This program is a one-off introductory program, primarily for Ipswich residents. Priority is given to those who have not yet participated in this program.
If your child has already participated in a Kids CPR Awareness Session at any time in the past, if there are no available session times suitable, or if you reside outside of the Ipswich local government area, you are welcome to join the program waitlist and we will contact you if a space becomes available.
Sessions have been designed specifically for children aged 5–12 years, however, children over 12 years are welcome to enrol.
- These sessions are offered under Ipswich City Council’s SEAL Pool Safety Program
- Each session runs for one hour and is delivered by Queensland Ambulance Service
- Bookings are essential as places are limited
- Note these sessions do not provide a CPR qualification upon completion
