Baby, child first aid sessions coming to Heathcote

THE Sisterhood Project will conduct three Baby and Child First Aid sessions in Heathcote throughout 2026.

The sessions are designed specifically for parents, grandparents, carers and community members who want practical, hands-on skills to respond confidently in an emergency.

Participants will gain knowledge and skills in how to manage common childhood accidents, injuries and illnesses common in children from birth to teens

The sessions will cover CPR, choking, common childhood illnesses, and when to seek medical care.

Babies are very welcome to attend, and sessions are interactive, practical and supportive.

“Every parent deserves to feel confident in an emergency, no matter where they live,” said Grace Larson, managing director of The Sisterhood Project.

“These sessions are about building informed, empowered and capable communities.

“In rural towns, specialist paediatric emergency services can be further away.

“Knowing what to do in those first critical minutes can truly save a child’s life.

“These classes are supported by funding from the Community Bank Heathcote and Nagambie allowing us to remove cost barriers and ensure access for families across the region.”

The first session will be held at Heathcote Community House on Tuesday 31 March at 11am.

The second and third sessions will be held at Heathcote Bowls Club on Tuesday 26 May and Tuesday 29 September both starting at 12pm
