St John Ambulance Offers First Aid for Kids

Young children are being urged to learn first aid skills with visits to local beaches coming soon.

The St John Ambulance Busselton sub-centre is encouraging children from kindergarten age to learn first aid skills ahead of summer.

Free First Aid Focus courses are being offered to children through courses in schools or community groups, and will teach kids skills ranging from learning how to call for an ambulance to performing CPR.

With summer just around the corner, people will be out more, in the water and doing things they wouldn't normally do, so the risks of injury are greater - making it even more important to know basic first aid.

For more information call the St John Ambulance Busselton sub-centre on 9752 3866.
