This course provides practical training for workers within an education and care setting to respond to first aid emergencies in line with legal and workplace requirements, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies. 

It teaches how to identify illness or injury, access emergency services and use resources to provide first aid including administration of CPR and AEDs. We also cover use of adrenaline auto-injectors in the event of anaphylaxis, asthma medications, and intervention techniques in the event of choking, envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, bleeding and shock.

You will learn basic anatomy, physiology and the differences between adults, children and infants relating to CPR, managing an infant or child with an acute illness, or who requires an immediate ambulance response and conveying incident details to parents, caregivers and emergency services.

The course covers completing incident documentation and debriefing for improvement of response, recognising psychological impacts, talking with children about their emotions and seeking help as required.
