Know what to do when your child is sick or injured

We are paediatric Registered Nurses who have cared for thousands of sick or injured babies & children.

Learn baby + child CPR & first aid with the experts.

Babies and breastfeeding welcome.

Attend our classes in person at a location near you, or online.

Your child’s safety
is no accident.

As paediatric nurses (and parents ourselves), we know that children can get themselves into all sorts of trouble, in the blink of an eye. And they do. You barely have time to think, but your child will be relying on you.

Our purpose at CPR Kids is to empower families, educators and carers of children with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognise and respond to illness and injury in children, with confidence. More than a first aid class, it’s about empowering people of all social, economic and cultural backgrounds with the skills to recognise and respond to a sick or injured child, with confidence.

CPR KIDS IS PROUDLY A CERTIFIED SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

"We used CPR Kids for a private in home first aid course for our entire family when bubba was born. It was such a great way to ensure everyone who shares care of the children in our family are confident in an emergency. We highly recommend the CPR Kids course, especially the private in home option for the whole family."

"As my husband and I were leaving the venue - he turned to me and said 'that was the most worthwhile time & amount we've spent' in preparation for our first child. I couldn't agree more. Our instructor was super engaging, knowledgeable, passionate (I could go on), and delivered the information in a way that we have both remembered. I've been recommending this CPR course to everyone I've spoken to since. It's not even a recommendation - it's a must for any parent, at any stage of parenthood. DO IT!"

"I attended the public/community class with my son and daughter in law and their 1st baby. As a retired RN I found it very useful as a refresher, esp. as I hadn't any recent paediatric experience. This is an absolute must class for new parents and for grandparents for the safety of babies and children. Great hands on practical skills and great access to resources. Everyone should know the basics of CPR and First Aid - CPR Kids does this really well."
