First Aid Awareness

Every child in Australia should have access to vital first aid knowledge.

St John Ambulance (NSW) is committed to promoting the importance of first aid in our community and believes there is no better place to start than in our schools. Every child in Australia should have access to vital first aid knowledge and with the First Aid in Schools program this is possible.

The First Aid in Schools Program is a free program we offer that teaches primary school children lifesaving skills to give them the confidence to act in an emergency. The program is delivered via a 60 minute face-to-face session run by St John Ambulance Educators.

"Absolutely wonderfull! The program was well presented with practical activities for students to reinforce their learning of First Aid. I would certainly recommed this program to any school"
