Free first aid training
FREE accredited first aid and CPR training is being offered to volunteers of not-for-profit sport and recreation organisations by Tablelands Regional Council.
“Volunteers play a vital role in our sport and recreation sector, and having first aid skills helps build confidence in managing incidents when they arise,” Mayor Rod Marti said.
“This initiative supports safer participation in community sport and recreation while strengthening volunteer capability.
“This training provides practical, hands-on skills that support safer environments for participants, volunteers and clubs.
“It’s about strengthening the capability of our volunteers and supporting the continued success of local sport and recreation across the Tablelands.”
Training will be delivered face-to-face by qualified and accredited trainers, with participants receiving nationally recognised certification, including First Aid and CPR.
The following sessions will be held at the Disaster Coordination Centre, Vernon Street, Atherton: CPR Refresher courses on 17 April and 17 May from 9am-12pm; and Full First Aid on 18 April and 16 May from 9am-4pm.
Morning tea and lunch will be provided for full-day sessions, with light refreshments available for CPR refresher courses.
The program is limited to volunteers from not-for-profit organisations operating within the Tablelands Regional Council local government area, and places are limited.
