Our corporate vision is to prepare Australia’s First Responders in stopping the preventable causes of death at the point of injury.

We are proud of both our Military and Emergency Medical backgrounds. With decades of experience “on the tools” we know what works and what doesn’t.

OUR CORE VALUES

COLLABORATION

It’s “we” and not “I”. Both clients and the TacMed team, we’re in it together striving for a cause: Preserving human life. We believe in the greater good of the team and not for self. A team can do more than an individual.

AGILITY

We are agile in our approach. Change is an opportunity and not a threat. We are able to improvise, adapt and overcome obstacles. Be willing to move fast and easily.

REPUTATION

We promise what we can deliver and then aim to deliver more than we promise. We only get one chance to make a good impression, so we make it count. We deliver products, service and training that is memorable. We believe in our brand before profits.

EMOTIONAL IQ

“People skills” will always trump “technical skills”. Be empathetic/ have the perspective to put yourself in other peoples shoes. Be positive and motivated. The person everyone wants to be around at the party. Ego is the enemy of success.
