Medic Level Two

Medic Level Two

Pricing on enquiry

The Medic Level Two (MLT) course has been designed to build advanced, in-team medical capability for high-threat and tactical environments. Its mission is to develop the organic medical capacity required to save lives through a collaborative learning package tailored for frontline operators.

The program is underpinned by the HLT41120 Certificate IV in Health Care, a nationally accredited qualification that equips participants with the confidence and leadership skills to manage casualties in complex situations. This intensive training develops not only advanced medical responders but also team leaders capable of coordinating treatment and evacuation in critical incidents.

Unlike baseline TECC programs that provide only foundational intervention skills, the MLT delivers deeper theoretical knowledge and advanced practical capabilities. Students are trained to assess and stabilise critically injured or ill patients during the crucial window before advanced medical providers can take over, increasing survivability in both Hot and Warm zones of tactical operations.

Graduates emerge as highly capable tactical medics, skilled at providing point-of-injury stabilisation and evacuation for team members, the public, and even offenders in challenging and dynamic environments. The course blends eLearning, classroom instruction, hands-on skills stations, and high-fidelity scenario training with stress immersion to ensure participants can perform effectively under pressure.

Clinical Gap & Scope of Practice

The MLT course is intentionally designed with a clinical gap to be filled by a designated medical authority. This ensures that scope of practice and final clinical authority are aligned with organisational and operational requirements.

By completing the Medic Level Two (MLT), students gain advanced skills, accredited qualifications, and the ability to lead and deliver life-saving care in the most demanding operational environments.
