Elevating the Clinical Scope
For the Professional Clinician
The TECC Provider course is the advanced application of tactical medicine, specifically designed for those with an existing clinical scope of practice. It prepares medical professionals to operate forward of the traditional "Green Zone," bringing life-saving care directly into dynamic and high-risk environments.A Lineage of Excellence
Developed by NAEMT and based on the renowned Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) curriculum, this course translates proven battlefield successes into the civilian response framework. It is the most recognisable tactical medical qualification for civilian agencies globally.

- Haemorrhage Control & Wound Packing: Master the use of haemostatic agents, junctional tourniquets, and pressure dressings under stress.
- Chest Trauma & Respiration: Expert application of chest seals and management of penetrating thoracic injuries.
- Fluid & Analgesia Protocols: High-consequence procedural training for fluid therapy and pain management in austere settings.
- Mass Casualty Management: Learn to coordinate care and triage casualties during active, multi-threat incidents.
Course Details
Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) is the next iteration in the PHTLS family and a set of guidelines and principles for providing medical care for trauma in high threat or dynamic environments. It the realisation that ‘trauma is agnostic’ and thus a near direct correlation on the proven success of the (military) Tactical Combat Casualty Care continuum. It has adjustments to various civilian relevant terminology, response and process explanations specific to domestic frameworks.
TECC aims to minimise preventable deaths and reduce morbidity by providing care that is practical, effective, and relevant to the tactical, high risk or dynamic setting.
TECC is divided into 2 levels of skills (responders and providers) suited to their role and environment;
1. TECC- Law Enforcement & First Responder (TECC-LEFR) The basic skills for any responsder to stop massive bleeding, provide and manage an airway, treat chest trauma, recognise head injury and prevent hypothermia.
2.TECC (Provider) is the advanced application for medics, paramedics and other clinicians to prepare them to operate forward of the ‘Green/ Evacuation Zone’ typical of where normal Ambulance operations will be positioned.

Why These Courses Matter
Interoperability: Standardising the medical response across Police, Fire, and Ambulance ensures a seamless transition of care during multi-agency incidents.
Evidence-Based: All curriculum is based on the latest trauma data and is underwritten by our Australian physician-led governance.
Realistic Stress-Inoculation: We move beyond the classroom, using high-fidelity simulations to ensure these skills are "muscle memory" when the pressure is on.
