New First Aid for Seniors Class to support community safety
St John Ambulance Tasmania, through its Scooters & Mobility division, is launching a vital new initiative to support the safety and well-being of seniors in the community. The First Aid for Seniors class debuts 29th October at 10:30am at Scooters & Mobility store,177 Main Road, Moonah.
This free session is designed to equip older Tasmanians with essential first aid skills that can make a life-saving difference in emergency situations, while also helping to maintain their independence. In addition to practical first aid training, the class will feature demonstrations of everyday safety tools like easy-pour kettles and personal safety alarms.
But it’s not just about learning first aid—this initiative is also about fostering a sense of community. The session offers an opportunity for seniors to connect, share experiences, and enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere over tea and biscuits. Staying socially engaged is just as important as staying physically safe, and this class aims to provide both.
