The Australian Lifesaving Academy (ALA) NSW delivers both accredited and non-accredited first aid, emergency care and CPR training on a fee-for-service basis. It does this through public courses and onsite courses to schools, childcare centres, private industry and government agencies.
The ALA also supplies SLSNSW endorsed first aid equipment for SLSCs and members of the public to purchase online through the online SLSNSW Shop.
Sometimes SLSCs require assistance to ensure their members receive or maintain the currency of their accredited training for patrolling or assessing purposes, notably, for accredited awards that expire within 12 months or 3 years in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. SLSCs may also like to offer mental health first aid training to their members at the start of the patrol season to better prepare them for any critical incident that may occur while on patrol or during situations they may encounter in a leadership role.
The ALA is available through SLSNSW to support SLSCs provide regular training to its members at significantly discounted rates. SLSNSW CTOs may contact the ALA via email or call 1300 766 257 to enquire about courses, group booking options for your SLSC members and any of the SLSNSW endorsed first aid equipment on their online shop.
