Receive Training for Emergency First Aid for Kids and How to Perform CPR on a Child in Australia
Accidents and emergencies happen in an instant. One moment a child is playing happily and the next they are injured or choking. Learning CPR and kids first aid can play a huge role in preventing severe injury of your little one.
The professionals at Kids First Aid understand how imperative it is for caregivers to learn these skills. Our courses teach you how to both react and act in an instant where a child needs help.
What You Should Know About Our Emergency First Aid Course
Performing CPR on a child in Australia plays a big part in our emergency first aid class. One of the details that we teach are the signs to recognise when a child is choking as it is not always clear precisely what is wrong when the emergency begins. When a child is choking, the first thing you need to understand is that you must remain calm. It is possible that there is only a partial blockage in which case full on CPR is not required.
When considering a CPR and kids first aid course, it is important to remember that our classes present techniques to provide aid to children that range in age from newborn to 16 years old. Much of the information that you learn, however, can transition over to assist in adult emergency first aid. We are open to parents that need to bring their children with them but keep in mind that this is not a 20-minute course, so if your child is not able to sit in one place for a few hours, it is not advisable to include them.
A key reason why our CPR training for kids classes are so well-liked is that they are taught by paramedics and other trained professionals in the medical field. They understand the importance of CPR and first aid skills and provide you with their first-hand experience on performing these techniques.
We understand that parents and caregivers have time constraints during their day which is why we have put together options for different courses that cover ten of the most common household emergencies. The class is only about three hours long. It is for informational and training purposes; therefore, we won’t formally test you afterwards. Signing up is easy; just click through to our available dates to find a course that is offered in your area or call us, so we can walk you through scheduling.

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.
