About Trade Aid Kits
First Aid For When She'll Be Right Goes Wrong.
Every tradie knows the saying.
Most of the time, things go to plan.
But when they don't,
being prepared makes all the difference.
We're an Australian-owned business making
practical, well-organised first aid kits
for tradies, work vehicles and worksites.
Because she'll be right isn't a first aid plan.
How It All Started
It Started With Surf Aid. Then Came The Trades.
Before there was Trade Aid Kits, there was Surf Aid Kits.
We started out in 2020 as Surf Aid Kits. That was the beginning of our first aid business, before we found a clearer direction in the trades.
We saw an opportunity to make first aid kits more practical for people working out of utes, workshops and construction sites. Too often, the kit felt like an afterthought rather than something designed around the people using it.
In 2021, Surf Aid Kits became Trade Aid Kits. We shifted our focus towards tougher bags, better organisation and practical first aid supplies suited to everyday work.
We've continued improving the range since. There's always another detail to rethink, another product to develop or a better way to make first aid easier to keep close by.

Trade Aid Kits
A new focus on first aid for Australian tradies and their worksites.
The name changed, but the idea stayed simple: first aid should be practical, organised and ready when you need it.
What Guides Us
Small Details. Better First Aid.
We don't think a better first aid kit is about adding more for the sake of it. It's about making the useful things easier to carry, find and replace. That's what guides our approach to designing Trade Aid Kits.
01
Designed for the Workday
First aid kits get stored in utes, moved between jobs and kept in busy workshops. We design our bags with those everyday conditions in mind, not just how a kit looks on a shelf.
02
Easy to Find What You Need
When someone needs first aid, the last thing they want is to dig through a jumble of supplies. Clear labelling and thoughtful organisation help make finding the right items simpler.
03
Practical Supplies
We focus on supplies suited to the injuries tradies may face, with useful quantities of everyday essentials. And when something gets used, we want restocking to be simpler than replacing a perfectly good bag.
Beyond the Kit
The Work Matters. So Do the People.
We're proud of how far Trade Aid Kits has come, but we're not finished improving what we do. We'll keep listening to tradies, refining our products and finding practical ways to make first aid better for the people who rely on it.
