HLTAID011 — Provide First Aid (Bankstown)

HLTAID011 is the minimum legal requirement for workplace first aid compliance across NSW. It covers CPR, AED use, wound management, fractures, burns, anaphylaxis and asthma management, plus incident scene coordination. Completing this course certifies you across three national units: HLTAID011 (valid 36 months), HLTAID010 (valid 36 months) and HLTAID009 CPR (valid 12 months, annual renewal recommended).

HLTAID009 — Provide CPR (Bankstown)

HLTAID009 is the standalone CPR certificate, aligned with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. It covers adult, child and infant CPR, AED operation and DRSABCD. Ideal for annual CPR renewals if you already hold a current HLTAID011.

HLTAID012 is built specifically for the education and care sector. It adds infant and child CPR, anaphylaxis and asthma management, and education and care setting scenarios to the full first aid qualification.

What Happens on Your Training Day

Step 1 — Arrive ready. Bring photo ID and your Unique Student Identifier (USI). Wear comfortable clothing you can kneel in. Eat beforehand — sessions run several hours with a short break.

Step 2 — Hands-on practical training. Sessions are kept small so everyone gets real time with manikins, AED trainers and scenario props.
