Having adequate medical supplies at any sporting match and training is a major priority. In order to prepare players for the game and manage any injuries that occur (on and off the field), it is important to have a well-maintained first aid kit and treatment area, such as a designated first aid room. Sports Medicine Australia has made a list of items that should be included in a first aid kit, as well as a recommendation of the facilities and contents that are required for a first aid room. The list can be found at www.smartplay.com.au under the section ‘Resources/Links’. Other initiatives that can benefit clubs can also be found at this website. The AFL currently has a relationship with St John’s Australia, who provide assistance with everything first-aid related, kits, training etc. For more information on what St John’s can provide your club, please visit their website:www.st.john.com.au
