The HLTAID003 Provide first aid is the most comprehensive First Aid course available and the minimum requirement for First Aid compliance across a number of industries including nursing, health care, aged care, teaching, trades and professional organisations. It is the benchmark in First Aid training as it encompasses the three core units of competency as required by the new HLT training package:

• HLTAID003 Provide first aid
• HLTAID002 Provide basic emergency life support
• HLTAID001 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation 

HLTAID003 Provide first aid replaces the requirement for Apply first aid and Senior first aid courses.

With First Aid Courses Tasmania friendly, highly experienced facilitators, your training will give you excellent in-depth practical education and experience on how to assess, manage and provide first aid. Our accredited training includes how to respond to many common medical emergencies including the treatment of Asthma, how to use the DRSABCD protocol, the use of an EpiPen for critical allergic reactions and how and when to use an AED for defibrillation. 

Upon completion of the course, you’ll be equipped with skills and confidence you need to act calmly and decisively as a first responder in a medical emergency.

USI Requirements

USI’s only need be created once, and the number generated is yours for life. So, if you are already studying at college or university it is likely that you may already have a USI that you can use.
