Support and disability workers play a crucial role in caring for individuals with diverse needs, including those with medical conditions, mobility challenges, or communication difficulties. In an emergency—whether it’s a fall, seizure, choking incident, allergic reaction, or medical episode—knowing how to respond calmly and effectively can prevent further harm and even save a life. 

Many individuals in care rely on their support workers to act as their first line of defence in a health crisis. Having first aid and CPR training ensures workers are equipped to provide immediate and appropriate care, improving safety and quality of life for those they support. First aid training is not just a workplace requirement—it’s a vital skill that can make a real difference in someone’s life and make you feel confident to help out when needed.
