Frequently Asked Questions
HLTAID009 (Provide CPR): Focuses purely on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator (AED) use. It takes about 2 hours and is usually refreshed annually.
HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid): The standard “Senior First Aid” or “Workplace First Aid” course. It includes HLTAID009 CPR plus training for trauma, sudden illness, allergic reactions, and bites.
HLTAID012 (Provide First Aid in an education and care setting): Specifically designed for educators, childcare workers, and school staff. It covers everything in HLTAID011 but includes specialized depth on pediatric emergencies, asthma, and anaphylaxis management tailored to children.
For general industries (construction, trades, NDIS, corporate offices), HLTAID011 is usually the baseline requirement. If you work in childcare, preschools, or primary schools, you will likely need HLTAID012 to meet ACECQA requirements. If your workplace just requires an annual refresher of your lifesaving skills, HLTAID009 is typically all you need. Always check with your employer or industry regulator to confirm exactly what they require.
Yes, both HLTAID011 and HLTAID012 include the full HLTAID009 CPR component. If you enrol in either of the longer first aid courses, you do not need to book a separate CPR class—it is already built into the curriculum and covered on the day.
In line with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines, your first aid certificate (HLTAID011 and HLTAID012) is valid for 3 years. However, because CPR skills degrade quickly, the CPR component (HLTAID009) must be refreshed every 12 months to keep your qualification active for workplace compliance.
Absolutely. SafeZone Training delivers fully accredited, nationally recognized training. Our courses meet all strict Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and national clinical body standards. Your statement of attainment will be valid and recognized by employers, regulators, and insurers Australia-wide.
We currently specialize in HLTAID009, HLTAID011, and HLTAID012. We are constantly expanding our curriculum to better serve our Bankstown community, and HLTAID010 (Provide an emergency first aid response in an education and care setting) will be added to our course schedule in the near future.
