How long is the Childcare First Aid (HLTAID012) qualification valid for?

The HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. However, the CPR component must be renewed every 12 months as per industry requirements and Safe Work Australia guidelines. Both refresher courses can be completed through Accelerate First Aid, ensuring your childcare qualifications remain current.

How long does it take to complete the Childcare First Aid course?

Our Childcare First Aid course combines approximately 4-6 hours of online theory with a rapid 1.5 hour face-to-face practical session. The online component can be completed at your own pace before attending the practical assessment. This comprehensive format ensures you're fully prepared for childcare-specific emergencies while maintaining efficiency.

Can I get reimbursed for my Childcare First Aid course?

Many childcare centres and educational institutions reimburse this training as it's a mandatory requirement for employment. The course is often tax-deductible for childcare professionals. We recommend checking with your employer about their reimbursement policies and consulting your tax professional about deduction eligibility.

What makes Childcare First Aid different from standard First Aid?

HLTAID012 is specifically designed for early childhood education and care settings. It includes additional components like managing asthma and anaphylaxis in children, responding to infant emergencies, and addressing childhood-specific incidents. The course meets all regulatory requirements for childcare workers under the Education and Care Services National Regulations.

What are the prerequisites and physical requirements for Childcare First Aid training?

Participants must be at least 14 years old and have internet access for the online theory component. Physical requirements include performing CPR on both adult and infant manikins on the floor, demonstrating correct lifting techniques, and completing practical scenarios relevant to childcare settings. Basic English language, literacy, and numeracy skills are essential. Contact us before booking if you have specific concerns.

What specific topics are covered in the Childcare First Aid course?

The HLTAID012 course covers: infant and child CPR, managing breathing emergencies including asthma, handling severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), responding to childhood injuries and illnesses, wound care, seizure management, head injuries, choking response, and emergency procedures specific to childcare settings. You'll also learn about legal requirements and documentation in childcare environments.

Is this course sufficient for working in childcare?

Yes, HLTAID012 meets the first aid training requirements for childcare workers under the Education and Care Services National Regulations. This qualification is specifically designed for early childhood education and care settings and is accepted by all childcare centres across Australia.

What documentation will I receive upon completion?

Upon successful completion, you'll receive a nationally recognized Statement of Attainment for HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting. This includes certification for CPR, asthma, and anaphylaxis management, meeting all regulatory requirements for childcare employment.

Do you provide training materials specific to childcare scenarios?

Yes, our course includes specialized training materials and equipment including infant manikins, EpiPen trainers, and asthma devices. All scenarios and practical exercises are tailored to real-world situations commonly encountered in childcare settings, making the training directly relevant to your work environment.

What if I already have a standard First Aid certificate?

Even if you hold a current HLTAID011 First Aid certificate, you'll need the HLTAID012 qualification to work in childcare settings. This course includes additional components specific to childcare environments that aren't covered in standard first aid training.
