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 KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARACETAMOL, IBUPROFEN & ASPIRIN?
💊 PARACETAMOL: Can be used for mild to moderate pain in babies over 1 month old, children, adolescents and adults. However, if too much paracetamol is given to a child for too long, it may harm the child.
💊 IBUPROFEN: Can be used for mild to moderate pain in children, adolescents and adults. It should not be used in children under 3 months of age.
💊 ASPIRIN: Never give aspirin to treat pain to your child if they are under 12 years, unless it is advised by your doctor.
Paracetamol or ibuprofen can make your child’s pain less severe and help them feel more comfortable, but neither medicine will make the cause of the pain go away.
Paracetamol and ibuprofen can help your child sleep more easily if they have a painful condition, such as an ear infection, sore throat, sore tummy or a broken bone.
If your child’s pain lasts for more than a few hours, the pain is moderate to severe, or your child is clearly unwell, take your child to a doctor to find out the cause.

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?
