COVID-19 Precautions

All first aid courses are still proceeding as planned.  

We have exceptional infection control measures in place and have been advised by a senior member of NSW Public Health and a medical specialist on these policies that we have in place.

  • Classes have been limited in size.
  • The 4sqm and 1.5m social distancing guidelines apply in all our classes.
  • We encourage hand sanitisation as people enter and before they leave (and whenever they like during the course).
  • Our trainers have been instructed to space chairs out, have breaks every 2 hours, sanitise all surfaces, door handles etc with Viraclean (or equivalent) at each break and air the room during break.
  • There are gloves that you can use for your assessments.
  • Some of the assessments have been modified as you will see on the day.  For example you do not have to breathe into the manikin during this time.
  • Our staff have had professional development on maintaining their own personal hygiene and on Coronavirus in general

Stage 4 Restrictions - Victoria Only

Victorians can still attend our first aid and white card classes in Melbourne CBD and Dandenong.  The Victorian Government confirmed this with us on 5 August 2020.

 

Victorians must stay at home except for four reasons: necessary goods or services; medical care of compassionate reasons; exercise, work and education if necessary.

 

Please note that our courses are approved to operate as we are providing qualifications or credentials to people employed in key industries such as:

•             Construction

•             Clinical health and biomedical science

•             Aged and disability care

Staff and students who are permitted to leave home for work or study can travel more than 5 kilometres from their home for this purpose.
