Meetings Outdoors in Brisbane

General Health-Related

Melissa Dos Santos, Australia Wide First Aid chief operations manager, recommends Walk Meetings as a way to avoid the pitfalls of sedentary life.

The head office of Australia Wide First Aid is in the heart of the Brisbane CBD.

It wasn't always so centrally located. But health and wellness plays the central role in our culture and way of life. What could be more central than a shiny new office in Creek Street?

We relocated from Brisbane’s western corridor, following 24 years of being based in the suburbs. Our only regret is that we didn’t do it sooner!

After settling in to our new space, we wasted no time turning our attentions to other spaces… the best of the outdoor spaces this mighty river city has to offer.

Rather than sitting in an office for hour after hour, our dynamic Operations Manager Melissa Dos Santos wisely suggested what she calls "Walk Meetings" as a way to avoid the pitfalls of sedentary life.

The abundance of parks and walkways that is accessible from our front door has made our meetings productive, healthier, and something to look forward to.

It'd be a shame not to share some of our 5 favourite spots with you. Some of these should prove convenient meeting options for anyone living and working in Brisbane.

Providing First Aid to Someone with a Guide Dog

Guide dogs are invaluable companions for individuals with visual impairments, disabilities and illnesses, providing them with independence and mobility.

Mouth ulcers, also referred to as canker sores or aphthous ulcers, are small, painful lesions that commonly develop within the mouth, including the gums and tongue.
