This specialised unit focuses on providing an urgent first aid response tailored specifically for infants, children, and students. The course includes critical training on recognizing and managing asthma and anaphylactic emergencies, which are common in care environments.
Who Should Take It: Workers and educators in any education and care setting, including early childhood centres, schools, outside school hours care, and vacation programmes.
First aid knowledge is an invaluable skill for both you as an individual and for your community. Knowing how to provide quick medical treatment whilst waiting for a professional to arrive can save lives. In an emergency situation whether at home, or in the workplace, do not be a helpless witness. Be the difference between life and death and learn how to save lives.
This unit describes 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 unit 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.
