Completed in conjunction with a First Aid course, unit HLTAID012 is essential for individuals working in child care centres, schools, or any child-related setting who may be required to respond to a first aid emergency, including asthmatic and anaphylactic emergencies.

You will also complete incident documentation and debriefing to improve response, recognise psychological impacts, talk with children about their emotions, and seek help as required.
