If your child is injured or in an accident, knowing first aid could save their life. Everyone who cares for children should learn how — but not everyone can afford to.
First aid training can cost $90 to $140. It seems like nothing when you measure it against a person's life — but for families struggling to make ends meet, it could mean going without food or rent for the week.
The Sisterhood Project provides free lifesaving education for low-income parents. Infant and child first aid is an essential skill that can mean the difference between life and death when a child is injured, giving parents the skills to stabilise their child until emergency services arrive.
We want to empower all parents to care for their child following an injury. Help us reduce the rates of childhood death from injury in Victoria by donating or spreading the word.
The Sisterhood Project is independent of PAEDS Education. PAEDS works with the Sisterhood team to deliver free first aid training for parents and carers, because we believe it's an essential skill everyone should have access to.
