Specialised First Aid Training for Education and Care Settings
This first aid course is tailored for workers in education and care settings, providing the essential skills to manage first aid emergencies with confidence and competence. Delivered in alignment with legal and workplace requirements, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, and other national clinical standards, the training ensures you’re equipped to handle emergencies with the highest level of care. Training is available in Wallan and across regional northern Victoria for your convenience.
You’ll learn to identify illnesses and injuries through practical, hands-on sessions, activate emergency services, and safely provide first aid treatment. The course covers vital techniques, including CPR, defibrillation, the use of autoinjectors for anaphylaxis, and asthma medication administration. You’ll also gain skills in immobilizing injuries such as envenomation, fractures, sprains, and strains, as well as managing bleeding, shock, and other conditions using action plans, equipment, and resources effectively.
Understanding the unique needs of children and infants is a core component of this training. You’ll explore basic anatomy and physiology, learn to manage acute illnesses in children and respond to emergencies requiring immediate ambulance assistance. Additionally, you’ll develop the communication skills needed to convey incident details clearly to parents, caregivers, and emergency services, ensuring everyone involved is well-informed.
Beyond the physical aspects of first aid, this course also emphasizes the psychological elements of care. You’ll learn how to complete incident documentation, participate in debriefing to improve your response and recognise the emotional impacts on children and caregivers. Training includes guidance on talking with children about their feelings and seeking support when needed, empowering you to provide compassionate and effective care in challenging situations.
