Trade Aid Kits was built because there wasn't a first aid kit good enough for the people who build Australia. So we made one.
We're an Australian-owned brand based in Perth, WA. We design and supply premium first aid kits specifically for tradies, construction workers, and the mobile workforce — people who work in high-risk environments and deserve equipment that keeps up with the job.
Most first aid kits on the market are built for offices, classrooms, and family road trips. They're cheap, generic, and disorganised. On a construction site, in a mining camp, or on the back of a ute — that's not good enough. Trade Aid Kits are built differently.
Trade Aid Kits started with a simple observation — tradies are expected to carry first aid kits on site, but the kits available to them were designed for completely different environments. Generic green boxes full of bandaids and paracetamol wrappers, falling apart in the dust after a week in the ute.
We saw a gap between what was available and what was actually needed on a real Australian worksite — and we decided to fill it. We started designing kits from scratch: durable outer shells built from 5mm rip-stop material, heavy-duty weatherproof zips, clearly labelled compartments, and premium medical supplies chosen specifically for the injuries that happen in construction, trade, and industrial environments.
The result is a kit that looks as professional as the people who carry it, holds up in harsh conditions, and actually gets used when it matters.
With every Trade Aid Kit sold, we donate $3.90 to Lifeline Australia. That means for every 10 kits sold, we collectively fund the average cost of one Lifeline call — $39. We support Lifeline because the people who build this country face more than just physical hazards on the job. The construction industry has one of the highest rates of mental health challenges in Australia. We want to support our workers beyond physical safety alone.
We currently offer two kits designed for different worksite needs, plus a refill kit to keep you stocked and compliant:
Trade Aid Kits are used by tradies, construction businesses, safety managers, workshop operators, fleet managers, and anyone who needs a first aid kit that actually suits their environment. Our customers are electricians, plumbers, builders, carpenters, concreters, miners, and the business owners who send them out to work every day.
If you work in a demanding environment and you're sick of cheap kits that fall apart, this is the brand for you.
