What is HLTAID009 Provide CPR all about?
HLTAID009 Provide CPR is the nationally recognised unit that teaches you how to respond when a person is unconscious and not breathing normally.
The unit covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which uses chest compressions and rescue breaths to circulate blood and oxygen until emergency services arrive. It also covers the safe use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
The official training.gov.au unit information states that HLTAID009 applies to people who may need to provide CPR in workplace and community settings. The unit is delivered in line with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.
CPR is one part of a wider emergency response system. You must also know how to:
- Recognise an emergency.
- Check for danger.
- Assess a casualty.
- Contact emergency services.
- Use an AED.
- Communicate an accurate handover.
- Review the incident afterwards.
Hands-on CPR practice helps you build a reliable response
Why learn CPR in Albury Wodonga with Yatson Training?
A CPR course should not be a dry exercise in watching slides. You need to physically practise the skills.
Yatson Training’s interactive approach gives you time to work with adult and infant manikins, practise compressions, use an AED trainer and complete realistic scenarios. You receive guidance while you practise, so you can correct your technique before assessment.
Jackie Hislop RN brings clinical experience to the classroom. She explains what to do, why it matters and how to work safely within your level of training. The sessions are practical and straightforward.
You will practise:
- Positioning your hands correctly for chest compressions.
- Maintaining a consistent compression rhythm.
- Giving rescue breaths using appropriate infection control precautions.
- Performing CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor.
- Performing CPR on an infant manikin on a firm surface.
- Following AED prompts.
- Rotating rescuers with minimal interruptions.
- Responding appropriately if regurgitation or vomiting occurs.
- Providing a clear verbal handover to emergency services.
This practical preparation is important for Workplace Safety. In a real emergency, you may need to kneel on the floor, work around other people and use equipment under pressure.
What happens during the HLTAID009 course?
The course includes theory, demonstration, practice and assessment. Your trainer will explain the response sequence before you complete supervised scenarios.
Follow this general process when responding to a suspected cardiac arrest:
- Check for danger. Protect yourself, bystanders and the casualty.
- Check for a response. Speak to the person and gently stimulate them.
- Send for help. Direct someone to call 000 and bring an AED.
- Open the airway. Follow the method taught by your trainer.
- Check breathing. Look for normal breathing. Occasional gasping is not normal breathing.
- Start CPR. Begin compressions and ventilations according to current training guidance.
- Use the AED. Turn it on, attach the pads and follow the device prompts.
- Continue until help arrives. Stop only when directed, the casualty shows signs of life, you become unable to continue, or the area becomes unsafe.
The course assessment includes practical demonstrations. Training.gov.au specifies evidence of at least two minutes of uninterrupted single-rescuer CPR on an adult manikin and at least two minutes of CPR on an infant manikin. You must also demonstrate AED use and appropriate communication.
Understand the signs that CPR may be required
A person may require CPR if they are:
- Unresponsive when spoken to or touched.
- Not breathing normally.
- Breathing with occasional agonal gasps.
- Showing no purposeful movement.
- Experiencing a sudden collapse.
Do not delay calling 000 or starting the emergency response while trying to diagnose the exact cause. Your course teaches you how to assess the situation and act within the recognised DRSABCD process.
For current resuscitation recommendations, review the Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation (ANZCOR) guidelines. In an actual emergency, call 000 and follow the instructions of the emergency operator.
Who should book this CPR course?
This course is useful if your qualification is expiring or your workplace requires annual CPR renewal.

- A business owner or manager reviewing workplace compliance.

Our recommendation: refresh CPR every 12 months
CPR skills can decline when they are not practised. A certificate alone does not guarantee that you will feel ready to respond.
Refresh your CPR training every 12 months, as recommended by the ARC and many workplace, health, education and care settings. Check your employer’s policy, industry requirements and relevant state or territory guidance.
Also review your workplace emergency arrangements. Confirm that:
- Staff know who the first aiders are.
- First aid kits are accessible and stocked.
- AED locations are clearly identified.
- Emergency contact procedures are current.
- New staff receive suitable induction.
- First aid records are maintained appropriately.
For broader workplace guidance, refer to Safe Work Australia and your relevant state or territory workplace safety authority.
Practical training supports safer workplaces
