By undertaking this training you will gain the skills and knowledge required to provide a first aid response to infants and children in line with first aid guidelines determined by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.

This training applies to a range of workers within an education and care setting who are required to respond to a first aid emergency, including asthma and anaphylactic emergencies. This includes early childhood workers and educators who work with school age children in outside school hours care and vacation programs.

• anaphylaxis
• asthma
• non-life-threatening bleeding
• choking - child and infant
• envenomation, using pressure immobilisation.
• fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, using appropriate immobilisation techniques.
• minor wound cleaning and dressing
• nosebleed
• shock
• responded to at least one simulated first aid incident that involves providing treatment for a child or infant contextualised to the candidate’s workplace or site, where the candidate has no knowledge of the casualty’s condition prior to starting treatment, including:
• identifying the casualty’s illness or injury through history, signs, and symptoms
• using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as required
• providing appropriate first aid treatment

Along with much more.  Our trainers make sure that the practical sessions are fun and enjoyable.
