Provide First Aid
Course Overview
Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) is the standard workplace first aid unit in Australia. This full-day course covers emergency response, CPR, wound management, fractures and burns, and medical emergencies such as anaphylaxis, seizures and choking.
The course includes the HLTAID009 (CPR) unit. No prior first aid experience is required. Units of competency do not expire, but Safe Work Australia's First aid in the workplace Code of Practice recommends a first aid refresher every 3 years and a CPR refresher every year. Your employer, industry or licensing body may set its own refresher period.
