Overview
About This Course
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the most widely held first aid qualification in Australia. The one day class is delivered face to face by experienced trainers and includes everything in HLTAID009, plus the wider knowledge and practical skills needed to respond to common medical emergencies.
You will work through emergency scene management, primary and secondary surveys, CPR and defibrillation, anaphylaxis and asthma response, severe bleeding control, head, spinal, and limb injuries, burns, and shock. The day finishes with realistic scenarios so you can apply your learning under pressure. On successful completion you receive a Statement of Attainment that meets NDIS, aged care, education, and general workplace requirements.
