If you need CPR training for work or a clinical placement in Australia, you’ll see the code HLTAID009 everywhere. This nationally recognised unit of competency (Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is what employers, universities, and regulators actually require. An accredited HLTAID009 Provide CPR course includes DRSABCD, adult and infant CPR, safe AED use, managing an unconscious casualty, infection control/PPE, incident reporting, and a trainer-observed practical assessment to confirm competency. Without that practical assessment, it’s not an accredited CPR certificate. This guide explains exactly what HLTAID009 includes, how it aligns to Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidance, and what the practical assessment process actually looks like, so you can book with confidence and meet workplace compliance requirements.
Quick Answer: What HLTAID009 Includes
If you only read one section, read this. HLTAID009 is the unit code for Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It covers life-saving skills you perform before emergency services arrive. You learn the DRSABCD meaning and sequence, adult and infant CPR technique, how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED), how to position an unconscious breathing casualty, infection control and personal protective equipment (PPE) basics, and how to communicate with emergency services and write an incident report. You don’t just watch videos. You must demonstrate CPR skills in a simulated scenario under trainer observation, including uninterrupted CPR on manikins. Once you pass the knowledge assessment and practical demonstration, you receive a Statement of Attainment for HLTAID009, linked to your Unique Student Identifier (USI). That’s your nationally recognised certification.
| What You Do | What It Means |
| Learn | DRSABCD action plan, CPR technique, AED safety, unconscious casualty management, infection control, reporting/handover |
| Demonstrate | Observed practical CPR + AED scenario, correct sequencing, safe technique, communication/reporting tasks |
| Receive | Statement of Attainment for HLTAID009, issued by RTO, linked to USI, recognised nationally |
Nationally recognised certification means the training is delivered and assessed by an authorised Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and the result is recorded as a VET Statement of Attainment linked to your USI, so it can be recognised across states and industries. ACECQA treats CPR as needing annual refreshers for education and care settings, so staying current is part of maintaining compliance. HLTAID009 training is ARC-aligned CPR education plus a trainer-observed practical assessment. Without the assessment, it’s not an accredited CPR certificate.
What Is HLTAID009 (Provide CPR) and Who Is It For?
HLTAID009 is a unit of competency from the HLT Health Training Package. It defines the skills and knowledge required to perform CPR in community and workplace contexts, following current ARC guidelines. The unit is designed for anyone who needs to respond to an emergency where a person is unconscious and not breathing normally. Common industries that require HLTAID009 include construction, childcare and education, healthcare placements, hospitality, events, security, and volunteer organisations. Workplaces often list CPR training as a prerequisite for induction or compliance audits. Universities require it for clinical placements.
If your workplace or placement coordinator asks for ‘HLTAID009’, they are asking for an accredited unit of competency, not a participation certificate. The University of Queensland notes that CPR certificates are valid for 12 months in their requirements context, and they will not accept online-only certificates that lack practical assessment components. That’s a real compliance standard. Some organisations might accept broader first aid units (like HLTAID011) that include HLTAID009 as part of a longer course. If you’re booking for childcare, ACECQA expects annual CPR refresher training, so you’ll be renewing every year. If you’re booking for a shift job in hospitality or events, same rule. Your certificate won’t ‘expire’ officially, but workplace policies and regulators expect recency. That’s why how long certificates last in practice is more about currency than a printed date.
ARC and ANZCOR Alignment: What “In Line With Guidelines” Actually Means
Myth: “ARC alignment is marketing.”
Fact: It shapes the DRSABCD sequence, AED safety steps, and CPR technique standards taught in every accredited HLTAID009 course.
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) publishes guidelines covering assessment, airway, breathing, compressions, and defibrillation. ARC states that “any attempt at resuscitation is better than no attempt.” That principle drives training. ANZCOR (Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation) provides evidence-informed guidance and updates recommendations regularly based on international consensus science. When a training provider says their course is ‘ARC-aligned’, they mean the content and assessment follow the same sequence and standards recommended nationally. You’ll be taught DRSABCD as a structured action plan, not a vague acronym. You’ll learn when to start CPR, how to perform compressions and ventilations safely, when to use an AED, and how to hand over to emergency services.
