First Aid
HLTAID011
No matter who you are, first aid training provides skills for life. Trained first aiders are able to provide safety and security in a range of emergency situations and have the skills to assist casualties until medical assistance arrives.
The Mater Education First Aid course provides comprehensive first aid training—from learning the fundamentals of common first aid, through to assessing emergency situations and administering CPR. The course is aligned with the Australian Resuscitation Guidelines and is delivered by our team of expert instructors who have built their skills working in the demanding and fast-paced hospital environment.
