exploring Australia and the world
Ellwood Motorcycle Adventures aims to make the most unforgettable experience for anyone who joins us on our tours throughout Australia and now the world, however to get to the amazing places we visit on tour sometimes we can be a long way from help.
Most of Ellwood Motorcycle Adventures tours are in very remote areas therefore it is essential that we are as self-sufficient as possible. Our aim is to make everyone who joins us not only have that bucket list adventure of a lifetime but feel safe and comfortable knowing we are there to help in the unlikely event of an emergency situation.
We like to be as prepared as possible for all situations and skill level on each tour so we always have multiple guides on each ride to split the group if needed depending on skill level and fatigue levels. We have many systems in place whilst on tour to make the riding as safe, organised and fun as possible for everyone that joins our adventures. Some of our guides are qualified motorcycle off-road coaches that are available for assistance on riding techniques and support throughout the whole trip.
This is a great benefit for the less experienced riders or even if you want to brush up on some skills to make your ride as fun and safe as possible.
We have experienced and qualified guides on tour every step of the way, Every tour has a support vehicle on hand in case of a breakdown or emergency and our guides are equipped with EPRIB’s, satellite phones, UHF radio, and multiple first aid kits to deal with injuries we may face, each guide is trained and certified to administer pain relief and have a Penthrox inhaler (green whistle) for emergency pain relief if required. All guides and crew are knowledgeable on the locations of all hospitals, medical clinic, and RFDS medical chest in the remote areas we travel.
For anyone who is not aware the Royal Flying Doctor Service provide medical kits to eligible people in remote areas. These medical kits contain a range of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical items, which enable emergency and non-emergency treatment to be given to people living and working remote areas where there is no access to a hospital or clinic. These RFDS medical kits have saved countless lives in remote areas all over Australia.
Ellwood Motorcycle Adventures take Safety and First Aid very seriously. We require all our guides have had extensive training and experience in
- remote first aid
- cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- basic emergency life support
- providing pain management
