Course Overview

​

This course is delivered in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and applies to all workers or members of the

community who may be required to provide CPR or advanced first aid in the event of an emergency, until the arrival of medical or

other assistance.  

 

Providing effective, lifesaving first aid interventions requires instruction and practical training.  This is especially true when it relates

to potentially fatal illnesses and injuries, such as those that require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), severe bleeding, multiple

casualty incidents etc. These situations carry a risk of further injury to the casualty and the first aider and it is imperative that training

occurs to be able to know what to do when confronted with a real-life incident.

 

This course aims to develop the skills and knowledge and most importantly the confidence, to coordinate and manage the response,

and provide advanced first aid in a challenging environment, in order to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and

promote recovery.
