Are you working in a childcare centre, preschool, or school in the Albury / Wodonga region? Perhaps you are a parent or a family day care provider who wants the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what to do in an emergency. If your certification is expiring or you are starting a new role, now is the time to act. We have spots available for our HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid course this week, specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the education and care industry.
At Yatson Training, we don't believe in "tick-a-box" exercises. We provide hands-on, engaging, and professional Corporate First Aid training that saves lives.
What is HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid all about?
The Childcare First Aid course HLTAID012 (Provide First Aid in an education and care setting) is a nationally recognised qualification. It is the gold standard for anyone responsible for the safety of children. Unlike a general first aid course, this unit focuses specifically on the physiological and psychological needs of infants and children.
This course is a comprehensive package. It includes the skills found in HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid) and HLTAID009 (Provide CPR) but adds critical training for managing paediatric emergencies. It is approved by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) to satisfy the three mandatory training requirements: first aid, anaphylaxis management, and emergency asthma management.
The training process
We value your time, so we use a blended learning model. This means you complete the theoretical component online at your own pace before attending a practical, hands-on session with us in Albury or Wodonga.
- Enrol online: Visit our courses page to select your date.
- Complete theory: Read the materials and finish the online assessments before your class.
- Attend the practical session: Join us for a focused, interactive session where you practice your skills.
- Get certified: Receive your Statement of Attainment quickly upon successful completion.
Comprehensive emergency management
In a childcare setting, you need to be prepared for more than just scraped knees. Our Workplace First Aid certification ensures you can handle high-pressure situations with confidence.
CPR for infants and children
Performing CPR on a baby (an infant under one year) is different from performing it on an adult. You must use different techniques for chest compressions and rescue breaths to avoid causing injury. We teach you the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines to ensure your technique is current and effective.
Anaphylaxis and Asthma
Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and asthma attacks are common in Australian schools and childcare centres. You will learn how to:
- Identify the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
- Administer an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen).
- Follow an Asthma Action Plan.
- Use a puffer and spacer correctly during an emergency.
Practical skills for real scenarios
Our training includes managing choking, bleeding, fractures, and head injuries. We use scenario-based assessments (simulated emergency situations) to ensure you can apply what you have learned under pressure.
Why choose Yatson Training?
When you book your HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid with us, you are learning from the best in the business. Our lead trainer, Jackie Hislop, is a Registered Nurse (RN) with years of clinical experience. This medical background brings a level of depth and realism to the training that you won’t find elsewhere.
We focus on making the training interactive and enjoyable. We know that if you are engaged, you are more likely to remember the skills when they matter most. Whether you are booking for yourself or looking for Corporate First Aid training for your entire staff, we provide a supportive environment that exceeds standard compliance requirements.
Our recommendation
Keep in mind that while your HLTAID012 certification is generally valid for three years, the CPR component (HLTAID009) should be refreshed every 12 months. This is the recommendation of the ARC and most workplace health and safety regulators.
We also recommend checking your workplace's specific compliance needs. Ensuring you have the right number of trained staff on-site at all times is vital. You can read more about calculating your first aid ratios here.