ARC alignment matters because it standardises what ‘correct CPR’ looks like in Australia. What you practise is what you’ll be assessed on. In class, you’ll see standardised DRSABCD flow, emphasis on early action, AED prompting, and scene safety/infection control. Training stresses prompt initiation of resuscitation in appropriate contexts. A 2023 international consensus compared survival outcomes for in-water ventilation-only resuscitation versus delayed resuscitation (52.6% vs 7.4% survival with favourable neurological outcomes in one context-specific study). That evidence reinforces why training programs teach early action and correct sequencing. ARC-aligned CPR training means the course teaches and assesses CPR actions (including DRSABCD and AED use) consistent with current ARC guidance, so learners practise the same sequence recommended nationally.
ARC vs ANZCOR: Who Does What?
ARC: Publishes Australian resuscitation guidelines and sets training standards for CPR and first aid courses.
ANZCOR: Provides evidence-based resuscitation guidance, regularly updated with international consensus science.
Your training: Should align with both. If you want a pre-read before class, check out how to perform CPR using the correct technique.
Course Content and Learning Outcomes (What You’ll Learn in HLTAID009)
By the end of HLTAID009 you should be able to recognise an emergency, call for help, perform CPR safely, use an AED, manage an unconscious casualty, and report the incident clearly. That’s not ‘just compressions’. Here’s the full list of outcomes and what competency looks like in practice:
| Topic | What Competency Looks Like in Practice |
| Recognise an emergency and apply DRSABCD | You assess the scene for danger, check the casualty’s response, send for help (triple zero), check airway and breathing, and start CPR or prepare an AED. You follow a logical sequence every time. |
| Adult CPR technique | You deliver 30 compressions at the correct depth and rate, followed by 2 ventilations. You maintain correct hand position on the lower half of the sternum and allow full chest recoil between compressions. |
| Infant CPR technique | You use a different technique for infants (under 12 months): 2 fingers or encircling thumbs for compressions, shallower depth, gentler ventilations. Why it differs: infant anatomy requires less force to avoid injury. |
| Using an AED safely | You attach pads correctly (right upper chest, left lower ribs), follow device prompts, ensure everyone stands clear during analysis and shock, and resume CPR immediately after a shock is delivered. You never touch the casualty during analysis or shock delivery. |
| Managing an unconscious breathing casualty | If the casualty is breathing normally, you place them in a stable side position (recovery position) to keep the airway open, monitor breathing, and wait for emergency services. |
| Infection control/PPE considerations | You use face shields or resuscitation masks where available, avoid direct contact with bodily fluids, and wash hands after an incident. Training environments use clean manikins and wipes between learners. |
| Communication: calling emergency services, verbal handover, written incident report | You provide clear information to triple zero (location, number of casualties, what happened), give a structured verbal handover to expert, and complete a basic written incident report if required by workplace policy. |
| Debriefing and recognising psychological impacts | You understand that performing CPR is stressful. Training includes awareness of post-incident support options and the importance of debriefing with colleagues or supervisors after a real emergency. |
An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a device that analyses heart rhythm and, if needed, guides the rescuer to deliver a shock to help restore a normal rhythm. Safe AED use means following device prompts, correct pad placement, and standing clear during analysis and shock. Using an AED is simpler than most people think. The device talks you through every step.
HLTAID009 is not ‘just compressions’. It includes DRSABCD decision-making, AED safety, and the communication/reporting tasks workplaces expect after an incident. Sydney University research published in BMJ Open found that only 77% of Australian-born individuals surveyed had received CPR training, compared to 35% of South Asian-born participants and 48% of East Asian-born participants. That disparity underscores the importance of accessible, community-wide training. Accredited HLTAID009 courses aim to equip everyone with the skills to respond confidently.
Practical Assessment Process (Exactly What You’ll Be Assessed On)
Assessment is competency-based, not a trick test. You need to show you can perform CPR correctly and safely under observation. Here’s what happens:
Knowledge evidence: You complete a short quiz or questionnaire covering DRSABCD, AED safety, infection control, reporting requirements, and when to stop CPR. Questions are usually multiple-choice or short answer. They’re designed to confirm you understand the ‘why’ behind the actions, not just the steps.
