I’m Britt Brennan, founder of REACHAU (Regional Education and Career Help Australia). I deliver nationally recognised First Aid training and trauma-informed career development that empowers people to act with confidence - especially in high-risk, regional, or under-served communities.
With a background in education and mental health, I focus on the why behind every skill I teach. Whether it's HLTAID011 for workplace compliance or confidence-building workshops for jobseekers, people leave my sessions not just certified - but genuinely prepared to help others.
I deliver tailored First Aid training and connect with local organisations ready to build practical skills into their teams and communities.
If you’re looking for onsite First Aid courses, workplace compliance support, or engaging training with real-world impact - let’s connect.
We offer nationally accredited First Aid courses (HLTAID009, HLTAID011, HLTAID012, HLTAID013, HLTAID014) tailored to the needs of regional communities, high-risk workplaces, and industries where practical skills can save lives. Our training is trauma-informed, engaging, and designed to build genuine confidence – not just tick a compliance box.
Based in WA, REACHAU is currently offering training opportunities for local businesses, schools, jobseekers, and community groups. We come to you – delivering onsite training that fits your schedule and workplace context.
Whether you need First Aid certification for your team, support with compliance, or workshops that help people step into their next chapter with confidence, we’re here to help.

Distinguished and Famous people from Townsville Region
🏉 Johnathan Thurston
Johnathan Thurston joined the North Queensland Cowboys for the 2005 season and became a central figure in the Townsville-based club. Fourteen seasons produced 294 Cowboys appearances, captaincy and the club's 2015 premiership. His connection continued beyond playing through an ambassador role and support for community programmes, including NRL Cowboys House. The relationship therefore combines a long professional career with wider regional work. Townsville was the club home from which he developed much of the career that also brought representative honours for Queensland and Australia.
🌿 Rick Farley
Townsville-born Rick Farley became known for finding shared interests among groups often assumed to be opponents. His work with the National Farmers' Federation included cooperation with conservationist Phillip Toyne to help build the national Landcare programme. He later contributed to Indigenous reconciliation and negotiations involving land, conservation and rural communities. Earlier experience in journalism, politics and the cattle industry informed that ability to work across different perspectives. His Townsville birthplace is a clear local connection in a public career whose major negotiations extended across Australia.
🌊 Professor Helene Marsh
Helene Marsh's long association with James Cook University has helped make Townsville an important base for dugong research and marine conservation. Her work brings population biology together with questions of management, law and relationships between people and the sea. It has contributed to the scientific basis for dugong protection in the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait. She also supervised many postgraduate researchers and became the founding dean of JCU's Graduate Research School. Her regional connection combines sustained research, teaching and the development of scientific expertise in North Queensland.
⚖️ Eddie Koiki Mabo
Eddie Koiki Mabo's Townsville life included work as a gardener at James Cook University and the establishment of the Black Community School in 1973. The school aimed to educate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children while preserving knowledge and cultural practices. Conversations at the university also helped bring the conflict between traditional ownership and Australian land law into focus. Those experiences formed part of the path towards the Mabo case. His island origins were on Mer; Townsville was an important mainland home and centre of community activity.
