Provide First Aid (formerly Apply First Aid) is the minimum required first aid qualification required in most workplaces.
On successful completion of this course you will receive the Provide First Aid certificate, a nationally recognised VET qualification valid for 3 years. This course and your certificate include 3 units of competency:
- HLTAID 009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
- HLTAID 010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support
- HLTAID 011 Provide First Aid
Any questions give me a call or send a text or email.
In this course you’ll learn to provide emergency first aid to casualties of sudden injury and illness following an easily memorised action plan.
This includes bandaging for bleeds, fractures and snakebite, asthma management, anaphylaxis treatment (using an Epipen), bites and stings, infection control, muscle injuries, CPR (baby, child and adult), heat & cold induced illness, altered conscious states and several scenarios covering choking, electrocution, burns and amputation as well as a practice ambulance call-out and exposure to defibrillators.

If someone is having all symptoms of Asthma but is not prescribed a puffer are they allowed to be given a puffer (Ventolin)?
Yes, anyone can use an asthma puffer, you can purchase Ventolin over the counter with no prescription. Ventolin is a very safe drug for anyone to use and the puffer treatment that is given by the ambulance in these cases is 250 times stronger than the Ventolin puffer.
Is there any latex in the manikins?
Resuscitation manikins are latex free.
