BIOGRAPHY
Bobby ‘The YAK’ Yaldwyn, former Bondi Rescue star and retired decorated paramedic, has finally removed himself from the frontline and has turned his focus to educating others on everything First Aid.
Bobby has spent 18 years working as a professional lifeguard on Australia’s busiest beach and has spent over 15 years as a paramedic with Ambulance NSW. He holds an Advanced Diploma in Paramedical Science and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and has also served as an educator for Ambulance NSW. During his career Bobby has performed countless successful resuscitations and has hands on experience treating almost every medical and traumatic event imaginable - all of which are experiences that he draws on when passing on his wealth of knowledge to the participants in his First Aid courses. Bobby also utilises qualified lifeguards and paramedics to assist with his first aid teaching and provides a fun and safe environment for all students.
In addition to his decorated career, Bobby also spends time helping with several local charities. He regularly assists with the North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club Nippers Program, where he teaches children how to swim and paddle boards in the ocean and provides water safety for the training squads. Being a surf coach, Bobby also spends time volunteering for Ocean Heroes – a charity who work with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, aiming to improve their wellbeing, confidence and self-esteem through surfing programs.

“Bob’s upbeat nature and expertise in the industry sets him apart from the rest. I booked Bob for a group First Aid Package with my team of 45. He came on site with another paramedic and ran a seamless day, from booking to execution of training the whole experience was seamless. Would recommend Bob for any corporate trading session you are looking to book.”
“Thanks for organising todays First Aid Training with Emergency First Aid training Shaz, The team and I were saying it was a really good team building exercise and we actually learnt a lot. Bobby was great and really was the real deal with his background.Thanks Again”
“Last Saturday we at Flystanwell undertook a first aid and CPR Course at Helensburgh tradies run by Bobby yaldwyn. I just want to thank Bobby and the team and give the highest praise to Bobby. Most of us had done first aid courses previously but Bobby by far exceeded our expectations in providing vital and useful information, experience and techniques for adequate first aid response.
The best thing, and what sets his teaching above the rest, is he taught us why the things we were doing such as CPR chest compressions where actually achieving at a clinical level, for example if we do not bring our hands off the chest during the recoil phase of CPR the heart will not fill, no one had ever taught us this previously. Everything about the course was next level to anything previously and im already looking forward to our next class. 10/10. ”
“I am pleased to write this reference for Emergency First Aid Training, who recently provided First Aid and CPR training for all of our staff here at Let’s Go Surfing.
From the outset, their team was professional, engaging, and highly knowledgeable. They took the time to ensure that each member of our staff fully understood the vital skills needed in an emergency, from CPR techniques to basic first aid. The training was not only thorough but also practical, with hands-on experience and real-life scenarios that allowed us to feel confident in our abilities should the need arise.
What stood out the most was the passion and dedication the trainers brought to their work. Their enthusiasm for first aid and CPR was infectious, and it was clear that they genuinely care about empowering people to save lives. They created a positive, interactive learning environment that made the training enjoyable, while still being incredibly informative and impactful.
We highly recommend Emergency First Aid Training to any organization looking to equip their team with essential life-saving skills. Their professionalism and commitment to quality training are unmatched, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.
