HLTAID009 gives you the skills to respond when someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally. You'll practise CPR on adult and infant manikins and use an automated external defibrillator (AED), following current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. It's the course most workplaces ask for every 12 months.
Who it's for
Workplace first aiders doing their yearly CPR refresher, fitness and sport staff, carers, and anyone who wants to be ready to help.
What you'll learn
- The DRSABCD action plan
- CPR on adults, children and infants
- Using an AED safely
- Managing an unconscious, breathing casualty (recovery position)
- Reporting the incident and debriefing afterwards
What to bring
Photo ID and comfortable clothes for kneeling on the floor.
Entry requirements
You must be able to perform 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on a manikin on the floor. This is part of the unit's assessment requirements.
