HLTAID009 Provide CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)
This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a casualty who is unconscious and not breathing normally, in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.
CPR is a lifesaving technique which can sustain life until an ambulance arrives. You will gain the knowledge and confidence to perform CPR on an adult, child and infant, to describe alternative methods for delivering rescue breaths and how to manage a victim of drowning.

The Code of Practice recommends that refresher training in CPR should be carried out annually (12 months) and first aid qualifications should be renewed every three (3) years.
