HLTAID013 Provide First Aid in a Remote or Isolated Area

Focus on the reality of Remote and Isolated areas that make up most of Australia, the need for auto-pilot actions, also known as muscle memory that you can use under pressure.

Manage a casualty when help is hours away.

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 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.

You can be the steady voice in chaos.

Protect your Workplace, Family, Friends and Community.

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

Help those you love, many incidents happen around home with family and friends.
