Course Overview

This first aid course teaches the skills and knowledge needed to recognize emergencies and provide immediate and effective first aid to anyone suffering from a sudden illness or injury, in accordance with the legal, workplace, and community considerations, as well as the guidelines of the Australian Resuscitation Council and other national peak clinical bodies in Australia.

Assessing the casualty, providing safety, contacting emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as CPR and the use of a defibrillator, administering an autoinjector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, assisting someone who is choking, using appropriate immobilization techniques for envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, and managing casualties with non-life-threatening bleeding and shock. The importance of the survival chain, written and verbal reporting of event information, reviewing occurrences to enhance personal abilities and response times, recognizing psychological effects, and seeking help as required will be discussed during the study period.

This course is targeted at  students who are:

  • Seeking to commit the employer’s safety if some emergency occurs.
