No trauma or previous motorsport experience is required. All training is provided at the event and you will only be put in a role appropriate for your level of medical experience.

​

If you are a critical care doctor or nurse or paramedic those skills are obviously in demand at the motorsport events. But if you have 

MotoGP, World Superbikes and Formula 1 training is provided in the form of face to face practical sessions and online videos. 

For the two bikes events an email will be sent out prior to the event with a link to a video to watch and the Thursday in Phillip Island there is a practical simulation session at about 3pm at the track and then Thursday night 8pm there is an educational and practical session on removal of helmets, midline stabilisation, application of spinal collar and log rolls with spine boards.

For the F1s an email will be sent out prior to the event with a video to watch and a short quiz. On the Wednesday, the day before the F1s start, there is a whole day of education and training provided at the Albert Park track.

For other smaller events training will also be provided by the more experienced team members present.

Don't worry, you wont be asked to do anything you haven't been taught how to do or don't do in your usual day job!  

For bike events at Phillip Island you stay at the Ramada Resort or camp and for car events a beach house is where you will stay. For events interstate, accommodation is all organised and provided for you. For Melbourne events, unfortunately no accommodation is included but if you are from interstate and available to volunteer let us know and we can look into options.

The codes are below, but note that they are different for cars and bikes.

For car events:

Code 3 – Self-extricated from car appears uninjured

Code 2 – Unable to self-extricate from car due to injury or neck/back pain

Code 1 – Unconscious in car

For bike events:

Code 0 – Walking independently

Code 1 – Walking but needs assistance

Code 2 – Conscious but on the ground, will likely need spine board extraction

Code 3 – Not moving

 Whether you are a doctor, nurse, paramedic or student in any of these professions, we would love to have you. Even if you don’t fit into any of these the minimum requirement is a first aid certificate to be able to volunteer so reach out. 

​

The requirements vary for different roles within the team and you will be allocated and supported appropriately. The more experience you get the more roles you will be able to fill from Trackside posts to Pit lane medics, in the cars called "Victors" that go on track to incidences or in the medical centre.

​

If you are a non-critical care doctor or nurse your skills are definitely still required, you will just be placed in a role appropriate supported for your skill set. There is also support always available from the more senior members of our team.

We work at International motorsport events such as the Formula 1, MotoGP, World Superbikes and Supercars. We also have event coverage for car club events such as the Shannon's Nationals and Historics. 

​

We will supply you with some green overalls to wear for the event. We recommend bringing comfortable clothes to wear underneath as they will need to be returned at the end of the event.

​

Travel to interstate events outside of Victoria is organised by the team and will normally be a flight or in the case of Bathurst, you drive up in a convoy.

Contact us to arrange a ride for you or if you wanted you could hire a car but we are more than happy to help get you to events

Your role is to provide medical care to the drivers or riders participating in the events, mainly when a crash occurs. You are to assess them, apply a spinal collar if required and communicate back to race control your assessment in the form of a code and what you require for example, a boundary rider back to pits or medical centre, a victor or an alpha for transport of a patient. Some people will be allocated to the medical centre which runs like a mini ED resus.  

We will supply accommodation for most events- with the option to camp if you wish to do so in Phillip Island.
Lunches are provided (and can cater for any dietary requirements).

Your uniform is also supplied.

Depending on the event you will receive some merchandise memorabilia as well as 2 spare guest event passes for friends/family.

Where you are located each day changes from day to day for variety and your allocation can be influenced by your qualification.

At the bike events you will be rotated through track posts mainly and could even be in a victor, alpha or in med centre. The Med Centre Manager and Deputy Med centre manager are the ones who allocate you to a position each day.

For the car events, the team coordinator allocates those o the team to a different role each day in which you are notified of inn the morning team briefing.

For the F1s, the CMO Dr Brent May completes the allocations for the team and you will get an email with the allocations every night, for the next day.
