LVR Training Courses Melbourne

Low voltage rescue prepares you to perform rescue from a live low voltage panel and provide immediate care until professional medical help arrives. Because an electric shock can lead to cardiac arrest, LVR is commonly paired with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can act straight after the rescue.

Electrician, apprentice, solar tech or safety officer? This Melbourne guide helps you choose the right LVR training course in Melbourne option fast—then book a venue and date that fit your roster. If your ticket has lapsed, don’t stress—we’ll help you get back on site quickly and safely.

Melbourne LVR Training FAQs

Can I do LVR online?

No. LVR includes practical demonstration skills and hands-on rescue procedures that must be assessed face to face. Some theory may run as an online component to save classroom time.

Choose LVR & CPR or First Aid & LVR if you need the cardiopulmonary resuscitation/CPR course content in the same booking.

If your HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation is current, LVR Only may be fine. If CPR is due soon, book the combined LVR CPR session so both line up on the same cycle.

Make the area safe, follow DRSABCD, call emergency services, and begin basic life support steps including CPR if required. Your course rehearses this flow so you can respond effectively at the incident scene.

Yes. Expect a brief written assessment alongside your practical drills. Trainers keep it clear, job-focused and aligned to site expectations.

Yes. Group bookings are available across Greater Melbourne and regional VIC. We tailor practical scenarios to your equipment, electrical apparatus and procedures.
