Two fingers, the centre of the chest, and gentle, steady compressions — that's the heart of infant CPR, and it surprises a lot of people how different it is from adult CPR. Compress about a third of the depth of the chest, hold a steady rhythm, and know exactly when to get triple zero on the line. It's one of the hands-on skills getting a proper workout today as First Aid and CPR training runs at our CFA Training Centre in Taree, with plenty of practice on the manikins until it feels natural.

Parent, grandparent, carer or just curious? Grab a spot in our next First Aid or CPR course — or do both — and walk out ready to help when it counts.

The surf's still rolling in along Port Macquarie's beaches this afternoon, and it's the kind of place where things can turn serious in seconds — one swimmer gets caught in a rip, pulled out exhausted and barely breathing, and every second before proper CPR starts is a second that counts. That's exactly the skill our group at Port Macquarie Panthers is drilling into today, working through their First Aid and CPR training so if that moment ever lands on their beach, they're not standing there frozen. Bonus for anyone who's been putting it off: your certificate stays current for a good while once you've earned it, so it's well worth locking in your spot before it lapses.

Ready to be the person who knows exactly what to do next time? Jump into First Aid, CPR, or both with us — we'd love to have you along.

Midweek, and the kettle's already on at Port Macquarie Panthers! We've got a terrific crew of locals in with us today for First Aid and CPR training, and there's nothing we enjoy more than watching a room of near-strangers turn into a team within the first hour — swapping stories, cheering each other through their compressions, and heading home a whole lot more confident about stepping in when someone needs a hand. For plenty of them it also ticks a box at work, since lots of employers need their people holding a current First Aid or CPR certificate. But the real win is one more group of Port Macquarie people who'll know what to do for their neighbours, mates and families.

Keen to add your name to the next group? Come and train with us in First Aid, CPR, or both — we'll have the kettle on for you too.

Choking is frighteningly quiet. No gasping, no calling out for help — just someone standing there unable to make a single sound, and often a few long seconds before anyone nearby realises what's actually happening. Knowing to get in behind them, lean them forward and deliver five firm back blows between the shoulder blades is one of those skills that feels awkward right up until you've practised it properly — which is exactly what a great group of Taree locals is doing today at their First Aid and CPR training at our CFA Training Centre in Taree. How much force to use, when to move on to chest thrusts, and the moment to call triple zero — all of it drilled so it's simply there when you need it.

Fancy having that in your back pocket too? Come and learn it properly with us in First Aid, CPR, or the two together — you'll walk out knowing exactly what to do.

Picture an ordinary Saturday morning at the shops. Trolleys, queues, a kid negotiating hard for a chocolate bar — and then a bloke two aisles over goes down on the lino and doesn't get up. Everything that happens in the next few seconds comes down to one thing: whether anybody standing there actually knows what to do. That's exactly the gap a cracking group of locals is closing today at Port Macquarie Panthers, working through their First Aid and CPR training and learning how to check a casualty, make the call and get compressions going while the ambos are still on the road. Handy to know as well — once you've earned that certificate it stays current for a good stretch, so it's well worth getting sorted before it quietly runs out.

Never want to be the one frozen in that aisle? Learn it properly with us in First Aid, CPR, or the two together — we'll make sure you know exactly what to do.

15/09/2026

The doors are open at Port Macquarie Panthers and the room is filling up for this afternoon's First Aid and CPR training — honestly, this is the best part of our week. There's something pretty special about a bunch of Port Macquarie locals giving up their afternoon to learn how to look after each other: tradies, parents, hospitality crews, retirees, all in the one room having a laugh while picking up skills that genuinely matter. A fair few are here because their workplace expects staff to hold a current First Aid or CPR certificate, but every single one of them walks out with a whole lot more than a piece of paper. That's another slice of our community ready to step up when someone needs them.

Fancy joining the next one? We'd love to have you — First Aid, CPR, or the two together, and you'll head home knowing you could be the one who makes the difference.

Snake bite first aid catches a lot of people out. The old instincts — wash it, suck it, strap a tourniquet on — all do more harm than good. What actually works is a firm pressure immobilisation bandage started over the bite and wrapped the full length of the limb, a splint to stop it moving, and keeping the person as still as possible until help arrives. It takes a bit of practice to get the tension and the wrapping right, which is exactly what a great group of Taree locals is doing hands-on today at their First Aid and CPR training at our CFA Training Centre in Taree — along with all the other skills that turn a bystander into someone genuinely useful.

Live around here and reckon that's worth knowing? Come and learn it properly with us — First Aid, CPR, or the two together. There's a spot with your name on it.
