First Aid Guidelines

Australian Resuscitation Council

The Australian Resuscitation Council is a voluntary co-ordinating body which represents all major groups involved in the teaching and practice of resuscitation. The Australian Resuscitation Council is sponsored by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists. The Australian Resuscitation Council produces Guidelines to meet its objectives in fostering uniformity and simplicity in resuscitation techniques and terminology. Guidelines are produced after consideration of all available scientific and published material and are only issued after acceptance by all member organisations. This does not imply, however, that methods other than those recommended are ineffective. It is the policy of the Australian Resuscitation Council to respect the autonomy of member organisations.

ASCIA anaphylaxis e-training for first aid (community)

ASCIA anaphylaxis e-training for first aid (community) has been developed for people in the community, who need to know how to treat anaphylaxis in an emergency, but are not health professionals.

This includes people with allergies, their parents, carers, friends and colleagues. It is also suitable for people in workplaces, clubs and other institutions throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The course provides accessible, consistent and evidence based anaphylaxis education and is available free of charge at: anaphylaxis.ascia.org.au

The course has been updated in 2021 to include two brands of adrenaline (epinephrine) injectors. New infographics and animated videos have also been included, to make the course more interactive and easier to complete.

Development and updating has involved an extensive review process with ASCIA members and other stakeholders throughout Australasia.

The course modules can be accessed in any order, however it is recommended that the modules are completed in the order presented. Successful completion of the final module allows you to print a certificate containing your name, the date and your pass mark.
