This presentation is designed to provide valuable insights into the specific health needs of young children and the common illnesses they may experience during their early years. Aimed at parents, caregivers, and those involved in childcare, the session covers important topics such as recognising symptoms of common childhood illnesses, understanding when to seek medical attention, and offering guidance on basic first aid and preventive care. Additionally, the presentation highlights alternative care services available to support families, from paediatric care providers to community health resources and emergency services. Whether you're a new parent or have experience caring for young children, this session offers practical advice and knowledge to ensure your child’s health and well-being are prioritised.

Also Included:

The Call Push Shock program is designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to respond confidently in a cardiac emergency. This program addresses common barriers to assisting someone in need, providing clear instructions on how to take immediate action: Call Triple Zero (000), Push hard and fast on the patient’s chest, and Shock their heart using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

The program uses an interactive heart prop and information mat to engage communities, emphasising the critical importance of CPR and early defibrillation. Participants will gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how to potentially save a life in an emergency.
