The Baby Safe Program online (virtual) program was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, when on-site parenting education classes at maternity hospitals were suspended and moved to an online platform. We are continuing to offer this option, in addition to our face-to-face, Small Group classes in 2024.
The Baby Safe Program Online consists of a series of three virtual classes (modules):
Module 1 |
Module 2 | Module 3 |
Safe Sleeping to reduce the risk of SUDI, including SIDS | Recognising and responding to an unwell baby | Baby Basic Life Support (Baby CPR) and Baby First Aid |

Attendance at a Baby Safe Program Online does not lead to a professional qualification or a certification of competency in basic life support or infant resuscitation. Nor can it prevent the sudden and/or unexpected death of a newborn baby, older infant, or child.
These online classes have been designed to share the best available evidence and current recommendations from Expert Advisory Groups. Occasionally, your Paediatrician or other Health Care Provider may give you alternative advice based on your baby's individual circumstances.
Whilst appreciable care has been taken in the preparation of all training material, Precious Care Australia Pty Ltd shall not be held responsible for any act or omission which may result in injury or death to any baby, infant or child as a result of reliance on this training material.
