After extensive discussion with an extensive range of key stakeholders from across the first aid and outdoor sectors, advisory group members have determined that this unit standard is no longer fit for purpose. As such, it has been proposed to be expired without replacement at the end of December 2025.
Accepted first aid practices relating to 6400, 6401 and 6402 and long-term care will be added to the guidance document held on the Toitū te Waiora website: First Aid as a Life Skill – Toitū te Waiora (toitutewaiora.nz)
The remaining components of 424 can be found in other existing outdoor unit standards.
Please note that 424 was not intended to be used in schools and that there are alternative units that are more suited. (listed below).
