Course Description
The Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting unit is a specialised course designed to equip educators, childcare workers, and support staff with the essential skills and knowledge required to respond to first aid emergencies in environments where children and infants are present. This nationally recognised training focuses on managing common injuries, illnesses, and accidents that can occur in education and care settings, ensuring participants are prepared to provide timely and effective care tailored to the needs of young children.
Participants will learn to assess and manage a variety of situations, including choking, asthma, allergic reactions, and anaphylaxis, as well as performing life-saving procedures like cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on both infants and children. The course also covers the appropriate use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), wound care, and treating fractures, burns, and other injuries that commonly occur in childcare and school environments. The training emphasises the importance of the DRSABCD action plan to ensure a structured and safe response in emergency situations.
This unit is ideal for childcare educators, early childhood professionals, teachers, and anyone working in school or care environments who needs to be equipped with specialised first aid skills. Upon completion, participants will be able to apply first aid in accordance with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and the requirements specific to education and care settings, ensuring they can provide a high standard of care for children.
The Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting course is a crucial requirement for those in the education sector, aligning with workplace health and safety standards. It provides participants with the confidence to respond effectively to emergencies, helping create a safer environment for children and contributing to their overall well-being.
