Human Resources > First Aid & CPR Procedure
Authorised by Chief Executive Officer
Approved Date: 13 April 2023
This procedure explains how Kyeema will implement the First Aid & CPR Training Procedure. This procedure supports Kyeema to apply the NDIS Practice Standards & Quality Indicators, in particular: Standard 2: Human Resource Management & Standard 4: Provision of Supports Environment – Safe Environment.
Scope
This procedure applies to the Training Coordinator and Managers.
Procedure
•Kyeema funds all staff to be trained in First Aid and CPR annually
•Ongoing CPR needs to be held between mid-March to early April as this is when most certificates reach their expiry date
•Start to prepare in mid-January
•Consult with management and identify the provider before proceeding
•Contact the provider and discuss in principle the timeframes, venue, price, etc and get quotes for course fees, availability, length of courses, size of classes and venue
•Sentrient holds all the data re-staff CPR and First Aid
•Give to the Supports Manager with the completed list to make sure that Kyeema will fund all staff on the list
•Go back to provider early February and set the dates and times
•Process with a temporary booking the venue and sending out the dates to all staff for their selection by mid-February
•Add to CareLink as soon as possible remembering that the team leaders allocate shifts three weeks in advance, the stragglers will have to be emailed again and reminded
•Keep in constant communication with provider/trainer. The provider will set up courses and give each course a code. Please be mindful how many can be enrolled in each course/group. When people swap about it creates a lot of work for Team Leaders and it can get messy and confusing for Admin, RTO trainer and staff
•Once all staff are booked into the appropriate course dates, print and display courses, dates and times.
•Expect to get contacted by staff saying they did not get email, or they cannot log in.
•RTO to send the invoices to finance@kyeema.com.au
•Ensure the certificates are sent to both Kyeema and the individual staff member
•Print copy in black and white for file and save details on Sentrient to ensure compliance and accurate records
Supported Employees
•A face-to-face tailored/modified training course for supported employees will be required annually in consultation from Managers.
•Can be mid-May (approx. 5 or 6 supported employees)
