HLTAID012- Provide First Aid in an education and care setting
The HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting course is a nationally recognised qualification designed for educators, childcare professionals, and school support staff who are responsible for the safety and wellbeing of children. This course equips participants with the essential skills and confidence to respond effectively to a wide range of first aid emergencies that may occur in childcare centres, schools, and other education environments.
Throughout the training, participants will gain practical experience in assessing and managing medical emergencies involving infants, children, and adults. Topics include responding to breathing and cardiac emergencies, treating asthma and anaphylaxis, managing choking incidents, controlling bleeding, and caring for fractures, burns, and wounds. The course also covers the correct use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and reinforces the DRSABCD action plan to ensure a structured and safe approach in all emergency situations.
This comprehensive course meets the first aid requirements for educators and support staff under the Education and Care Services National Regulations and aligns with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. Participants will learn how to deliver prompt, effective care while maintaining a calm, professional response suited to the needs of young children.
