Course Description

HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid – is a nationally recognised unit designed to equip individuals with the essential skills and knowledge needed to provide a first aid response in a variety of situations. This comprehensive training covers the practical techniques required to manage medical emergencies such as injuries, illnesses, and accidents, offering participants the confidence to act promptly and effectively when first aid is needed. The course includes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice to ensure learners are fully prepared to handle real-life emergency situations.

Throughout the course, participants will learn how to assess the scene of an emergency, manage casualties, and administer life-saving procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and treat wounds, burns, and fractures. The unit also covers first aid for common conditions like allergic reactions, asthma, and shock, alongside the proper care for bleeding, sprains, and other injuries. Participants will follow the DRSABCD action plan, which ensures a structured and safe approach to first aid responses.

HLTAID011 is suitable for individuals in a wide range of settings, including workplaces, schools, sports organisations, and community groups, as well as for anyone who wants to be prepared to respond to emergencies in everyday life. Upon completion, learners will be confident in applying first aid techniques in line with the guidelines set by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other relevant bodies.

As a key requirement for many workplace health and safety standards, this unit provides valuable, potentially life-saving skills that are applicable across all sectors. With HLTAID011 certification, individuals are equipped to make a meaningful difference in emergency situations, both professionally and within the community.
