01 — overview

For any workplace that keeps a naloxone nasal spray in the first aid kit — pubs and clubs, security, construction, retail, warehousing, transport. What an opioid overdose does to breathing, the signs that separate drunk from dying, the Australian Nyxoid nasal spray step by step (call Triple Zero first, spray, roll, second dose), what happens after the spray, where the kit lives and what to do once it's been used, and why anyone in Australia can give it. About 35 minutes, online, certificate of completion. Free while it's new.

02 — who it’s for
  • Bar, floor and door staff, licensed crowd controllers
  • Site, warehouse, dock and shop staff who might be the one who finds them
  • Workplace first aiders who hold the kit
  • Managers and owners who decide what's in the kit, who's trained and what gets written down
03 — what’s covered
01

Seven a day

4 topics
  • 2,091 Australians died of an unintentional overdose in 2024 — nearly twice the road toll — and opioids were in 41.9% of them
  • Not who you think: oxycodone and codeine from a script, fentanyl patches, methadone, and the nitazenes in fake tablets
  • The killer is the breathing — and what naloxone does about it, why it can't harm someone who has no opioids on board, and why it wears off first
  • Take Home Naloxone: free, no prescription, from participating pharmacies since 1 July 2022
02

Can't wake them

4 topics
  • Six signs of an opioid overdose, and the two questions that decide it — responding? breathing normally?
  • Snoring is not sleeping: why 'let him sleep it off' is the mistake that kills
  • Call, spray, roll — DRSABCD with the Nyxoid nasal spray inside it, and the second device at two to three minutes
  • After the spray: waking up angry, the handover to paramedics, nitazenes, and why 'I'm fine' still means hospital
03

The kit and the law

4 topics
  • Below 30 degrees, never frozen, not the ute — where the kit lives and how to check it
  • The hour after it's used: hand over, write it in the first aid record, restock, check on the responder
  • Schedule 3 to buy, anyone to give: Queensland's exemption, and what New South Wales and Victoria say
  • One spoken scenario: talk a duty manager out of carrying a man out the back before the police drive past

04 — how it works
FormatTap-through microlearning — ~35 min · online. Built for phones, works everywhere. Start on smoko, pause, pick it up on the train.
PracticeScenario cards drop you into real situations along the way — you make the call a worker actually faces, then get the reasoning, straight up.
ChecksQuick knowledge checks in every module. Not exam-style — the course makes sure it sticks before it moves on.
You leave withA certificate of completion from an RTO-crafted course, issued instantly and logged in the Nexa Compliance Hub — with renewal reminders for you or your whole team.
No. This is an awareness course — practical, RTO-authored online training that issues a certificate of completion. It is not a nationally recognised unit of competency.
~35 min · online. Delivery: online, self-paced. Start, pause, and finish whenever suits.
It's free while it's new. We've just released it and we want it in the hands of the people who keep a naloxone kit — the price on this page is the current one, and it may change later. Free or not, it's the full course: three modules, the practice conversations and the spoken scenario, with a certificate of completion at the end.
No. Naloxone is a Schedule 3 (pharmacist only) medicine, but that governs how it's sold, not who can use it. Queensland's medicines rules make giving Take Home Naloxone to a person an exempt activity, and New South Wales and Victoria say plainly that anyone can administer it. The course covers the law on its own cards, and tells you where Queensland's good Samaritan protections are narrower than other states'.
In Australia the nasal spray is Nyxoid — 1.8 mg, two single-dose devices per box, and the only naloxone nasal spray registered here. The 'Narcan nasal spray' you see in American content is a different product with different dosing; the Narcan sold in Australia is an injection. The course is built on the Australian Nyxoid consumer medicine information, step by step.
Naloxone acts on opioid receptors and nothing else. Give it to someone who is drunk, diabetic or has had a head knock and it has essentially no effect — no harm done. That is why the rule in the course is: unresponsive and not breathing normally, call Triple Zero and give it. Being wrong costs nothing; waiting does.
Under the Australian Government's Take Home Naloxone program, naloxone has been free and available without a prescription since 1 July 2022 to anyone who may witness an opioid overdose — from participating community pharmacies, some hospital pharmacies and alcohol and other drug services, with a locator map online. Nyxoid can also be bought over the counter. The course covers where the kit should live, how to check it and how to restock it after use.
No. This is awareness training — it is not nationally recognised and it's not a substitute for a first aid course like HLTAID011 Provide First Aid. It gives your people the recognition, the response and the confidence to use the spray that's already in the kit. If you want workplace first aiders trained and assessed, see our nationally recognised first aid courses.
