What is HLTAID009 Provide CPR all about?
HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the nationally recognised unit for learning and demonstrating CPR skills.
CPR is an emergency procedure used when a person is unconscious and not breathing normally. It helps maintain blood flow and oxygen delivery until emergency medical services arrive or the person shows signs of recovery.
The unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform CPR in line with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. It applies to workplace and community situations.
During professional CPR training, you will learn how to:
- Recognise an emergency.
- Check for danger and protect yourself, bystanders and the casualty.
- Assess a person’s response and breathing.
- Call Triple Zero (000) and communicate the emergency clearly.
- Perform CPR on adult and infant resuscitation manikins.
- Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) trainer.
- Follow AED prompts safely.
- Respond appropriately if the casualty regurgitates or vomits.
- Continue CPR with minimal interruptions.
- Provide an accurate handover to emergency services.
- Review the incident and identify when support may be required.
The course uses realistic scenarios and practical assessment. You must demonstrate CPR skills rather than only complete a written assessment.
Yatson Training’s hands-on training environment supports practical learning without covering participants or equipment with branding.
Why complete CPR training in Albury Wodonga this week?
CPR skills are physical skills. They involve correct hand placement, body position, compression technique, rescue breaths and AED use. These skills are easier to understand when you practise them under the supervision of an experienced trainer.
Yatson Training provides interactive, hands-on First Aid training for:
- Albury and Wodonga workplaces.
- Corporate teams and small businesses.
- Sporting clubs and community groups.
- Individuals needing current CPR certification.
- Education, care and support workers.
- Participants completing annual workplace CPR refreshers.
Lead trainer Jackie Hislop is a Registered Nurse (RN) with professional medical experience. Jackie focuses on clear explanations, practical demonstrations and supervised practice. This helps you connect the course requirements with the situations you may face at work, at home or in the community.
The training is structured and professional, but it is not a dry compliance exercise. Ask questions. Practise each step. Receive feedback. Build the ability to respond safely and methodically.
What will you practise during HLTAID009?
Your session will cover the emergency response sequence commonly known as DRSABCD:
- Danger: Check that the area is safe.
- Response: Check whether the person responds.
- Send for help: Call 000 and ask someone to locate an AED.
- Airway: Open and check the airway.
- Breathing: Check for normal breathing.
- CPR: Start chest compressions and rescue breaths as trained.
- Defibrillation: Apply an AED and follow its voice and visual prompts.
You will practise on adult and infant manikins. You will also work through simulated emergencies that require communication, teamwork and decision-making.
The official HLTAID009 unit information on training.gov.au identifies practical requirements including uninterrupted CPR, AED operation, casualty management, handover to emergency services and incident review.
Practical CPR training helps you become familiar with compression technique and AED procedures.
Who should book this course?
HLTAID009 Provide CPR is relevant if you:
- Are a designated workplace first aider.
- Need to maintain current CPR skills for your job.
- Work in an office, warehouse, shop, factory, school or community setting.
- Work in health, support, education or recreation.
- Need a CPR unit for an employment or study requirement.
- Want practical CPR training for personal confidence.
- Are part of a corporate team that needs coordinated training.
Employers should review their first aid needs, workplace risks and internal policies before booking. Some workplaces require a set number of current first aiders or specific refresher arrangements.
The Safe Work Australia First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice states that CPR refresher training should be carried out annually. Full first aid qualifications are generally renewed every three years. Check your state or territory requirements, workplace procedures and certificate dates.
HLTAID009 compared with other First Aid courses
HLTAID009 focuses on CPR and AED skills. It is not the same as a complete general First Aid course.
If you need broader workplace skills, consider HLTAID011 Provide First Aid. This course covers a wider range of injuries and illnesses, including bleeding, burns, fractures, choking, shock and medical emergencies.
If you work in early childhood education or care, you may need the Childcare First Aid course HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting. Confirm the exact course requirement with your employer or registered training organisation.
Yatson Training can help you identify the most suitable course before you book. Contact the team on 0450 533 179 if you are unsure whether you need HLTAID009, HLTAID011 or HLTAID012.
Our recommendation: refresh CPR every 12 months
Do not wait until an emergency reminds you that your training has expired.
Use the following checklist:
- Check the date on your current Statement of Attainment.
- Confirm your employer’s CPR refresher policy.
- Review your workplace first aid risk assessment.
- Identify where the first aid kit and AED are located.
- Confirm who is responsible for calling 000.
- Book annual CPR training before your current skills lapse.
- Keep a record of completed training and certification.
A certificate alone does not make you ready to respond. Practise matters. You need to know how to position yourself, maintain effective compressions, use an AED and communicate with others under pressure.
Yatson Training uses realistic equipment and supervised practice to support reliable CPR skills.
