Common questions

How long does CPR training take?

The face-to-face session runs about 90 minutes, with online theory completed beforehand at your own pace.

How often should I renew CPR training?

Every 12 months. The industry standard is an annual CPR refresh, even though the certificate itself does not expire.

Does this CPR course include AED or defibrillator training?

Yes. You will practise on an AED training device as part of the assessment.

Is CPR included in a first aid course?

Yes. HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and childcare first aid both include the CPR unit. This standalone course is for people keeping CPR current between full first aid renewals.

Renewal cycle

When should I renew?

This is an example renewal cycle starting from your most recent Provide First Aid course. Your specific dates will depend on when you completed each qualification. Check your certificate for your actual renewal dates.
  • INITIAL

    HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid

    You complete your Provide First Aid course. This includes HLTAID009 (CPR) and HLTAID010 (Basic Emergency Life Support) — so all three qualifications are current from this single course.

  • YEAR 1

    HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

    Your CPR qualification is recommended for annual refresh. Since your First Aid (HLTAID011) is still current at this point in the example, you only need to book the shorter CPR course this year.

  • YEAR 2

    HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

    Year two — another CPR refresh. Your First Aid is still valid for one more year, so CPR-only is all you need again.

  • YEAR 3

    Thinking of booking early?

    In this example, your First Aid renewal is just two months away. If you book CPR now as a standalone, your first aid will lapse in a matter of weeks. We recommend booking the full HLTAID011 instead — it includes CPR, so you’ll update both qualifications in one session and avoid a renewal blunder.

Renewal cycle

Childcare First Aid & CPR Renewal Cycle

  • INITIAL

    HLTAID012 – Provide First Aid in an education and care setting

    You complete your Provide First Aid in an education and care setting course. This includes HLTAID009 (CPR) and HLTAID010 (Basic Emergency Life Support) and HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid)— so all four qualifications are current from this single course.

  • YEAR 1

    HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

    Your CPR qualification is recommended for annual refresh. Since your First Aid (HLTAID012) is still current at this point in the example, you only need to book the shorter CPR course this year.

  • YEAR 2

    HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

    Year two — another CPR refresh. Your First Aid is still valid for one more year, so CPR-only is all you need again.

  • YEAR 3

    Thinking of booking early?

    In this example, your First Aid renewal is just two months away. If you book CPR now as a standalone, your first aid will lapse in a matter of weeks. We recommend booking the full HLTAID012 instead — it includes CPR and first aid, so you’ll update all your qualifications in one session and avoid a renewal blunder.

Renewal cycle

Occupational First Aid Skill Set: Renewal Timeline

  • INITIAL

    RENEW ANNUALLY – HLTSS00068 – Occupational First Aid Skill Set

    You’ve completed the full Occupational First Aid Skill Set. This includes HLTAID009, HLTAID010, HLTAID011, HLTAID014, HLTAID015 and HLTAID016 — all qualifications are current from today’s date.

  • YEAR 1

    HLTAID009 and HLTAID015 due

    Both HLTAID009 (CPR) and HLTAID015 (Advanced Resuscitation & Oxygen Therapy) are recommended for annual refresh. These can usually be completed together in a single session. Your HLTAID011, HLTAID014 and HLTAID016 qualifications remain current.

  • YEAR 2

    HLTAID009 and HLTAID015 due

    HLTAID009 and HLTAID015 are due again. Same as last year — book both together to stay current. Your three-year qualifications are still valid for one more year.

  • YEAR 3

    Thinking of Booking Just CPR and Advanced Resus?

    Your full Occupational First Aid renewal is coming up soon. If you book CPR and Advanced Resuscitation now as standalone courses, the rest of your qualifications will lapse in a matter of weeks. We recommend booking the full HLTSS00068 instead — it includes CPR, Advanced Resuscitation and everything else, so you’ll update all seven qualifications in one session and avoid a renewal blunder.

Common Questions

Before you book

Do I need to renew my CPR every year?

Yes. HLTAID009 carries a 12-month recommended refresher cycle, in line with the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice for first aid in the workplace. If you also hold HLTAID011, HLTAID012, HLTAID014 or another full first aid qualification, that certificate is recommended for renewal every three years, so most people book this stand-alone CPR course in the years between full first aid renewals to keep their CPR skills current.

I already have my first aid certificate. Can I just do the CPR part?

Yes. HLTAID009 is built for exactly that: 90 minutes face-to-face plus up to 1.5 hours of online pre-course learning, so you can refresh your CPR skills without repeating a full first aid course. It suits anyone whose CPR recommendation has come up for renewal while their broader first aid qualification, such as HLTAID011 or HLTAID012, still has time left on its three-year cycle. The course costs $105 per person and runs at ACTWELL’s Fyshwick facility or on request for private groups.

How long until I get my certificate?

Certificates are issued by Allens Training Pty Ltd (RTO 90909) and usually land in your inbox within one to three business days of completing the course, often within 24 hours. If it has not arrived after a few days, check your junk or spam folder first, then get in touch with ACTWELL so we can resend it.
