Kidcare First Aid replaced by Apply first aid for Childcare centres
Up until 2009, Kidcare First Aid was the standard course that had to be completed by all childcare workers. However this proved complicated for training organisations and workers alike as this course was different to the industry standard Apply First Aid course.
To simplify this situation the responsible government department – Department of Community Services – decided that from July 2009 the Apply First Aid course would also become the standard for childcare workers.
Today this means that all first aid courses for childcare workers needed to be either HLTFA301C Apply First Aid or HLTFA402C Apply Advanced First Aid.
What this means for childcare centres
If you are managing a childcare centre and would like to host your own course, we can come to your centre at a time that suits you and train your staff in the essential skills for infant and child first aid. We will ensure that you have a trainer that is experienced in these skills. On successful completion of the course, your staff will be awarded the Statement of Attainment for Apply First Aid.
To find out more please call us on 1300 130 385 to discuss your needs or fill out our online enquiry form and we will call you as soon as possible.
What this means for childcare workers
While this means the we can no longer offer separate “Kidcare” courses for childcare workers, many of our trainers are very experienced in infant and child first aid.
If you would like to attend a course taught by one of these trainers, please call us on 1300 130 385 and we’ll help you find the best course for you.
