At Anzen Safety & Training, we deliver nationally recognised anaphylaxis training from our Nelson Bay and Tomago training centres, supporting workplaces and individuals across Port Stephens, Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley. This course is designed for anyone who may need to provide first aid to a person experiencing anaphylaxis until medical help arrives.

Participants will learn to identify triggers, signs and symptoms of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, and to administer adrenaline using an autoinjector confidently and safely. Training follows the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and includes realistic scenarios to prepare you for both workplace and community emergencies.

Completing this course equips learners to develop and implement risk management and minimisation strategies for individuals diagnosed at risk of anaphylaxis in the workplace. You’ll also gain the skills to create individual anaphylaxis management plans and perform pre-emergency risk assessments to ensure preparedness.

This course provides nationally recognised certification for workers, first aiders and educators across all industry sectors — particularly relevant for childcare workers, school teachers and community support roles where allergy awareness and response are critical.
