This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a casualty who is unconscious and not breathing normally, in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. CPR is a lifesaving technique which can sustain life until an ambulance arrives.

HLTAID010 Provide basic emergency life support

This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies, including managing the unconscious casualty, performing CPR, controlling bleeding and managing other life-threatening situations. It is suitable to both people in workplaces and members of the public who want to be able to manage an emergency first aid situation.

HLTAID011 Provide first aid

The flagship St John Ambulance first aid course covers a broad range of topics to enable participants to confidently manage emergency situations and provide a first aid response to a casualty. It is suitable to both people in workplaces and members of the public who want training in first aid.
