ACT FAST: A Simple Assessment Framework for When Your Child Is Unwell
Know when to watch.
Know when to act.
Know when to seek help.
A practical, nurse-designed course that teaches parents how to assess their child clearly and confidently without medical jargon or overwhelm.
When your child is unwell, the hardest part isn’t caring for them.
It’s knowing whether you should be worried.
Is this normal?
Are they coping?
Am I missing something?
Most parents don’t lack instinct.
They lack a clear system to organise what they’re seeing.
That’s where ACT FAST comes in.
Now $49, normally $79. The full course, lifetime access, yours to keep

What ACT fast does
ACT FAST is a practical framework created by paediatric nurses and used alongside baby and child first aid principles.
It helps you answer one critical question.
Is my child coping or do they need medical help?
This course does not replace emergency services.
It strengthens your ability to recognise red flags early and seek help appropriately.
What you will learn
Inside this course, you’ll learn how to confidently assess:
✔ Alertness – are they responsive and behaving normally for them?
✔ Colour – does their skin look usual, pale, grey, blue, or clammy?
✔ Trouble Breathing – are they breathing easily or working harder than normal?
✔ Fluids & Fontanelle – are they drinking, feeding, weeing as expected?
✔ Abnormal Cry & Abdomen – is their cry different, or is there tummy pain or swelling?
✔ Skin Changes – are there rashes that don’t fade when pressed?
✔ Temperature – when does fever matter, and when does it not?
Everything is explained clearly, calmly, and in practical terms parents can actually remember.
