In this first aid course, you'll receive thoughtful instruction and hands-on training that takes into account legal, workplace, and community considerations, along with the guidelines from the Australian Resuscitation Council and other national clinical bodies. You'll learn the essential skills and knowledge needed to recognize emergencies and provide immediate, effective first aid to anyone facing a sudden illness or injury.

We’ll cover important topics such as assessing the situation, ensuring safety, contacting emergency services, and utilising resources to deliver first aid. You’ll gain confidence in performing CPR, using a defibrillator, administering an auto-injector for anaphylaxis, providing asthma medication, assisting someone who is choking, and applying appropriate immobilisation techniques for conditions like envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains.
