Course Overview

​

Lifesaving first aid interventions require instruction and practical training.  Especially when it relates to potentially fatal illnesses and

injuries such as those that involve cardiac arrest, 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 and be

prepared for a real-life incident.

 

This course is appropriate for people who are either employed in, or intending to become employed in, nominated occupational first aider

roles. It is delivered in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, relevant state/territory Work Health and Safety Regulatory

Authority requirements, safe work practices, and first aid code of practice. 

 

The course provides simulated real-life scenarios for a set of skills to provide advanced first aid, oxygen therapy, advanced resuscitation,

ongoing monitoring and care after treatment, handover of the casualty to emergency services and incident debriefing or evaluation to

improve future operations, address individual needs recognising psychological impacts and seeking help as required.

​

Participants learn to develop and maintain first aid action plans in consultation with relevant parties, undertake a risk assessment to

establish, maintain and facilitate the provision of appropriate first aid in a workplace environment, follow manufacturer’s instructions and

complete documentation including checklists for stocking and maintaining equipment such as resuscitation and oxygen equipment and

first aid kits.