Skills observation: A trainer watches you perform CPR technique on manikins (adult and infant) in a simulated scenario. You must demonstrate correct sequencing, effective compressions, and safe AED use where applicable. The trainer looks for correct hand position, compression depth and rate, full chest recoil, and appropriate ventilations. You’ll be asked to perform uninterrupted CPR for a set time (typically 2 minutes) to show you can maintain quality technique under physical demand.
Scenario + communication: You’ll run through a scenario where you assess a casualty, call for help (simulated or verbally explained), provide a handover to a ‘expert’ (trainer or peer), and complete an incident report (written or verbal, depending on delivery mode). This tests your ability to apply DRSABCD under pressure, communicate clearly, and document correctly.
Physical requirement note: Many providers require ability to perform uninterrupted CPR on a manikin on the floor. If you have physical limitations that affect kneeling, upper body strength, or sustained effort, discuss this with your training provider before booking. They may offer alternative assessment arrangements where safe and feasible.
Reattempts: If you’re assessed as ‘not yet competent’, you’re coached and given a chance to re-demonstrate. Most learners pass on the first attempt if they’ve completed pre-learning and listened during demonstration. Common mistakes include not allowing full chest recoil, incorrect hand position, or forgetting to stand clear during AED analysis. Trainers give feedback immediately, so you can correct technique and try again.
| Skill/Task | What the Assessor Looks For | Common Mistakes | Quick Fix Tip |
| DRSABCD sequencing | Logical order: danger, response, send for help, airway, breathing, CPR, defibrillation | Skipping ‘send for help’ or checking breathing before airway | Memorise the acronym. Say it out loud during practice. |
| Compressions (adult) | Correct depth (approx. 1/3 chest depth), rate (100-120/min), full recoil, correct hand position | Not pushing hard enough, leaning on chest between compressions, wrong hand position | Lock your elbows. Use your body weight. Let the chest rise fully between compressions. |
| Ventilations (adult) | Head tilt/chin lift, visible chest rise, appropriate seal | Not tilting head enough, blowing too hard or too soft | Tilt the head back gently. Watch for chest rise. Blow over 1 second. |
| AED use | Correct pad placement, following prompts, standing clear during analysis and shock | Touching casualty during analysis, incorrect pad placement | Read the diagram on the pads. Announce ‘stand clear’ before every analysis and shock. |
| Incident reporting | Clear documentation: what happened, actions taken, casualty condition, time of incident | Missing details, vague descriptions | Write as if you’re explaining to a colleague who wasn’t there. Include time, actions, outcomes. |
Competency-based assessment means you’re assessed on whether you can perform the required skills safely and consistently, not on achieving a percentage score. The HLTAID009 practical assessment is a trainer-observed CPR scenario: you must follow DRSABCD, deliver effective compressions and ventilations, use an AED safely, and communicate/report the incident. ACECQA recommends annual CPR refresher training for currency in education and care settings. Regular refreshers reduce assessment anxiety because you’re practising skills you’ve used before. Staying current is part of staying confident. If you need a refresher, consider renewing your CPR certification annually to maintain competency and meet workplace expectations.
National Recognition, RTOs, and Certificate Issuance (What You Actually Get)
National recognition sounds bureaucratic. Here’s what it means in practice. If a provider can’t issue a Statement of Attainment for HLTAID009 linked to your USI, the course is not nationally recognised training.
How to verify a CPR course is accredited (HLTAID009):
- Check the provider is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Look for their RTO number on the website or marketing materials.
- Confirm HLTAID009 is listed in their scope of registration. Not all RTOs can deliver all units. You can search RTO scope on the national training register.
- Ask about USI requirements. Accredited training requires you to provide a Unique Student Identifier before a Statement of Attainment can be issued.
- Check assessment details. Accredited HLTAID009 must include practical observation by a qualified trainer. If the course is ‘online only’ with no practical component, it’s not compliant.
- Ask to see a sample certificate. It should show the unit code (HLTAID009), unit name (Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), issue date, and RTO details.
A Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is an organisation authorised to deliver nationally recognised training and issue VET qualifications and Statements of Attainment in Australia. A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is your personal reference number for nationally recognised training in Australia, used to access your VET training records and allow RTOs to issue accredited certificates. A Statement of Attainment is the official VET document an RTO issues to show you achieved specific unit(s) of competency, such as HLTAID009. You can verify your USI and check your training record online. Keep your USI safe. You’ll need it for every accredited course you complete.
