This year has stretched us in ways we didn’t expect.

There were highs we’ll never forget and lows that tested us deeply. In all honesty, this has been one of the most challenging years we’ve faced in business. And we know we’re not alone in that. So many businesses have felt the weight of this year.

But through it all, our purpose never shifted.

Every message from a parent. Every story of a life saved. Every moment where knowledge made the difference. That is what kept us going when things felt heavy.

As we head into 2026, we do so with more determination than ever. Determined to protect what we’ve built. Determined to honour the legacy of Tiny Hearts. And determined to keep remembering why we started. To support parents in the moments that matter most. The moments that keep their little ones safe.

Thank you to every parent who has trusted us. To everyone who has learned with us, shared our message and stood beside us this year. You are the reason we exist, and we are so grateful to be on this journey with you ❤️

SPARKLER SAFETY WARNING ⚠️

Real story:
“We were given our sparklers and we were delighted. I remember thinking I felt like a magical fairy. That was until sparks from the sparkler ignited my clothing and I became a literal human torch.

I was in an induced coma for a few weeks. Upon regaining consciousness I had most of my left hand amputated and my parents discovered that I needed grafting on full thickness burns on 49% of my body and face. I had multiple reconstructions, grafts, muscle flaps, physio to learn how to walk, pressure garments and masks. After months I finally left intensive care and they taught my mother to dress my wounds at home between surgeries.

For years until I was 20 I spent the majority of my life in hospital having surgeries or physio. Even now at the age of 32 I still have them. As much as I have adapted, one split second changed my life. Yet it’s something that people don’t think about. Sparklers are highly dangerous and account for the majority of firework related serious injuries. Yet we class them as “safe”.

Thank you for sharing Rachael so we can all be more aware and keep our little ones safe this NYE 🫶

Your child’s swimwear colour genuinely matters!

Before Tiny Hearts, I was a swim teacher, and then I became a paramedic. Across both roles, one thing was consistently clear. The easier a child is to see in water, the faster you can respond when something goes wrong.

Certain colours disappear quickly in pools and even more so in the ocean. Dark colours, muted tones, and neutrals blend into the water, shadows, and movement, making it harder to spot a child in distress. Bright, high contrast colours stand out and are easier to track, even with glare, waves, or splashing.

Drowning is fast and silent. Visibility buys time, and time matters.

Swimwear colour does not replace supervision, barriers, or swimming skills, but it is an important additional layer. When you are scanning water, you want your eyes to catch your child instantly.

Choose visibility. It is a simple decision that can make a meaningful difference.

Give honey or Jam 🫶❤️

What happens when a button battery gets stuck in your child’s throat? It starts burning through tissue in as little as 2 hours and the damage can be catastrophic.

What slows a button battery from burning through a child’s throat? Research shows honey and jam can help.

A 2024 study tested common foods on button batteries lodged in tissue. The standouts were honey and jam. Both formed a protective barrier, reduced the burn, and slowed the chemical reaction. 🍯 Over 12 months = honey 🍓 Under 12 months = give jam instead. It offers similar protection without the risk of infant botulism. We share free daily tips to help keep your little ones safe. But real confidence comes from learning exactly what to do in ANY emergency. Our renowned baby first aid course empowers you with the skills that could save a life.

THIS 👏 WILL 👏 SAVE 👏 LIVES

Every week, 20 children are taken to ED after swallowing a button battery – these are the lucky ones though, because their parents knew they had swallowed one!

The issue with button batteries is that the symptoms are slow and vague, and unless you saw it, you wouldn’t suspect it. This is how it kills children 💔

👉 These button batteries are the new Energizer 3-in-1 – they taste absolutely disgusting (I tried one in this video 🤢), they change colour when wet, and they alert parents with an alarming blue colour if a child does manage to swallow one, so you can initiate immediate and life-saving treatment.

Who would have thought eating something like this in the sun, something so many of us do with our kids, could lead to this?

I still remember this hitting my inbox and immediately knowing I needed to share it with our beautiful community of parents.

Be safe in the sun with those citrus fruits 🍋

Leave those shoes at the door! 🦠

Did you know your shoes carry more germs and dirt than a toilet seat? When you’ve got a tiny newborn at home, their little immune systems are still developing, making them extra vulnerable to nasty bacteria and germs tracked inside on your shoes.

Stepping outside means stepping on who-knows-what: animal droppings, pesticides, bacteria, and allergens.

And the last thing we want is bringing all that mess where our little ones play, crawl, and explore with their tiny hands and mouths.

When you feel your concerns aren’t being heard in hospital, you have the right to escalate care. Each state has its own pathway you can call for immediate action:

✅ QLD: Ryan’s Rule
✅ NSW: REACH Program
✅ ACT: Patient & Family Escalation + CARE
✅ WA: Aishwarya’s CARE Call
✅ Other states: Ask for the Patient Liaison Officer

However matter where you are in the world, one powerful sentence can cut through:

🗣️ “What is your escalation process? I’m concerned and I’d like a second opinion.”

You are your child’s voice. Knowing how to speak up could change the outcome.

Our Story

Tiny Hearts Education was born from a community need.

While working as a paramedic, Nikki noticed that parents, just like you, were faced with a devastating problem. They lacked essential paediatric first aid knowledge which led to terrible outcomes; distressed parents, a really sick bub - or even more devastatingly, the loss of a life.

Something had to change, so Nikki teamed up with her sister Rach, and they made it their life's work to equip parents with the skill to save the life of the little person that means the most to them.

We started out small in our Mum's garage with just the two of us, and over five years later have proudly grown to empower and educate over 60,000 Australian parents.
