Free first aid training in schools

Our First Aid in Schools program provides children with the skills to administer vital first aid in the face of an emergency. Our trusted trainers empowered 21,000 children in 2022 to recognise and act in an emergency. St John Ambulance Queensland also delivers our First Aid in Schools program at no cost to schools or families.

First Aid in Schools is delivered in 45 minute sessions, tailored to a range of primary school age groups. We have qualified trainers located in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Redlands, Logan, Gold Cost and Ipswich available to provide face-to-face learning for school students. We also offer online or remote style programs to the rest of Queensland.

Our First Aid in Schools program is hands on course where we provide first aid demonstrations and encourage student participation to help them learn. Our team will arrive at your nominated school address on the day.
