Our Story
Theo Mallos is an Intensive Care Paramedic, a 2018 recipient of the Victor Chang Heart of Gold Award and the owner of Rescueblue.
After attending a heart-breaking job in his role as a paramedic, Theo and his wife Chanelle embarked on a journey to empower all parents and carers with the essential skills needed to save a child’s life.
Five years on, and with thousands of parents and carers trained, Theo and Chanelle invite you to attend one of their truly valuable Little Aid Workshops.
Jess Peters is a mother of two beautiful boys and a registered paramedic with over 11 years experience in emergency prehospital care. Jess and Theo started their careers together working in the busy inner city of Sydney, attending to life threatening emergencies. Jess has since moved to the sunny Sunshine Coast and has taken Rescueblue with her, teaching throughout southern Queensland. Jess aims to educate her community with the skills needed to save a child’s life. Touch base with Jess and let her and her team empower you today.
Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I BRING MY BABY TO THE LITTLE AID WORKSHOP?
Absolutely, bring your kids and babies! It wouldn’t be Little Aid without little people!
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM/MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOR A PRIVATE LITTLE AID WORKSHOP?
The minimum requirement to host a private Little Aid Workshop is 6 people. We do not have a maximum number, however if we feel that the group is becoming to large we may bring an additional trainer along at no extra charge to you.
WHO IS THE LITTLE AID WORKSHOP TAILORED TOWARDS?
Everyone! We highly recommend our workshop to parents, nannies, grandparents and babysitters. Basically anyone who will be looking after your child.
HOW LONG DOES THE LITTLE AID WORKSHOP GO FOR?
The training ranges from 2.5 – 3 hours depending on the size of the group and questions.
I LIVE IN A SMALL APARTMENT; CAN I STILL HOLD A LITTLE AID WORKSHOP?
We love cozy! All we ask is that each participant has enough room to sit on the floor with a mannequin.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE BIG GROUP, HOW CAN I ATTEND A LITTLE AID WORKSHOP?
Rescueblue holds Public Little Aid Workshops monthly that anyone can attend. These are held Australia wide. See our “Public Little Aid Workshop” page for times and dates for a workshop near you.

When you train your sons idol @simon_wiggle and his lovely partner @lozhannaford you have to get a photo to prove it 😅 Here’s what they had to say: “As soon to be first time parents, there is obviously a lot @lozhannaford and I have no idea about. 😆
One thing we have always wanted to do before becoming parents is to ensure we are as informed as possible with Pediatric First Aid and CPR.
Today we took part in a pediatric first aid training workshop run by @rescueblue_littleaid
So informative, full of practical advice and a must for all parents.
We have learnt vital skills and feel confident with how to react and respond should an emergency arise thanks to Rescueblue.” • www.rescueblue.com.au • 💙👶🏻🚑

Did you know that it is believed that babies do respond and recognise their father's voice from the womb. Babies are born with blurry vision, and by the time they are a few weeks old (in most cases by the time babies turn two) they are most likely to recognise both their parents' faces 💙👶🏻🚑 @rescueblue_littleaid @littleaid_aus • www.rescueblue.com.au • #saveyourchildslifetoday

Can you spot the real one? 👀😉 Our last Sydney workshop for the year is now booked out! Join us on SUN 10 JAN, Bondi Junction or this SAT 28 NOV, Brisbane QLD 🔆🌴 Here are our 5 steps to sun safety for kids:
☀️ Limit outdoor playtime to between 10am-4pm
☀️ Apply sunscreen 30mins before your child goes into the sun.
☀️ Cover up: Wear protective clothing and a hat.
☀️Keep watch on medications as some medications increase the skins sensitivity to the sun.
☀️Set a good example for your kids.

LITTLE HEROES FIRST AID ⛑ To train kids is a real honour. Here’s what @mummy_movement had to say about our workshop: “Today, 31 of our Mini Movers were lucky enough to be part of @rescueblue_littleaid Little Heroes kids first aid course. The kids all had a great time learning how to call for help, what to do if they find someone unresponsive and how to do a basic bandage. As a parent, I feel reassured that if my 4 year old found me unconscious she would have a better idea of what to do. Thank you so much Kerri, Theo and Chanelle, we’ll see you again next year 🙌🏼
P.s. @rescueblue_littleaid run the best first aid, CPR and infant first aid courses around, I wouldn’t take my business anywhere else so hit them up if you or your team are due for an update!” @rescueblue_littleaid @krob2990 @littleaid_aus

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GIVE YOUR BUB ALLERGENS? Did you know that once an allergen has been introduced, you should continue to give these foods to your baby regularly (twice weekly), as part of a varied diet, to maintain tolerance. Trying a food and then not giving it regularly may result in food allergy development • allergy.org.au • 💙👶🏻🚑 @rescueblue_littleaid #saveachildslifetoday 📸 by @markmorffewstudios

TV REMOTE + CAR KEYS: ARE THESE DANGEROUS TO YOUR BUB?🔑 The home is full of dangers however one that is often overlooked is lithium batteries. Small button like batteries are the perfect size for a toddler or small child to pick up and put in their mouth. If undetected they can burn through a child’s oesophagus in two hours and have devastating consequences including life long injuries or death.
These small shiny batteries are often found in tv remotes, small toys or car keys. To avoid your child getting their hands on a small battery:
✅ Keep your batteries locked in a cupboard at least 1.5m high
✅ Make sure that all your toys and remotes have screws on their battery cover
✅ Ensure you throw out old batteries in an outside bin
If your child swallows a battery or you suspect they have swallowed a battery you should:
🚑 Call 000
🚑 Take your child to an emergency department for x-rays
🚑 Do not try and induce vomiting as this could cause secondary burns to the oesophagus.
🚑 Do not give them anything to eat or drink while waiting for the ambulance. @rescueblue_littleaid @jess_rescueblue #saveachildslifetoday • www.rescueblue.com.au

WHY SHOULD PREGNANT WOMEN SLEEP ON THEIR SIDE?🤰🏻Experts recommend pregnant women avoid sleeping on their backs during the second and third trimesters. Why? The back sleep position rests the entire weight of the growing uterus and baby on your back, your intestines and your vena cava, the main vein that carries blood back to the heart from your lower body • @rescueblue_littleaid 💙👶🏻🚑 www.rescueblue.com.au

LANUGO✨Why are some babies born with hair on their body? That soft peach fuzz covering your new baby's back, shoulders, arms and feet may be shocking, but it's also very normal. Officially known as lanugo, it is the first hair made by the body and it plays a vital role in protecting the baby's skin and regulating her body temperature in the womb. It usually disappears by 36 to 40 weeks gestation, which explains why babies born early are more likely to have it. 📸 by @sarbury_photo_design • www.rescueblue.com.au 💙👶🏻🚑 @rescueblue_littleaid

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TAKE BUBS TEMPERATURE? 🤒 With thousands of baby thermometers on the market, we often get asked this question - what’s the best baby thermometer? The traditional digital probe thermometer which is placed under bubs armpit actually provides you with the most accurate reading. This is followed by the ear thermometers which are safe to use once bubs are 6 months and older 📸 by @jess_rescueblue at @cheekylittlemonkeysplay 💙👶🏻🚑
