Basic First Aid Course for Infants in Sydney
Nothing is more alarming for a parent than when their child is ill or injured. While waiting for paramedics to arrive parents are panicked and unsure what to do for their child. Kids First Aid provides training for basic first aid for infants to prepare parents for medical emergencies. Possessing basic first aid knowledge leads to better outcomes. Being prepared for emergencies involving infants removes the panic and provides quality care in those crucial first moments before emergency responders arrive. Every parent and caregiver will benefit from our course ensuring the infants in their care will receive appropriate first aid.
Training for most Life-Threatening Emergencies
When an infant falls seriously ill or sustains an injury, they are unable to communicate their distress other than crying. The majority of life-threatening emergencies involving infants require CPR (not breathing, drowning, and choking), animal and insect bites and stings, anaphylaxis brought on by allergies, accidental poisoning and burns, broken bones and bleeding, seizures, and high fevers, and meningococcal. Possessing the skills to evaluate your infant and provide basic first aid before paramedics arrive offers enhanced odds for recovery.
We Provide Infant First Aid Courses for Parents and Caregivers in Sydney
Our first aid course is taught exclusively by experienced paramedics who are parents themselves to provide crucial lifesaving instruction. Their first responder experience is instrumental to course content. Our 3-hour course can be taught in the comfort of your home demonstrating current life-saving procedures. We also offer group classes to ensure everyone involved with infant care is prepared for emergencies. We come to your home, business or club instructing all attendees in the correct emergency procedures. Our convenient online course for those in remote areas of Australia offers the same lifesaving information that you can use as a future reference.
Experience you can Trust
Kids First Aid was started by Ben and Katie Fisher, paramedics with over 30 years of combined experience. Arriving on the scene of an emergency, they saw first hand how crucial basic first aid could have resulted in a positive outcome. In addition to being paramedics, they are parents to three children of their own. They understand the panic parents feel when faced with an emergency involving an infant. Offering to teach parents and caregivers basic first aid for infants was an obvious next step for this couple. Jen Douneen, Katie’s sister, helped get the business running to provide vital life-saving techniques to parents and caregivers throughout Australia.
Having the knowledge and skills to keep your child stable while waiting for emergency personnel will make an immense difference. New parents are especially vulnerable to panic when their infant stops breathing or falls seriously ill. Parents in Sydney will gain valuable life-saving information from our infant first aid course. Contact us for more information or to schedule training in your home or business. Our course provides training that will keep you calm and focused in an emergency offering potential positive outcomes for your child.

What attendees are saying about these invaluable first aid workshops
About an hour ago my 2 year old daughter swallowed a 5 cent
piece and wasn't able to breathe. The look on her face was terrifying. Thankfully, you helped me be prepared and know what to do. After the 5 back blows she spluttered, wretched and must've gotten the coin out of her airway as she started breathing again. It was honestly the most terrifying thing I've been through with my kids.
Thanks again for giving me the information to be able to handle the situation.

Last month my 11 month old daughter suffered a febrial
convulsion whilst in my arms and stopped breathing. He mouth and lips went blue & purple and she had a full convulsive fit. She had a fever that rose quickly and becuase of your course, i recognised the signs of what was happening, placed her in the recovery postion on the floor till the fit stopped and called the ambulance. Although a terrifiying experience as i was home on my home own, i kept calm and felt in control knowing i had the knowledge to help me daughter through.
I thought you should know what a difference it made to me in a emergency situation. My husband had not done the course and booked it and did it straight after, as he would not have known what to do. Thank you.
My husband and I attended your recent Woollahra course
after being very scared by a choking incident with our nine month old daughter the week before. What a great course! Alan was a wonderful presenter. He had so much great hands on experience. His stories kept things lively as well as illustrated the skills we need in a way that I'll remember. I also found it invaluable how he explained the cause of different injuries/conditions and the reason a particular treatment worked.
I've been surprised this past week how such a simple investment could make me feel more confident as a parent, but it really has.

In December I took my 12 year old daughter with me to one
of your first aid courses. This was in anticipation of her babysitting for others in the next few years.
Today it paid an unexpected dividend. As she and her 11 year old brother got off the bus and crossed the road, the young woman walking in front of them collapsed.
My 11 year old instinctively put out his hand to catch her head. My daughter moved the young woman to a safer place on the road by an island and placed her in the recovery position.
She then enlisted the help of an adult asking them to call the ambulance.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent
first aid course at Crows Nest on Saturday. We found the course was very practical and helpful and thought that Craig was a fantastic presenter. Knowing of his extensive experience and hearing his stories was great but we also found him to be very clear and good at reinforcing the main points.
Our poster is up to remind us of the things covered in the course. Hopefully we won't need to use what we've learnt but it's good to feel prepared..

I was amazed at how logical and simple so many first aid steps
for various situations are! Things have changed since learning all those complicated and confusing procedures in P.E. at high school! After realising how simple (and obviously life-changing) first aid really is I cannot help but wonder why it isn't compulsory for everyone to learn first aid! The fee is peanuts when compared to the value of what is learnt.

I would definitely recommend KFA to family and friends...
this information is best presented by KFA (Paramedic)...not passed on second hand. Really informative and kept encouraging us to be proactive rather than petrified.
