To find out more about this course in your local area, contact St John Ambulance Australia or New Zealand for other course details.

The Huggies Baby Club Team, made up of lots of mums and aunties recently completed the Caring for Kids course in Sydney and we found it invaluable. We now feel we could respond to a crisis with more confidence and have the knowledge that could make the difference in a life threatening situation for our children, nieces or nephews.

We were part of a group that included new mums and dads, expectant parents and childcare workers. Our instructor Marlene made the day interesting and fun while making sure that we were aware of the serious nature of the day.
