Provide First Aid

HLTAID011 (includes CPR)

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.

Note: CPR is included in this First Aid course, therefore you do not need to enrol in both programs. Click here to enrol in CPR only.

Who should attend?

Our First Aid course is designed for anyone requiring a First Aid certificate for employment or seeking first-aid knowledge. This includes first-aid organisation personnel, community organisation members, teachers, educators, parents and students.
