Our ACECQA approved Childcare First Aid course covers HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting, the first aid unit designed for early childhood educators, family day care and OSHC staff, nannies, teachers and teacher aides. On top of general first aid and CPR, it focuses on the emergencies most likely to happen around babies and children, including asthma attacks, anaphylaxis and choking.
One course meets all three ACECQA training requirements for educators: first aid, emergency asthma management and anaphylaxis management. You study the theory online at your own pace, then attend a 4-hour practical session in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.
Our standard First Aid course (HLTAID011) suits most other workplaces, and our CPR course is the quickest way to refresh your CPR each year.
You will be issued with one Statement of Attainment listing the following nationally recognised units of competency:
HLTAID012 replaces the older code HLTAID004 Provide an emergency first aid response in an education and care setting.
The Childcare First Aid course covers:
You can view the full unit requirements on training.gov.au.
Yes. HLTAID012 is on ACECQA's list of approved first aid qualifications, and it meets the first aid, emergency asthma management and anaphylaxis management training requirements for education and care services under the Education and Care Services National Regulations. ACECQA approves the qualification rather than individual training providers, so it's delivered by Registered Training Organisations like First Aid Today that have HLTAID012 on their scope of registration. You can check HLTAID012 against ACECQA's approved first aid qualifications.
Your certificate doesn't have an expiry date, but to stay current for education and care, ACECQA requires approved first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis training to be completed every 3 years, and CPR (HLTAID009) every 12 months. Between renewals you can keep your CPR current with our 1.5-hour CPR refresher.
