Childcare First Aid Training

All childcare workers must hold current, approved first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis training in accordance with the Education and Care Services National Regulations. The most commonly required qualification is HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting, which includes paediatric CPR and emergency response for asthma and anaphylaxis. Services must ensure trained staff are immediately available at all times children are in care.

While HLTAID012 units do not technically expire, industry and regulatory guidance states that CPR must be refreshed every 12 months, and full first aid and anaphylaxis/asthma training must be renewed every 3 years. Many providers follow ACECQA and Best Practice guidelines to ensure ongoing competency.
