Early Childhood Program

Free first aid education for young children.

St John WA provides free first aid training at schools and early childhood centres in Western Australia.

Our early childhood sessions are aimed at 4 to 6 year olds and are designed to introduce basic first aid concepts to young children in a fun way.

The 30 minute program is delivered at your school or community group and teaches children basic first aid concepts through storytelling and a special appearance from Kura the paramedic Bear. Our experienced Early Education Officers all have Working with Children Checks.
