Canberra Women & Babies in collaboration with Joanna Lewis, the founder of Super Safety Mum, warmly invite you to our -
Baby & Child First Aid Course.
This hands-on, small-group, face-to-face, accredited CPR course is designed to provide expectant parents, new parents, grandparents and other caregivers with the knowledge, essential life-saving skills, and confidence to deliver emergency first aid for babies and children.
Using practical, performance-based scenarios, participants will learn how to:
Respond to an emergency situation
Manage breathing and cardiac emergencies in a first aid setting
Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on an infant or child
Accurately convey incident details to emergency services
Understand how and when to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
In addition*, participants will also learn how to:
manage a choking emergency in an infant or child
recognise and manage common viral illnesses in infants and young children.
This course is facilitated by Joanna Lewis. Jo is a passionate and dedicated Registered Nurse with over 20 years of experience in clinical and managerial roles across several nursing specialties, including Emergency, Medical and Surgical care, Women's and Children's Health, and Hospital Operations. She holds postgraduate qualifications in Critical Care, Professional Healthcare Education, and Medical Retrieval. Jo thrives on helping others grow and is particularly passionate about supporting new and expectant parents.
This is a baby-friendly course. Infants under the age of 12 months are welcome.
We hope you can make it!
Important note: This is an accredited course for CPR (HLTAID009 CPR only). For an accredited certificate to be issued, the online prior learning must be completed, and CPR must be performed on the floor with no exemptions.
Participants who complete the face-to-face training but do not complete the online prior learning will be issued with a non-accredited information session certificate.
*The additional teaching related to choking and viral illnesses are non-accredited components of this session.
Clothing: We suggest that you wear comfortable casual clothing, as the practical nature of the demonstrations and practice may possibly require bending, kneeling and lying on the floor. Pants and flat shoes are recommended.