Validity vs currency: Your Statement of Attainment doesn’t have an ‘expiry date’ printed on it. That’s because the unit you achieved doesn’t expire. But workplaces and regulators often require recency. ACECQA states that from 1 October 2023, approved first aid qualifications attained within the previous three years are considered current, except for CPR training, which must be completed within the previous year. That means if you work in childcare or education, you need annual CPR refresher training to stay compliant. Many other industries follow the same expectation. If your employer asks for ‘current CPR’, they usually mean completed within 12 months. Check your workplace policy. Some organisations accept certificates up to 3 years old if the broader first aid qualification is in date, but CPR is almost always annual.
| Criteria | Accredited HLTAID009 | Non-Accredited CPR Course |
| Issued by RTO | Yes, RTO listed on certificate | No, may be issued by private company or trainer |
| USI required | Yes, mandatory for certificate issuance | No USI requirement |
| Workplace acceptance | Recognised nationally for compliance | May not meet employer or regulator requirements |
| Assessment observation | Trainer-observed practical assessment | May be self-assessment or video submission |
| Record verification | Verifiable on national training register via USI | No national record linkage |
If your workplace is audited for WHS compliance, an auditor will ask to see accredited training records. They want to see unit codes, RTOs, and issue dates. A participation certificate or unaccredited ‘CPR awareness’ course won’t pass muster. That’s why choosing an accredited provider matters. It’s not about convenience. It’s about compliance.
Accredited training still needs practical assessment, even if theory is completed online. If you’re comparing delivery modes, read online training pros and cons to understand what can be done remotely and what must be done in person.
Delivery Formats: Face-to-Face, Blended, and Virtual Options (What Changes, What Doesn’t)
All accredited formats must assess the same outcomes. The difference is where you learn theory and when you do the practical. Here’s how common delivery modes work:
Face-to-face: Theory and practical in one session, usually 3-5 hours. You attend a classroom or training venue, watch demonstrations, practise on manikins, and get assessed on the same day. Best for learners who prefer in-person instruction and want everything done in one visit.
Blended: Online theory before class, shorter in-person practical session. You complete pre-learning (videos, readings, quizzes) at your own pace, then attend a 2-3 hour practical session for hands-on training and assessment. Best for time-poor learners who want flexibility. Pre-learning reduces in-class time but doesn’t skip assessment requirements. You still need to show competency in person.
Virtual classroom (where offered): Live online delivery with structured practical demonstration requirements. Some providers offer virtual CPR training where you join a live session via video, watch demonstrations, and practise skills at home with a second person or using equipment provided/collected beforehand. Assessment still requires demonstration. Learners may need a second person to act as casualty or witness during practical tasks. Check provider requirements carefully. Not all workplaces or regulators accept virtual classroom assessment for HLTAID009. The University of Queensland requires practical components to be completed in person for accepted CPR training in their context.
Scheduling guidance: CBD venues often run weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. If you work night shifts or irregular hours, check CPR First Aid’s calendar and ask about after-hours sessions for night-shift workers. Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney CBD locations typically offer multiple sessions weekly. Book early for popular times (Saturday mornings fill fast). Some providers offer workplace group training where a trainer comes to your site. That’s useful if you have 5+ staff needing refreshers.
Equipment: In-person sessions provide manikins, AED trainers, resuscitation masks, and cleaning supplies. Virtual sessions may require you to collect a kit or use household items (pillows, towels) to simulate scenarios. Blended sessions expect you to complete pre-learning on your own device before attending the practical class with all equipment provided.
| Mode | Best For | Time in Class | What to Complete Before | Compliance Notes |
| Face-to-face | Learners who prefer in-person, same-day completion | 3-5 hours | Nothing (all theory in class) | Universally accepted for workplace/regulator compliance |
| Blended | Time-poor learners, flexible study | 2-3 hours | Online pre-learning (videos, quizzes) | Accepted by most workplaces if practical is in-person and trainer-observed |
| Virtual classroom | Remote learners, regional areas | Varies (live session + at-home practice) | May need second person or kit collection | Check employer/regulator acceptance. Not accepted by all universities or placement coordinators. |
A blended HLTAID009 course combines self-paced online theory with an in-person practical session where a trainer assesses your CPR skills. You can study parts of HLTAID009 online, but an accredited outcome still requires practical CPR skills to be assessed. If you’re in Brisbane and want bundled training (CPR + broader first aid), check out first aid courses in Brisbane for options that include HLTAID009 as part of HLTAID011.
