Why Education & Care First Aid is Critical

Key statistics: 

• Around 10% of Australian children have asthma, making it one of the most common chronic childhood conditions.
• 1 in 10 children have a food allergy, and hospital admissions for anaphylaxis in children increased 5-fold between 1997 and 2017 (ASCIA).
• Sudden cardiac arrest affects 25,000+ Australians annually, and immediate CPR can double or triple survival rates.
• Regulations require all childcare and education staff to hold current certification in CPR, Asthma, and Anaphylaxis.

This course ensures compliance and readiness for real-world emergencies.
