HLTAID014 – Provide Advanced First Aid

Advanced first aid for higher-risk environments, Canberra ACT

The advanced first aid course for higher-risk workplaces

An advanced first aid course for higher-risk workplaces where a standard qualification may not be enough. HLTAID014 builds on HLTAID011 to prepare you for complex incidents, including multi-casualty scenarios, advanced haemorrhage control and coordinating a first aid response across a worksite.

Some workplaces carry risks that a standard first aid qualification does not fully address. Construction sites, industrial facilities, events, and other higher-risk environments can produce incidents that are more complex, involve multiple casualties, or require a coordinated first aid response across a larger area.

HLTAID014 builds on the HLTAID011 qualification and takes your capability further. You will train in advanced haemorrhage control, multi-casualty triage, spinal management, and the coordination skills needed to lead a first aid response when a situation escalates beyond a single patient.

This course is delivered by emergency service professionals with direct experience in higher risk environments and techniques and shapes how we deliver our courses.

What is included

On successful completion, you will receive the following nationally recognised qualifications:

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.

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

What is the difference between HLTAID011 and HLTAID014?

HLTAID014 builds on standard first aid with advanced bleeding control, multi-casualty triage and leading a first aid response when more than one casualty is involved. It suits higher-risk sites such as construction, manufacturing and industrial facilities. The course runs 6 hours face-to-face plus up to 6 hours online, for $395 per person, and awards HLTAID009, HLTAID010, HLTAID011 and HLTAID014 all in one qualification.

Do I need to hold HLTAID011 before I can book this course?

No. HLTAID014 includes HLTAID009, HLTAID010 and HLTAID011 within the one course, so you do not need a current first aid certificate before enrolling. The full qualification is recommended for renewal every three years, with an annual CPR refresher recommended in between, in line with the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice. The course runs 6 hours face-to-face plus up to 6 hours online.

Who typically books this course?

Designated first aid officers, team leaders with first aid responsibilities, and anyone working in a higher-risk environment where a single-casualty response is not enough. It is the step up from HLTAID011 for larger or more complex sites, and covers leading a response when several people need help at once. The course costs $395 per person and runs across 6 hours face-to-face plus up to 6 hours of online pre-course learning.
