About Us
We are a team of children's health experts.
Our purpose as a Certified Social Enterprise 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, geographical and cultural backgrounds with the essential skills that we teach.
The reason we do this is simple.
As a team of passionate and motivated paediatric nurses and midwives, we know that what you do in the minutes before an ambulance arrives can have a direct effect on the health outcomes of your child.
For this reason, we believe that every parent and carer needs to know the life-saving skills of first aid for babies and children.
CPR Kids is proud to be an inclusive and respectful workplace.

Our Story
Why we do what we do
Sarah Hunstead started CPR Kids because as a paediatric nurse, she knows that what a parent or carer does to help their sick or injured child in the minutes before an ambulance arrives, can directly impact the health outcome of their child. Sarah realised that a little knowledge, and confidence to act, could make all the difference. So Sarah set out to empower every adult to be able to respond in an emergency, and know they have done everything they could in the moment.
Our Advisory Board consists of experts in their chosen fields.
A big shoutout to the incredible UTS Team!
We were lucky to have a brilliant group of University of Technology Sydney students from the Software Development Studio rebuild our website as part of the UTS Shopfront Program. This fantastic initiative connects students with social enterprises and not-for-profits to create real-world impact through their studies.
Their creativity, dedication, and professionalism brought our vision to life, and we’re so grateful for the care and thought they poured into every detail.
Thank you, Broc, Joseph, Mohamad, Rami, Raymond and Zain for helping us make our online home better than ever!
