What You Will Learn in HLTAID009

Perform CPR in accordance with the ARC guidelines

Under this course, you acquire essential skills to perform CPR on unconscious and unresponsive adults and infants, strictly following the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. Master the 30:2 compression-to-breath ratio, standard for adults and infants, and understand how to deliver effective rescue breaths, ensuring that air is properly ventilated into the lungs without causing excessive pressure.

Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

Learn to recognise when an AED is needed and how to prepare the victim before defibrillation. You’ll gain hands-on experience operating an AED, including turning it on, correctly applying electrode pads (with attention to different placements for adults and infants), and following visual and audio prompts. You'll also learn the critical importance of ensuring no one is in contact with the victim during shock delivery to prevent injury.

Responding Appropriately to Regurgitation or Vomiting During CPR

Develop the skills to effectively manage the airway if the victim regurgitates or vomits during CPR. You will learn how to quickly turn the victim onto their side (using the recovery position) to clear the airway and how to reposition them to resume compressions without delay.

Dealing with emergency services and reviewing first-aid response

In this course, you will understand how to effectively communicate with emergency services, providing a clear, concise report of the situation, including the victim’s condition and your actions. This ensures a smooth handover from first responder to medical personnel. You’ll also learn the importance of reviewing the first aid response after an incident, participating in debriefing sessions to assess the effectiveness of CPR, identifying areas for improvement, and addressing emotional and psychological impacts.

Report details of incident in line with appropriate workplace or site procedures

You will also master the protocols for accurately reporting incident details according to your workplace or site procedures. This includes recording the timeline of events, actions taken, the victim’s condition, and any use of equipment like AEDs. You’ll also gain an understanding of the legal and ethical responsibilities in documenting first aid incidents, such as maintaining confidentiality and ensuring thorough, fact-based reports—critical for any follow-up actions or investigations.
