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
Reduce common touchpoint surfaces
Mitigate against cross-infection
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.
Shingles is a viral infection that can occur in anyone who has had chickenpox. It's most distinct symptom is a painful, blistering rash that occurs on one side of the body. Without prompt treatment, shingles can have life-threatening complications.
The Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) forms part of the same family as the rabies virus. ABLV infects all four species of fruit bats and flying foxes in Australia. In humans, ABLV can cause respiratory difficulties, coma and, in most cases, death.
Flu viruses can change their surface structure from one year to the next. As such, new flu vaccines are developed each year. Flu vaccines comprise numerous ingredients that aid their development, purity, and efficacy.
