Advanced resuscitation skills for higher-risk environments | Canberra, ACT

Overview

This course covers the equipment-intensive end of first aid: bag-valve-mask ventilation, oxygen delivery systems, basic airway management, and two-person resuscitation. These are specialised skills that require structured, hands-on training and practical experience using the equipment correctly.

HLTAID015 is for people whose workplace or community role may require them to operate specialised resuscitation and oxygen therapy equipment. It goes well beyond standard CPR and demands a level of competency that comes from structured, hands-on training and practical experience using the equipment correctly.

Prerequisite: You must hold a current HLTAID011 — Provide First Aid before enrolling in this course.

  • Workplace first aid officers in higher-risk environments with oxygen therapy on site
  • Members of emergency response teams

  • Mining, construction, and industrial site first aiders
  • Healthcare support workers and clinic staff
  • Aged care facility first aid officers
  • Sports trainers and event medical support personnel
  • Anyone whose role requires advanced resuscitation capability beyond standard CPR

  • Manage the airway of an unconscious casualty using basic airway adjuncts
  • Provide two-person resuscitation and coordinate with a resuscitation team
  • Respond to life-threatening bleeding, including the use of tourniquets and haemostatic dressings

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 a first aid certificate before I book this course?

Yes. HLTAID015 requires a current HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid), since this course builds directly on those skills with oxygen therapy and advanced resuscitation equipment. It runs 3.5 hours face-to-face plus up to 4 hours of online pre-course learning, for $330 per person. If your HLTAID011 has lapsed, book a first aid refresher first, or check with ACTWELL about combining the two in one visit.

How often do I need to renew HLTAID015?

Every 12 months, the same recommended cycle as CPR, in line with the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice. Most people book HLTAID015 and their annual CPR refresher together in the same session. The full course runs 3.5 hours face-to-face plus up to 4 hours online, and costs $330 per person.

Who needs this course?

Anyone whose role involves oxygen therapy or advanced resuscitation equipment: workplace first aid officers in higher-risk settings, lifeguards, industrial first aiders, healthcare support workers, and sports or event medical staff. You need a current HLTAID011 before booking, since this course builds on standard first aid skills. It runs 3.5 hours face-to-face plus up to 4 hours of online pre-course learning, for $330 per person.
