HLTAID011 - Provide First Aid

HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid is the nationally recognised certification that equips you with the knowledge and hands-on skills to respond to common emergencies.

From cuts and sprains to life-threatening cardiac arrests, this is the course that builds real confidence, not just a tick on your file.

This certification is essential for:

✅Businesses needing compliant First Aid coverage under WHS laws.

✅Schools, childcare, and community services working with children or vulnerable people.

✅Any individual who wants to be prepared to help family, friends, or strangers in need.

Why CPR matters

Early CPR buys the person time until help arrives.

CPR supports circulation and gives someone a fighting chance at survival.

Regular CPR training helps you override panic and follow a simple plan.

Protects your Workplace, Family, Friends and Community.

Enhance your resume, many roles require current CPR for Workplace Safety Compliance.

Focus on the reality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and the need for auto-pilot actions, also known as muscle memory that you can use under pressure.

Attend our Memorable, practical and realistic training.

When the heart or breathing stops, every second counts.

Effective CPR keeps oxygenated blood moving to the brain and vital organs until a defibrillator or paramedics arrive.

Early action from a bystander can be the difference between life and loss, at home, work, or in the community.

CPR is about survival, not always in the way you might think.

"When people understand the ‘why’ behind what they’re learning, the skills stay with them for life."

Why Does First Aid Matter?

The best workplaces invest in their people.

Ensuring your team is trained in First Aid shows a commitment to wellbeing, safety, and leadership.

A workplace that values health and safety is usually one that values its people.

For individuals, refreshing your skills gives you the ability to protect those around you, whether it’s at work, home, or out in the community.

Legal Requirements: It’s Not Optional

Under Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations, First Aid isn’t just nice to have, it’s a legal obligation.

According to Safe Work Australia, every workplace must ensure:

✅Adequate numbers of trained First Aiders are present.

✅First Aiders hold at a minimum, a current HLTAID011 certificate from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

✅Regular refreshers are attended to maintain skills.

WorkSafe guidelines state you should have:

✅1 First Aider per 50 workers in low-risk workplaces (offices).

✅1 per 25 workers in high-risk workplaces (construction, manufacturing).

✅1 per 10 workers in remote, high-risk workplaces (mining).

Certain industries such as education, childcare, remote services, and those handling hazardous materials may require additional First Aid Training due to higher risks and the Advanced First Aid HLTAID014 or Remote/Isolated Area First Aid HLTAID013 provide those additional skills.

Why Refresh Every 3 Years (or Sooner)?

While the HLTAID011 certificate is valid for 3 years, WorkSafe and industry best practice strongly recommend annual CPR refreshers (HLTAID009) to maintain competence in life-saving skills.

Techniques evolve with updated research.

Your confidence is key in an emergency.

Your HLTAID011 certification is valid for 3 years, but CPR (HLTAID009) is recommended to be refreshed every 12 months to stay current with ARC (Australian Resuscitation Council) guidelines.

What will I learn in this course?

You’ll cover CPR, bleeding control, burns, fractures, allergic reactions, asthma, seizures, strokes, bites and stings, heat and cold emergencies, legal responsibilities, and more. It’s a thorough course that gives you practical skills for real-world emergencies.

Do I need to complete any pre-work?

Yes, there is a short online pre-course component to complete before the face-to-face session. This keeps the training day focused on hands-on practice.
