Why learn first aid?

As parents, we want to protect our children.
Almost 80% of cardiac arrests occur at home. With the ambulance taking on average 9.4 minutes to arrive, you may be the only one that can help.
By learning basic first aid, you give your child or someone else’s the best chance of survival.
Through first aid, you can:
- Treat minor injuries such as scrapes and burns
- Assist with common medical conditions like asthma and allergic reactions
- Perform CPR and double the chances of survival
94% of Australians unsure of their ability to help in an emergency, don’t leave your child’s safety in the hands of fate.
