About HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid Course

Students completing this course will gain 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.

  • Distract from discomfort and pain with age-appropriate techniques to keep kids focused

Before/After school care or kids sports programs can lead to injuries
Neck injuries can also occur in children and must be managed quickly
Infants may experience discomfort from vomiting or diarrhoea
Young children may fall and injure themselves while playing
Treatment may be as simple as a bandaid, or even an ambulance!

Can I complete the certification entirely online?

The certification requires in-person physical assessment of your skills and cannot be completed entirely online – but it does save a lot of time to do the study first!

This course has no pre-requisite knowledge requirements.

All e-learning and theory assessment must be completed before attending the course in person.

Participants must be physically able to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on the floor (to simulate a real casualty), and to lift and manipulate the training dummy.

All training and assessment will be done in English, requiring basic levels of reading, writing, and language ability. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
