2024 School & Teacher First Aid Education & Compliance Guide

First Aid Training Overview First aid training is mandatory for teachers and school support staff as per the Department for Education’s guidelines, playing a crucial role in ensuring student safety and wellbeing. The Department for Education recognises HLTAID010 Provide basic emergency life support as the minimum accepted first aid training for teacher employment. For those in early childhood settings, HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting is the recommended choice. Individuals with HLTAID011 Provide First Aid can fulfill this requirement by completing the Asthma and Anaphylaxis course. Regular updates to first aid training are crucial for maintaining current skills and knowledge. Training requirements may vary depending on specific roles and the unique needs of individual schools. In Australia, children’s health is a critical aspect of their overall wellbeing. More and more students are experiencing mental health concerns that affect their learning, such as bullying, which can inflict significant distress on students. 1 In a world where 1 in 4 students aged 8-15 face bullying, the need for effective interventions is more critical than ever. 2 As educators, being trained in Mental Health First Aid can make a crucial difference in offering support to students, equipping individuals with the skills to recognise and understand signs of mental health issues.
