They bring their experience from the field to the classroom, to provide you with the necessary training, and teach you what you need to know when moments count.
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.
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.
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.

WOULD YOU RECOGNISE A PULLED ELBOW IN YOUR TODDLER?
.
A pulled elbow (Nursemaids elbow) is a common injury among children under the age of five. It is the result of the lower arm (radius bone) becoming partially dislocated (slipping out) of its normal position.
.
These injuries are usually caused by a child being lifted up by the arms or when a child falls. Whilst these injuries can be fixed without any ongoing issues it is important to recognise the signs of a pulled elbow as whilst most children cry during the initial lift or fall, they often can carry on throughout the day and mask their injury by no longer using their injured arm or it will simply let it hang by their side.
.
To prevent a pulled elbow, make sure you don't pick your child up by the lower arms or wrists – lift them up using their armpits instead
.
If you suspect your child has a pulled elbow seek medical attention as soon as you can - the longer the elbow is out of place the more difficult it can be to relocate. The elbow will need to be manipulated back into place by a doctor or qualified Nurse or Paramedic. Whilst the procedure can be distressing it only lasts for a second or two. #rescueblue

"To the mama to be... I know.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know your feet are hurting and also your back.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know it’s hard to walk so now you waddle.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know it’s impossible to get comfy at night and your bladder wakes you up at 1, 3 + 4am.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know that you may feel lonely sometimes and cry when no ones watching.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know that you may be scared of what’s to come and your anxiety will take over.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know your clothes don’t fit anymore and putting on your shoes is a task.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know you may be craving that extra strong coffee or large glass of wine.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know you're waiting ever so patiently but can’t help thinking 'is today the day.' I know you’ve re-packed your hospital bag 100 times.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know you're panicking about what you have or haven’t got for when baby comes home.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know you NEED that ever so weird craving no matter what time of day/night.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I know you talk to your baby and massage your bump.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I also know that soon, very soon, the day will be here and you will be speaking to your baby whilst looking in their eyes and you won’t believe they are actually here.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Everything you have been planning will all be worth it. Your whole world will change and you will become this super protective and loving mother. Nothing else in the world will compare and you will feel happiness like no other.⠀⠀
So to all the beautiful mums and bumps out there... YOU GOT THIS 💪🏼💫"⠀⠀

2020 Mums, you did it 💪 This year was a tough one. Whether you were homeschooling without a single teaching qualification in your toolkit, giving birth without your family allowed present, or trying to navigate the 'new normal' for yourself and your family - you freakin' did it!
.
We hope you'll take the new year as an opportunity to pause and reflect on everything you've achieved and survived this year. We hope you'll celebrate your own resilience and be proud of surviving this crazy year. We did it! 🥳 #2020 #rescueblue

2020 ✨
🤍 We made it through our first year of parenthood!
🤍 We took our son Jordi overseas for the first time to his grandparents native land Sri Lanka.
🤍 Rescueblue took on two new business owners Jess Peters @jess_rescueblue and Kellie Ingram @kellie_rescueblue spreading its wings across Brisbane + Sunshine Coast + Gold Coast + Shoalhaven Region NSW.
🤍 We launched our virtual classroom.
🤍 We filmed our online training modules, which will be launched very soon!
🤍 We grew our team by hiring one new Paramedic trainer Ryan and social media/admin support Amy.
🤍 The world discovered about new forms of heroism among frontline health workers 🚑, cleaners, delivery drivers, cashiers and volunteers.
🤍 But most importantly we continued to empower thousands of parents virtually and face to face with the skills to save a child’s life 💙👶🏻🚑
