Life-threatening emergencies don’t wait until it’s convenient for you, you need to know first aid and CPR before they happen. Whether you’re at home, at work, or out and about, having the skills to provide first aid and perform CPR could mean the difference between life and death for someone you care about. Our comprehensive first aid and CPR certification course can equip you with the life-saving skills to respond when someone gets seriously hurt.
What's Covered in Our First Aid Course
Our HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course automatically includes your CPR certification (HLTAID009), so you walk away with both your first aid and CPR qualification in one go. The course is nationally accredited, meaning it’s recognised everywhere in Australia.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid Training
The first aid training course covers more than 25 of the most common first aid conditions and illnesses, including wounds, burns, fractures, sprains, allergic reactions, asthma and anaphylaxis attacks, and various other medical emergencies. You’ll learn first aid management techniques, such as bandaging and splinting, and how to use basic first aid equipment like bandages, ice packs, and slings.
HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Course (CPR Course)
While HLTAID011 includes CPR, CPR training can be taken separately through a HLTAID009 Provide CPR course. This content covers resuscitation techniques for adults, children, and infants. You’ll learn the DRSABCD protocol, (Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, Defibrillation), a step-by-step approach for any emergency, including how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
An Accredited Hands-On First Aid Training Course
You learn by doing, not just reading about it. Our first aid and CPR training puts you in realistic situations where you practise the knowledge and skills you’ll need during an emergency.
Practical Scenarios and Simulations: When someone’s life is on the line, you won’t have time to remember what you read in a book. Our hands-on practice means that when the worst happens, your body will know what to do automatically. You’ll have already felt what it’s like to perform CPR, so you won’t panic when it’s real.
Skills Practice and Assessment: We offer both a complete face-to-face course (5 hours) and a blended option where you complete readings and a quiz online before attending the 2-hour practical session. Either way, all hands-on assessment happens in person with our trainer, who provides individual feedback and ensures you’re confident with your skills.
Certification Details and Accreditation
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll receive nationally recognised statement of attainment certification for both HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. As an accredited training provider, we ensure all our first aid and CPR training meets Australian national standards and industry requirements.
Accredited Course Standards: Our first aid and CPR course aligns with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and meets requirements set by Safe Work Australia, the National Asthma Council, the Epilepsy Foundation, and the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA).
Certification Validity and Renewal: A first aid certificate remains valid for three years before needing to be renewed to make sure you’re up to date with any new developments or breakthroughs. In line with the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, the CPR component of your qualification needs to be renewed every 12 months to help keep your skills and knowledge second nature under the pressure of a real world emergency.

Who Should Take This Training Course
Workplace Requirements: The Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act and WHS Regulations require all Australian workplaces to provide first aid facilities and trained first aiders. This means workplaces like schools, construction sites, offices with more than 10 people, childcare centres, and many others must have staff with a current first aid and CPR certification. Your boss might ask you to get certified, or you might want it for job applications to make yourself look more employable.
Sports and Recreation: Coaches, referees, and sports club volunteers often need first aid certification. Sports injuries are extremely common, and having trained people can prevent minor injuries from becoming serious ones.
Family Medical Conditions: People caring for family members with diabetes, epilepsy, severe allergies, or heart conditions benefit from knowing how to respond to medical emergencies specific to those conditions.
Personal Interest: Some people simply want to be prepared to help strangers in public emergencies. Whether it’s someone having a heart attack at the shops or a child choking at a restaurant, these skills let you step up when others might freeze.
