COVID-19 UPDATE

Our First Aid Courses are Continuing

Effective Monday 26 October 2020 Despite Stage 4 Restrictions in Victoria, our First Aid courses are still running in Melbourne! Victorians are allowed outside their homes for the following reasons:

• Necessary goods and services
• Medical care and compassionate reasons
• Exercise
• Work
• Education if necessary

First Aid is Essential

Our First Aid courses are necessary education, as they are a requirement for people employed in these frontline industries:

• Construction
• Clinical Health and Biomedical Science
• Aged and Disability Care

During this COVID-19 pandemic, it's vital  our students have clarity regarding our First Aid Training Courses. We continue to operate in line with government guidelines. Read the guidelines set down by our regulator regarding face-to-face training. We continue to make every attempt to safeguard the health and safety of our staff and students, since Monday 16 March 2020, implementing the following hygiene measures:

• Students are required to bring their own personal hand sanitiser for use during class to
  1. Reduce common touchpoint surfaces
  2. Mitigate against cross-infection
  3. Be equipped despite unreliable supply chains for bulk PPE at this time

• Observe thorough hand washing prior to course commencement and at break time/s
• Reasonable adjustments made to practical assessment, avoiding student contact during practical demonstrations as per Covid-19 advice from the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC)
• All surfaces thoroughly cleaned before and after every course
• Antibacterial wipes issued for use during the course
• Reduced class sizes

We have always set the benchmark in practising industry-leading hygiene measures. At this time, we do so with added vigilance.
