First Aid
Having a small baby is a great reponsibility and it can be useful to have some first aid knowledge in the event of an accident.
St John 's Ambulance offer First Aid courses which can be a great way to ensure that you can help your child quickly in what are often distressing circumstances.
The course you may take would depend on your previous experience and training, but appropriate courses are likely to be Emergency First Aid or Caring for Kids (which is completed in a single day).
Timetables and locations for courses in Sydney are listed on the St John's Ambulance site. Some courses are held at the Castle Hill RSL, otherwise the closest ones appear to be in Ryde or Penrith.
You may also use this link to email St John 's Ambulance to find out about courses (Email: courses@stjohnnsw.com.au), or call 1300 360 455.
