Providing effective, lifesaving first aid interventions requires instruction and practical training
As with any training, it is more useful if training occurs before being confronted with a
real-life situation, particularly in an education and care setting
This course has been developed for educators and support staff working within an education
and care setting who are required to respond to a first aid emergency, including asthmatic and
anaphylactic emergencies
It is delivered in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines
During training you will gain the confidence and ability to recognise an emergency situation,
identify hazards and make them safer, and provide a first aid response to infants, children and adults
You will also learn the importance of recognising the possible psychological impacts on self, other
rescuers and children, talking with children about their emotions and responses to events and
participating in debriefing with your supervisor
