CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

The CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of contents (50%), performance (30%), and ease of use (20%).

Essential contents score View more details.

We look through the contents of each kit to see which essential items are included. Our list of essential items is sourced from the 'Portable first aid kits for use by consumers' standard (AS 2675) and is listed in our first aid kits buying guide. Though the standard has lapsed and is no longer enforced, its inventory list is still a relevant guide for our test. Most kits include one or more additional items that may be useful but are non-essential for a home kit. These don't contribute to the essential contents score.

Performance score View more details.

A panel of first aid experts conduct a practical assessment of the kit to see if the contents (including extra items) can treat common injuries. Our experts include two CHOICE first aid officers and a nurse manager and educator with an extensive clinical background in emergency and ICU.

Ease of use score View more details.

General assessment of the kit, layout, build quality and ease of accessing and repacking the items.

Suitability for untrained users View more details.

Our expert panel assesses how easy it is for someone without first aid training to locate and use the correct equipment to treat common injuries.
