Emergency Helpers - Early Childhood Emergency Program
It is important that every person understands how and when to call for emergency services, regardless of age. Early childhood settings provide the perfect platform for important educational messages and provide a safe learning environment for children to understand these messages. It is often the case that children are responsible for dialling Zero Zero Zero in an emergency and become solely responsible for directing the ambulance.
As a pre-cursor to the Be an Ambulance Hero: Dial Zero Zero Zero primary school education program, the Ambulance Emergency Helpers Program aims to prepare children between the ages of 3-5 years for emergency situations. This free electronic program includes the following program lessons:
- How to identify an emergency service worker
- The number to call in an emergency
- The importance of learning their home address
Once your school/pre-school has completed this program, we may be able to arrange for a paramedic to attend your school and give a brief overview of emergency education and safety awareness. To request a visit from a paramedic visit please download a copy of the Request Form and fax it to 9320 7804.
