Provided tailored training for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, improving culturally relevant health education. Enhancing Digital Accessibility Progressed the development of an openaccess first aid learning app, designed to reach caregivers Australiawide with microlearning modules on responding to childhood emergencies. Expanded online resources, including downloadable guides and multilingual materials to support diverse caregivers. Strengthening Community and Corporate Partnerships Secured 8 new partnerships with health organisations, local councils, and community groups to scale our impact. Increased funding through grants, sponsorships, and fundraising initiatives, ensuring sustainability for future programs. Measuring Impact and Continuous Improvement Conducted posttraining surveys, with participants reporting increased a double in confidence in handling childhood medical emergencies.
