Baby, toddler & child first aid education

We make it easy for regional and rural parents to learn first aid so they can confidently handle the unexpected.

For regional parents

Our education is designed for the regions. Why? Because rural parents face specific challenges: proximity to help, stretched medical resources & unique environmental risks.

Paramedic led

Our courses are designed, developed and delivered by experts who have direct and invaluable experience with handling a range of paediatric emergencies.

Focused education

First aid priorities change as your child develops. To reduce overwhelm, we teach only what you need for your child’s current life stage, and you can upgrade your skills as they grow.

Evidence-based

We gather the best, most up-to-date research and advice from the world’s most trusted sources, and deliver it to you in a course that's easy to understand.

From knowing how to spot symptoms of serious illness to managing emergencies, learning first aid skills will empower you to confidently handle all stages of your child’s life.

What you’ll learn

First-aid basics for babies, toddlers and children

Your child’s developmental stage influences the types of injuries that may occur. Our courses address the specific risks of your child’s phase of life, and teaches parents and carers what to do in a paediatric emergency.

Vital skills for coping with an emergency

Ask an expectant parent their biggest first aid anxiety and the response is: CPR and dealing with choking. We teach you how to confidently manage these, and other critical situations.

Trauma care and managing injuries

Kids are naturally curious and often suffer injuries in the home due to their inquisitive nature. The leading causes of injury in young children include falls, burns, traffic accidents and animal bites. We teach you how to confidently manage these and other critical situations.

Calling for help and what to expect

Calling for help during an emergency can be extremely stressful. We know what it’s like from the other end of the phone and on the other side of the Emergency Department door. We share our insider knowledge so you know what to expect when you call 000 or when you get to ED at the hospital.

Confidence with performing CPR & back blows

To help you learn, we use industry-leading QCPR manikins with realistic features and the average physiology and anatomy of a child. The manikins are connected to an iPad via bluetooth to offer real-time feedback on your CPR performance. Practicing in this way gives you muscle memory for effective CPR, building your confidence.

Train on anatomically correct manikins
Practice skills with realtime feedback
Consolidate learning with practical scenarios

Bites, stings and poisonings

Australia has lots of creepy crawlies - some cause painful bites but most aren’t poisonous. Learn which bites are bad and what to do if your child has been bitten.

Most infant poisonings are from prescription medications - learn the signs to help recognise when your little one’s curiosity has gotten the better of them.
