THE Red Cross is urging
Australians to update their first aid
skills to ensure they know what to
do in a first aid emergency.
The call comes in the lead-up to
World First Aid Day (08 September),
with the Red Cross College
saying that many people do not
realise how important it is to
refresh their first aid skills.
The Apply First Aid qualification
should be updated every three
years, the Red Cross College said.
“Many people who have
completed their First Aid
qualification have let their skills
lapse putting those close to them
at risk by either having forgotten
what they have learnt or using outof-
date procedures,” said Chris
Casey, GM – National Business
Development at Red Cross College.
