	BACKGROUND & INDONESIA PROJECT PROPOSAL - JUNE 2006/7 Frances Innes is the founder of FIRST AID SERVICES WA (FASWA) way back in 1996 and she initially intended to build the organisation up as a solely a family run outfit working in the local community. As the demand grew for the services it slowly became aware that extra staff would be required to assist the team face the different adverse challenge’s the new activities brought with them. From First Aid training to having staff available at the many community event in and around the city of Perth WA. Prior to the establishment of FASWA Frances and some other family members had worked as First Aid instructors on volunteer bases to the Red Cross and Royal Life Societies. Therefore, when FASWA came on the scene in 1996 it was not long before the organisation acquired registration and was endorsed by both societies in Australia as a professional training provider contractor. Throughout the trials and hard work FASWA staff have gained vast professional experience whether it be in the classroom or in the field, whilst providing the general public, communities and organisations with a friendly professional service. Following the many major disasters such as the tsunami and earthquakes that continue to cause hardship and grief to communities around our region FASWA endeavours IN 2006 and beyond to extend an open hand by venturing out into these communities to; Provide Emergency Response and First Aid Training Programs.
