HLTAID009
Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that can lead to death.

With urgent medical care to restart the heart, survival is possible.

Quick decision making to recognise and assess a cardiac emergency, call for

medical assistance and perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) procedures

will increase the chance of survival for a person who is unconscious and not

breathing normally.

In this CPR course, you will learn these skills, in line with the

Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, including using an automated

external defibrillator (AED), how to rotate first aiders with minimal interruptions

to compressions, and what to do if the casualty regurgitates or vomits.

The course also covers conveying accurate incident details when handing the

casualty over to emergency services, how to review an incident, to recognise any

psychological impacts on self and other rescuers, to seek help if required and for

improvement of own personal skills and response times.

It is recommend that CPR skills are refreshed every 12 months.

Assessment requirements

Individuals undertaking this course will be expected to complete both written and practical assessment tasks.

Are there physical requirements for this course?

It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. The HLTAID competency standards require a level of physical ability to provide resuscitation and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. One requirement of the training package is that you are to be assessed as physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for at least 2 minutes on an adult CPR manikin placed on the floor. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.
