Overview
This short, nationally recognised course gives you the skills to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on an adult, child and infant, in line with current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. The ARC recommends CPR skills be refreshed every 12 months, so this is the course most people repeat each year.
The course is delivered and assessed in English, so you’ll need a basic level of written and spoken English to take part.
What you'll learn
- Recognising when CPR is needed
- Performing CPR on adults, children and infants
- Using an AED (defibrillator)
- Managing an unconscious, breathing casualty
- Following the DRSABCD action plan
Who this course is for
This course suits anyone who needs to keep their CPR certificate current, including:
- Workplace first aiders renewing annually
- Construction and trades workers
- Supervisors and site managers
- Anyone with a current First Aid certificate needing a CPR refresh
Assessment & what you'll receive
Assessment is completed through a practical demonstration of CPR skills, including a minimum of two minutes of uninterrupted CPR performed on the floor. On successful completion, participants will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Entry requirements
There are no educational entry requirements. To enrol, you’ll need to:
- Be at least 15 years old
- Have a basic level of written and spoken English
- Have the physical capability to perform CPR on the floor
- Have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). If you don’t have one, create it at usi.gov.au.

Career pathways
Maintaining a current CPR qualification supports roles where workers may be required to respond to medical emergencies or assist with workplace safety responsibilities. CPR is commonly required or preferred for construction supervisors, leading hands, workplace First Aid Officers, health and safety representatives and other roles with safety responsibilities.
CPR should be renewed every 12 months to keep your skills current. If your full first aid qualification is due for renewal (recommended every three years), consider completing the complete First Aid course instead, which includes CPR.
