Having the skills, knowledge, and confidence to recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies can save a person’s life!
In this first aid course, you will learn these first aid skills in line with legal, workplace and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.

You will learn basic anatomy, physiology and the differences between adults, children and infants relating to CPR, and the importance of the chain of survival.
