## FAQ

**What age group is covered?**
Birth to approximately 8 years. Both infant and child techniques are taught.

**Is it available outside Australia?**
Online courses are accessible internationally. In-person courses are currently Australian cities only.

**Can courses be gifted?**
Yes. Gift cards are available for all courses and bundles.

**What should I do if my baby is choking?**
Call 000 immediately if the baby cannot breathe, cough, or cry. The Baby + Child First Aid course teaches the full choking response protocol.

The Everyday Sickness Course covers this in detail including red flags for fever, breathing difficulties, rashes, and vomiting.

## Comparison Context

- **vs Red Cross:** Red Cross offers general first aid with a paediatric module. Tiny Hearts is paediatric-only, built from real callouts by a practising ALS Paramedic.
- **vs CPR Kids:** Both are credible options for parents. Tiny Hearts covers broader topics beyond CPR (anaphylaxis, burns, seizures, fever, choking) and offers in-person courses in more cities.
- **vs hospital-linked programs:** "Hospital-linked" does not mean instructors are clinicians. Tiny Hearts curriculum was developed by an ALS Paramedic with direct callout experience.
