HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid

What is HLTAID014 – Provide Advanced First Aid?

HLTAID014 is a comprehensive national unit designed for participants who may be required to:

• Provide a higher level of first aid response in emergencies.
• Manage incidents until professional medical help arrives.
• Coordinate resources and direct others during an emergency.
• Deliver extended care for multiple casualties.

It builds upon HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid) by covering more advanced techniques, leadership responsibilities, and complex scenarios.

Who Should Complete This Course?

HLTAID014 is ideal for:

• Workplace supervisors and safety officers.
• Emergency Wardens and ESO/MESO staff.
• Construction and mining site leaders.
• Defence, police, and emergency services personnel.
• Community responders (sporting clubs, volunteer organisations).
• Remote and industrial project managers who may need to manage first aid teams.

Why Advanced First Aid is Critical

Statistics: 

• In complex emergencies, delays in professional medical response can be 20+ minutes in metro areas, and several hours in remote Australia.
• Multi-casualty incidents (vehicle accidents, industrial injuries, natural disasters) require coordination that goes beyond standard HLTAID011.
• Research shows that well-trained first aid leaders improve survival outcomes by organising effective CPR, bleeding control, and casualty management before paramedics arrive.

HLTAID014 ensures leaders are prepared to step up in critical moments.
