HLTAID009 PROVIDE CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (PREVIOUSLY HLTAID001)
About this Unit
This unit, previously called HLTAID001 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, teaches the skills needed to perform CPR on infants, children, and adults who are not breathing until medical help arrives. It follows the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines and is useful for anyone who might need to give CPR in various settings, like at work or in the community. The training covers how to handle a person in cardiac arrest and provides instructions on the right ratio of rescue breaths to chest compressions. Each student will practice on their own manikin to improve their technique.
Expert Instructors and Hands On Practice
Your trainer will be either a nurse or a paramedic – there can be no better trainer than one who has “lived” the experience. As a trusted health professional, they will teach the “why” of first aid and are committed to you leaving your course with confidence and competence.
Premium Health believes every student in our CPR courses should have their own manikin – this means there is no waiting around for “your turn”. Learning is best remembered by “the doing”, this means the more time you actively spend time on the manikin the greater the retention of the skill, so when you may need to recall how to do CPR you are more able to recall and perform the skill.
Our CPR training will help you manage and care for a person in a cardiac arrest and teach you the skills of life support (correct ratio of rescue breathing to chest compression’s) using the Premium Health Method.
Other topics include:
- The DRSABCD action plan and responding to emergency situations

Anyone over the age of 14 years are eligible to attend.
