Course Overview

​

This first aid course will allow you to develop skills and knowledge and most importantly, confidence, to provide first aid treatment

to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury.  You will develop the skills to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening,

and promote recovery.  It includes initial intervention in a casualty with a serious condition prior to professional medical help being

available, such as performing CPR while awaiting an ambulance, as well as the complete treatment of other less serious conditions,

such as applying water for burns, or assisting someone choking. 

 

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

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

These procedures carry a risk of further injury to the casualty and the first aider.  As with any training, it is more useful if training

occurs before being confronted with an actual real-life situation.  

​

The 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 in the event of an emergency.  

This first aid course is essential for everyday life events, allowing you to provide immediate and effective first aid to workers or others

who have been injured or become ill at the workplace or at home.
