HLTAID011 - Provide First Aid
HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid is the nationally recognised certification that equips you with the knowledge and hands-on skills to respond to common emergencies. From cuts and sprains to life-threatening cardiac arrests, this is the course that builds real confidence—not just a tick on your file.
This certification is essential for:
Businesses needing compliant First Aid coverage under WHS laws.
Schools, childcare, and community services working with children or vulnerable people.
Any individual who wants to be prepared to help family, friends, or strangers in need.
Legal Requirements: It’s Not Optional
Under Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations, First Aid isn’t a ‘nice to have’. It’s a legal obligation. According to Safe Work Australia, every workplace must ensure:
Adequate numbers of trained First Aiders are present.
First Aiders hold a current HLTAID011 certificate from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Regular refreshers are attended to maintain skills.
WorkSafe guidelines state you should have:
1 First Aider per 50 workers in low-risk workplaces (offices).
1 per 25 workers in high-risk workplaces (construction, manufacturing).
1 per 10 workers in remote, high-risk workplaces (mining).
Certain industries—like education, childcare, remote services, and those handling hazardous materials—require additional, specialist training due to higher risks.
Why Does First Aid Matter?
The best workplaces invest in their people. Ensuring your team is trained in First Aid shows a commitment to wellbeing, safety, and leadership. A workplace that values health and safety is usually one that values its people.
For individuals, refreshing your skills gives you the ability to protect those around you, whether it’s at work, home, or out in the community.
Why Refresh Every 3 Years (or Sooner)?
While the HLTAID011 certificate is valid for 3 years, WorkSafe and industry best practice strongly recommend annual CPR refreshers (HLTAID009) to maintain competence in life-saving skills. Techniques evolve with updated research, and your confidence is key in an emergency.