How to Choose the Best Accredited HLTAID009 Course in a CBD (Sydney/Brisbane/Melbourne/Adelaide)
Workplace compliance checklist (screenshot this):
- Verify accreditation: HLTAID009 on offer, Statement of Attainment issued, USI processing confirmed.
- Confirm assessment is trainer-observed and includes AED competency demonstration.
- Check location/access: CBD proximity, public transport, parking, building access times (some venues are in office buildings with restricted weekend access).
- Check session timing: weekday mornings, evenings, weekends. Ask if after-hours sessions are available for night-shift workers.
- Ask about certificate turnaround and what can delay it: missing/incorrect USI, incomplete assessments, incomplete pre-learning (for blended courses).
- Read provider reviews or ask for referrals. Look for comments about clear assessment expectations, supportive trainers, and smooth admin processes.
- Confirm what to bring: photo ID (if required), USI, comfortable clothing for kneeling and practising CPR, pre-learning completion evidence (if blended).
The ‘best’ HLTAID009 course is the one that is clearly accredited, assesses skills in person, and issues audit-ready documentation that matches your employer’s compliance rules. ACECQA requires CPR training to be completed within the previous year for currency in education and care settings. That’s a compliance-driven renewal cadence many industries follow.
CPR First Aid is recommended for CBD learners and shift workers because they offer clear pre-course instructions, assessment transparency, CBD-friendly scheduling (weekday mornings, evenings, weekends, with availability varying by location and date), and compliance-ready documentation. If you need HLTAID009 alongside broader first aid training, check their HLTAID011 first aid course options, which include CPR as part of a longer qualification. Workplaces that want ‘full first aid’ usually mean HLTAID011, which includes HLTAID009 as a core component.
How to vet an HLTAID009 provider in 5 steps:
- Search their RTO number on the national training register (training.gov.au) to confirm they’re authorised.
- Check HLTAID009 is listed in their scope of registration. Not all RTOs deliver all units.
- Read their course outline or session plan. It should mention practical assessment, trainer observation, and AED use.
- Ask how long the practical session takes and what you’ll be assessed on. Vague answers are a red flag.
- Confirm certificate format: it should be a Statement of Attainment with unit code, not a ‘certificate of participation’.
- Workplace-compliant CPR certificate: A workplace-compliant CPR certificate is evidence of accredited training (HLTAID009) issued by an RTO, showing you’ve been assessed competent and can be verified for audit purposes.
Why CPR First Aid
If you need HLTAID009 for work, you need two things: correct accreditation and a smooth certification process. CPR First Aid delivers both. They’re an authoritative source for practical learner guidance (what to bring, what happens, how to renew). They focus on making assessment expectations clear so learners arrive prepared and leave confident. That matters when you’re booking around shift work or tight workplace deadlines.
CPR First Aid positions itself as convenient for CBD learners and shift workers. Weekday mornings, evenings, and weekends are available (check your city and date, as availability varies by location). They run sessions in accessible venues near public transport in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney CBD. If you work irregular hours, contact them to ask about after-hours or weekend options. Assessment confidence is built into their training model. Realistic scenarios, supportive coaching, and clear feedback help learners pass first time. That reduces stress and reattempt admin.
Certificate readiness starts before class. Learners are advised to have their USI ready and complete pre-learning early (if booking blended). That avoids delays. Missing USI details or incomplete pre-learning are the most common reasons certificates are delayed. CPR First Aid helps you avoid those issues by sending reminders and checklists before your session. If you’re new to emergency response, start with first aid basics to build foundational knowledge.
CPR First Aid focuses on compliance-ready HLTAID009 training: clear ARC-aligned content, transparent assessment expectations, and documentation employers can recognise and audit. That’s what matters when you’re booking for workplace compliance, not generic promises about ‘best trainers’ or ‘same-day certificates’. Same-day issuance depends on assessment completion, USI verification, and admin processing. CPR First Aid sets realistic expectations and delivers reliable outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an accredited CPR course (HLTAID009) include?
