HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the standard first aid qualification required for most Australian workplaces. The disability add-on adds specialised content for those that work in the disabled or aged care sectors. If you work in a childcare, early learning, or education and care environment, you may require HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting. Some higher-risk industries may require advanced first aid qualifications.

The HLTAID011 Provide First Aid qualification should be renewed every 3 years. The CPR component included within the course, HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is recommended by the Australian Resuscitation Council to be refreshed annually.

HLTAID009 focuses specifically on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). HLTAID010 covers basic emergency life support skills, while HLTAID011 provides a broader workplace first aid qualification that includes CPR, emergency response procedures, injury management, and treatment of common medical emergencies.

This course includes HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and covers practical first aid skills including CPR for adults and infants, AED use, management of unconscious casualties, bleeding and wound care, burns, fractures, asthma, anaphylaxis, seizures, strokes, shock, and emergency incident reporting.

The disability add-on covers additional items such as:

Other topics relevant to this sector

Wheelchair access – conducting CPR, choking
