There must be evidence that the candidate has completed the following tasks in line with State/Territory regulations, first aid codes of practice, first aid guidelines determined by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian national peak clinical bodies and workplace or site procedures:

• managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, breathing casualty including appropriate positioning to reduce the risk of airway compromise
• managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, non-breathing adult, including:

• performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor
• following the prompts of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to deliver at least one shock
• demonstrating a rotation of single rescuer operators with minimal interruptions to compressions
• responding appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting

• managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, non-breathing child, including:

• performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on a child resuscitation manikin placed on the floor

• managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, non-breathing infant, including:

• performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (5 cycles both compressions and ventilations) on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface

• managed casualties, with the following:

• anaphylaxis
• asthma
• non-life-threatening bleeding
• choking
• envenomation, using pressure immobilisation
• fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, using appropriate immobilisation techniques
• minor wound cleaning and dressing
• nosebleed
• shock

• responded to at least one simulated first aid incident contextualised to the candidate’s workplace or site, where the candidate has no knowledge of the casualty’s condition prior to starting treatment, including:

• identifying the casualty’s illness or injury through history, signs and symptoms
• using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as required
• providing appropriate first aid treatment
• conveying incident details to emergency services or advising casualty on any required post incident action

For more details on Learners Rights, Responsibilities and Support please refer to the student handbook.

Our main priority is ensuring our student’s feel safe while they train. To do this we have ensured the following:

Each student has their own first aid training equipment which has been sanitised prior to use.

Each student will have their own designated space, adhering to social distancing measures.

CPR rescue breaths will be simulated to ensure no contact takes place.

Hand sanitiser and gloves available at all times.

Participants must have the physical capacity to perform the practical demonstrations, such as 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on the floor.

Individuals undertaking this course will be expected to complete both written and practical assessment tasks.
