First Bike on Scene Australia
Motorcycle Trauma Training delivered by Registered Paramedics
Traditional First Aid courses only provide limited if any information specific to Motorcycle related trauma. They also presume that Emergency Services are generally within 20 minutes of an incident.
A large portion of Motorcycle incidents occur greater than 20 minutes from the closest available Emergency First Responders and by the nature of incidents the potential for serious or significant injury is higher than in other activities.
First Bike on Scene (FBoS) was developed to fill training gaps for Motorcycle Enthusiasts.
As a professional Paramedic and First Responder our Director and Principal Trainer Michael has responded to multiple motorcycle related incidents over his long career.
As a First Aid Trainer, Michael is acutely aware of the training shortfalls, relating to trauma, within traditional First Aid Courses.
After searching the Planet, he came across First Bike on Scene UK Ltd, made contact, liked the program and First Bike on Scene Australia was born in early 2018.
What sets our Program apart from other Courses & Providers
You wouldn't use an Ice Cream Container as a Helmet when you ride. So why would you take a First Aid Course run by someone with only a First Aid Certificate and Motorbike Licence?
First Bike on Scene: Emergency Response Skills is delivered ONLY by Registered Operational Paramedics that are also Motorcyclists.
This guarantees that you will be taught skills that are evidence based medicine, worlds best practice and that comply to Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines.

Our Team
Founder & Principal Trainer
Michael is an operational Paramedic with a State Ambulance Service. During his 25 years he has been stationed at rural, remote and metropolitan locations. This has given him a unique insight into the challenges faced when responding to incidents, with only limited resources available and sometimes long distances from Hospital.
Michael has served in the Army Reserve for almost 10 years as a Medic and now a Combat Paramedic. This experience has given him an excellent grounding in Trauma and Tactical Casualty Care. A duty of his current posting is to provide training and mentoring to both Reserve and Regular Army Soldiers in Army First Aid and Care of the Battlefield Casualty. Both these programs gave him the opportunity to hone his craft and started his journey to becoming an expert in trauma and haemorrhage care.
Michael is currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Tactical Medicine and a Graduate Diploma in Critical Care Paramedicine. Both of these qualifications will add to his extensive academic qualifications and short courses in Paramedics, Tactical Medicine and Pre-Hospital Trauma Care.
Michael was born into motorcycling family. Both his Dad and Uncle found success within the amateur ranks of Road Racing and Scrambles in the 60's and 70's. In the mid 80's, the Golden Age of Australian Road Racing, Michael began road racing first in the 250 Production category and later Historic road racing. Plus a brief stint as a monkey on a Formula 750 historic road race sidecar where they won 3rd in the State Title for the year. Following mixed success as a "C" grader, racing eventually gave way to Family commitments and a career in the Ambulance Service.
Currently mounted on a VFR750F, he recently introduced his 4 year old son to the joys of dirt biking. The family tradition is once more repeating itself as his eldest two boys began their love of everything motorcycling at Christmas 2004 when there was a KDX50 and PW80 under the Christmas tree.
As you would expect Michael has attended his fair share of Motorcycle accidents during 25 year Paramedic career, so he is acutely and personally aware of the need for enhanced and specialised First Aid Training for motorcyclists and their supporters.
First Bike on Scene is his opportunity to give back to the people and life style he grew up with. It is through First Bike on Scene he can support First Care Providers and continue to build an Army of Citizen Heroes.
Because "First There, First Care
Basic Steps in an Emergency Situation
In any Emergency Situation you need to RACE to Save a Life
Doing nothing or waiting for Help is not a Plan!
YOU need to be that HELP, Before HELP arrives.
Step 1. R = REACT
Recognise an Emergency and DO SOMETHING
Remove any DANGERS
Step up and Step in,
Take charge,
Use any First Aid training that you've received.
Begin your immediate Action Plan;
- DRS-ABCD
- MARCH-PAWS
Manage and Control DANGERS
Step 2. A = ACTIVATE
Get immediate HELP!
Grab Friends, Bystanders, other road users.
ACTIVATE Emergency Services. Dial 000
Step 3. C = CARE
Care for the Injured
- Consider the potential for a spinal cord injury.
- Manage LIFE threatening haemorrhage.
- Protect and Secure the patients Airway.
- Assist the patients Breathing.
- Deal with other injuries.
- Protect them from the elements. Keep them Warm.
*Helmet Removal. If the patients helmet is obstructing their Airway or preventing haemorrhage control to the head, it should be removed.
This is in line with Australian Resuscitation Councils Guidelines.
Step 4. E = EVACUATE
How will the patient get to Hospital? Think about where you are?
- Will the Emergency Services be able to find you quickly and easily?
- Do Emergency Services need any specialist equipment?
- Can Emergency Services access the patient easily once they arrive?
- Does the patient need a Rescue Helicopter? Where can it land?
Once you have the answer to these and any other questions, make sure the Emergency Services are informed. The more information they receive before the First Responders arrive the sooner additional or specialist teams and equipment can be despatched.

First Bike on Scene in the Media
Why don’t medics rush at a crash scene?
Fear of liability may prevent first aid for crashed riders

If you’ve ever been a witness at a motorcycle crash scene you may have noticed that medics do not seem to be in any rush.
There are several very good reasons for the calm and almost painstakingly slow attitude of first responders at a crash scene.

Crash witnesses are sometimes too scared of being sued to provide first-aid or assistance to crashed riders, says paramedic Michael Beak of First Bike on the Scene Australia.
“There is a lot of misinformation about the legalities of helping a crash victim on social media,” he says.
“I put in a lot of effort to reassure people during my courses that the chances of being sued is virtually zero.
