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.

"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."
