Our Courses
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.
Eight 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.
Kellie Ingram is a mother to two gorgeous children and a current Intensive Care Paramedic and Extended Care Paramedic. Throughout her career she has worked in the rural and metropolitan settings, while gaining an abundance of knowledge along the way. Kellie lives on the beautiful South Coast of NSW, running regular courses throughout the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands. Kellie’s goal is to empower parents through education and prove that first aid really is easy.

What is your advice for a mother or father feeling overwhelmed?
"Firstly have a deep breath and maybe a cry and a hug. Then chat honestly about where your struggles are and what your ideals are. Get on the same page and ask for help. It is hands down the fastest way to get out of the anxiety, isolation and overwhelmed cycle and help get things back on track, if sleep is the major problem it will also be playing a major part in how you are feeling and coping. Being on the same page as your parenting partner will help you better support one another and make decisions to find your path out."

"Nobody puts baby in a corner"!
All parents to toddlers are well aware this won't fly...as your baby starts walking, everything needs to be kicked up a gear - including your at-home safety precautions! What may have worked your little baby, won't cut it for your growing, exploring and constantly moving toddler. Here are our top tips for making sure your home is ready for your baby as they begin discovering what the world is like on two feet!
Be aware of areas in the house that people are commonly gathered and moving through (e.g. the kitchen, lounge room) as these are places where objects and potential chocking hazards are likely to dropped or left on the floor or an easy-access point for your toddler.
Let us know how your toddler is constantly keeping you on your toes in the comments!

Do you know how to treat Jellyfish stings?
They can be quite nasty, extremely painful, and if you are up in the tropics, potentially fatal! If you are in the tropics it’s always important to follow local advice about where and when is safest to swim.
Anywhere south of Rockhampton though, and we usually only see minor Jellyfish stings.
Have you been stung by a Jellyfish before?

Put your hand up if you have ever been in an emergency situation and been thankful that someone else had taken charge?
Well, what if the person that you THINK has taken charge, has also assumed that YOU have taken charge? Suddenly no one is in charge and nothing gets done.
By following DRSABCD systematically during each emergency, you cover the all important step of SENDING FOR HELP.
Remember if you don’t send for help, then no one is coming to help you!
Have you ever found yourself unknowingly trapped in the bystander effect? Comment below with your experience!

There is no thought more terrifying then having a child unwell in hospital. But even worse, would be the feeling that no one is listening to your concerns about their health status and treatment.
As health professionals, we advocate for your health on a daily basis. And we want you to do the same thing for your children.
Have you ever requested a Ryans Rule clinical review?

How many times have you questioned your decisions when your child is unwell?
For a lot of parents, the decision to phone an ambulance is not always clear cut. I can’t tell you how many times a parent has said to me “I wasn’t sure if we should take up a resource or not”.
There are of course many reasons why you might decide to call an Ambulance for your child, but as a starting point, the information in the slides above should head you in the right direction.
As paramedics, we aim to educate and empower parents so that they can confidently make the decision as to when an Ambulance is required.

There is nothing worse then when your baby just won't stop crying and not knowing why or how to soothe them! We have created a checklist for you in those times. Crying is how your little one communicates it's needs, but this can be difficult to read and understand... sometimes impossible! It's also important to look after yourself, as a crying baby can be extremely overwhelming and stressful. When you’re calm and centred, you’ll be better able to figure out what’s going on. Take a deep breath, take a break and reach out for support if needed.
Rescueblue Tip: Never Shake Your Baby! This can cause the brain to bruise or bleed, which can lead to blindness, learning problems, brain damage, or death.

🏍Is your toddler fascinated with running up and trying to touch parked motorcycles like our little one? Why is this so dangerous? Did you know that a motorcycles exhaust pipe can typically reach approximately 850 degrees celsius!🔥Simply swiping your hand or leg over the exhaust pipe of a parked motorcycle can leave your child with 2nd or 3rd degree burns, with potential to lose function in their hand or leg 🥺
Swipe for our top Rescueblue tips on how treat severe burns:
Here are some other everyday items used in and around the house which cause the most burn and scald injuries:
🔥 hot drinks such as cups of tea and coffee
🔥 water from saucepans, kettles, jugs, billies, urns and thermoses
hot food solids and saucepans of hot liquid
🔥 coal ashes
🔥 friction burns – for example, treadmills
🔥 running hot water from taps, showers and bath water
🔥 lighters and matches
🔥fat and hot cooking oil
🔥steam and vapour
🔥vehicle exhausts
