What is HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid all about?
HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting is a nationally recognised unit specifically designed for educators, support staff, and carers working with infants, children, and adults. Aligned with guidelines from the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and national regulations, this course equips you with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to respond effectively to medical emergencies in schools, preschools, and early learning centres.
Within the framework of childhood education, this training covers critical competencies that go beyond standard first aid. It bridges the gap between general workplace safety and the specific physiological needs of growing children.
- Recognising and responding to emergencies: Assessing danger using the DRSABCD action plan and communicating with emergency services.
- Performing CPR: Practising resuscitation techniques tailored for infants, children, and adults using manikins and automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
- Managing asthma and anaphylaxis: Identifying allergic reactions and respiratory distress, and correctly administering adrenaline auto-injectors and prescribed inhalers.
- Treating childhood injuries: Handling common incidents such as choking, burns, fractures, febrile convulsions, and head bumps.
Who needs this certification in Albury / Wodonga?
Meeting regulatory standards set by ACECQA is a strict legal requirement for anyone operating within the early childhood sector. Our First Aid Training Albury Wodonga sessions are tailored for a wide range of professionals across the border region, including:
- Childcare centre educators and room leaders
- Family day care providers operating residential or venue-based care
- Kindergarten and preschool staff
- Outside school hours care (OSHC) and vacation care coordinators
- Primary school teachers and education support staff
Ensuring your team holds a current Childcare First Aid course HLTAID012 certificate guarantees compliance while fostering absolute peace of mind for parents who entrust you with their children every day.
What you will learn in our hands-on training course
At Yatson Training, we believe that effective first aid cannot be learned solely through textbooks or online modules. While our blended delivery includes convenient pre-course theory, our face-to-face sessions focus entirely on practical, scenario-based learning.
During your session in the Albury Wodonga area during the week of 14 August, you will cover:
- Infant and Child Resuscitation: Mastering correct hand placement and compression depths for smaller bodies compared to adults.
- Anaphylaxis Action Plans: Reading and executing emergency response plans for severe allergies, including hands-on trainer pen usage.
- Asthma First Aid Protocols: Recognising wheezing, managing spacer devices, and providing reassuring support during an asthma attack.
- Trauma and Injury Management: Properly dressing wounds, applying slings for suspected fractures, and managing shock.
Our instructors guide you through each procedure with patience and clarity, ensuring you feel confident and ready to act when every second counts.

Our recommendation for your team
To maintain compliance and keep your skills sharp, we recommend the following best practices for early learning providers:
- Book in advance: Classes for the week of 14 August fill up quickly. Secure your spot early to avoid missing out on essential certification windows.
- Refresh your CPR annually: While the full HLTAID012 qualification remains valid for three years, the Australian Resuscitation Council recommends updating your CPR competency every 12 months.
- Involve your entire team: Coordinated responses are vital in childcare settings. Consider booking a dedicated group session where your entire staff trains together.
