First Aid Management of Anaphylaxis Course & Management of Asthma Risks & Emergencies in the Workplace Course

The 22556VIC & 22300VIC combined Asthma and Anaphylaxis certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. However, many workplaces and education providers recommend annual refresher training to maintain confidence and competency in emergency response procedures. Refresher training can be completed through Accelerate First Aid.

Our combined Asthma and Anaphylaxis course takes approximately 4 hours online and 1.5 hrs face to face to complete. This includes both theory and practical components, ensuring you receive comprehensive training in managing both asthma emergencies and severe allergic reactions. The course is designed to be time-efficient while covering all essential skills and knowledge.

This training is mandatory for education and care service workers, including teachers, childcare workers, and after-school care staff. It's also highly recommended for sports coaches, youth workers, disability support workers, and anyone working in environments where they may need to respond to asthma or severe allergic reactions.

You'll learn to: identify asthma and anaphylaxis symptoms, use asthma relievers and spacers, administer adrenaline auto-injectors (EpiPens), follow emergency action plans, communicate with emergency services, and maintain relevant documentation. The course covers both prevention strategies and emergency response procedures.

No formal prerequisites are required. However, participants should have basic English language skills to understand emergency procedures. The course involves practical demonstrations, so you should be able to handle medical devices like auto-injectors and asthma spacers. Contact us if you have any concerns about meeting these requirements.
