Putting lifesaving skills into all parents hands.
The Sisterhood Project is partnering with First Aid providers to offer free infant and Child First Aid training to parents and carers that can’t otherwise afford it. This will help prevent and respiratory disease and save lives.
In Victoria, approximately 40% of children who suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest will not survive.
CPR provided at the scene is one of the major predictors of survival for out of hospital cardiac arrests, but not all parents and carers have this life saving skill or can afford to attend training to obtain it.
Our mission is to help save children’s lives and prevent death from respiratory disease by equipping vulnerable and low-income mothers with the knowledge needed in an emergency.
Our free Infant and Child First Aid courses can significantly improve infant and child survival rates and save lives.
SAVING LIVES.
PREVENTING DEATH.
SAVING LIVES. PREVENTING DEATH.
First Aid training has been shown time and again to have a significant impact on the outcomes of adults and children that suffer respiratory disease as a result of an accident, injury or a cardiac arrest.
With courses costing anywhere from $90-$150, for some parents it could mean going without groceries or rent for the week. For others, they simply do not have access to their finances or the freedom to choose how that money is spent.
By providing free Infant and Child First Aid courses to vulnerable and low income mothers we are empowering them to know what to do in an emergency. This knowledge can significantly improve infant and child survival rates from respiratory disease and save lives.

Help us save lives!
Our vision is to increase access to free infant and child First Aid courses for parents and carers across Victoria, to help increase the survival of children following serious accidents and injuries.
We also want to break down barriers by making this information easier to learn for non-English speakers and those with lower literacy levels.
If you are interested in, or are passionate about helping us save children’s lives, please use the donate button to support our cause.

Skye Larson
Grace and Skye Larson are sisters that saw a need to make first aid training more accessible to parents and carers who can’t afford it. So they decided to start The Sisterhood Project together to fund this training.
Growing up with a nurse for a mother we were encouraged to learn about first aid and were even taken along to the hospital some days by mum. We have been very fortunate to have access to her medical knowledge growing up and when having children of our own.
Grace and Skye are both very passionate about The Sisterhood Project and making a real difference to the lives of parents, carers and children while also reducing the strain on our emergency services.