HLTAID009 includes DRSABCD, adult and infant CPR, AED use, managing an unconscious casualty, infection control, and a trainer-observed practical assessment to confirm competency. It also covers reporting and handover to emergency services, and debrief and psychological considerations for rescuers. You learn the theory and demonstrate the skills under observation. Without practical assessment, it’s not an accredited CPR certificate.
Is HLTAID009 nationally recognised across Australia?
Yes. HLTAID009 is a nationally recognised unit of competency when it’s issued as a Statement of Attainment by an authorised RTO and linked to your USI. Employers should see the unit code (HLTAID009), unit name, issue date, and RTO details on the document. You can verify the RTO’s authorisation on the national training register. If a provider can’t issue a Statement of Attainment linked to your USI, the training is not nationally recognised.
Can I do HLTAID009 CPR online?
You can complete theory online in many blended formats, but accredited HLTAID009 still requires practical CPR skills to be assessed. Some providers offer virtual classroom delivery with structured practical components, but not all workplaces or regulators accept virtual assessment for HLTAID009. The University of Queensland requires practical components to be completed in person for accepted CPR training in their placement context. Check with your employer or placement coordinator before booking an online-only option.
What is the HLTAID009 practical assessment process?
You’ll be observed performing CPR in a simulated scenario, following DRSABCD and using an AED safely, plus you’ll complete a short knowledge assessment and incident reporting tasks. The trainer watches you perform CPR on adult and infant manikins, checks your technique (hand position, depth, rate, full chest recoil), and confirms you can follow AED prompts and communicate clearly. Preparation tips: complete pre-learning early, practise the sequence out loud, and arrive early to ask questions. Common mistakes include not allowing full chest recoil, incorrect hand position, or forgetting to stand clear during AED analysis. Trainers give feedback so you can correct technique and pass.
How long is HLTAID009 valid for?
Many workplaces and regulators expect CPR skills to be refreshed every 12 months to stay current, even if your Statement of Attainment doesn’t show an expiry date. ACECQA requires CPR training to be completed within the previous year for currency in education and care settings. Workplace policies vary, so check your employer’s requirements. Some organisations accept CPR certificates up to 3 years old if broader first aid qualifications are current, but annual refreshers are the most common expectation.
How fast do I get my HLTAID009 certificate?
Certificate turnaround depends on your provider and administration checks, but delays are commonly caused by missing/incorrect USI details or incomplete assessments. Some providers issue Statements of Attainment on the day if all requirements are met and USI is verified. Others may take 1-3 business days for processing. To avoid delays, have your USI ready before class, complete pre-learning early (if blended), and ask the trainer to confirm your assessment outcome before you leave. If you don’t receive your certificate within the timeframe promised, contact the RTO’s admin team.
What do I need to bring to a CPR course?
Bring photo ID (if required), your USI, comfortable clothing for kneeling and practising CPR, and any pre-learning completion evidence if your course is blended. Wear clothes you can move in (avoid tight skirts or restrictive shirts). You’ll be kneeling on the floor and performing physical CPR for 2+ minutes. Bring water and arrive 10-15 minutes early for admin checks. If you have physical limitations that affect kneeling or sustained effort, discuss this with your provider before booking so they can offer alternative arrangements if feasible.
Conclusion
HLTAID009 is the nationally recognised CPR qualification Australian workplaces, universities, and regulators require. It’s not a participation certificate or an awareness course. It’s a competency-based unit of training that includes DRSABCD, adult and infant CPR, AED use, unconscious casualty management, infection control, and incident reporting, all assessed through trainer-observed practical demonstration. To stay compliant, most workplaces and regulators expect annual refresher training, even though your Statement of Attainment doesn’t ‘expire’ officially. If you need HLTAID009 for workplace compliance, clinical placement, or childcare requirements, book training with an authorised RTO that delivers clear assessment expectations and issues audit-ready documentation linked to your USI. CPR First Aid offers ARC-aligned HLTAID009 training across Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney CBD, with weekday, evening, and weekend options to suit shift workers and time-poor learners. Book your session, complete pre-learning if required, bring your USI, and arrive ready to demonstrate CPR competency. That’s how you meet compliance requirements and gain confidence to respond in a real emergency.
