HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

What is HLTAID009 – Provide CPR?

HLTAID009 is the nationally accredited unit focusing on the essential CPR techniques needed for quick response in cases of cardiac and respiratory emergencies. The course covers effective chest compressions, rescue breathing, and safe AED usage.

Who Should Complete This Course?

This training is designed for a broad range of people, including:

• General public wanting to be able to help in emergencies
• Education settings (teachers, childcare staff)
• Retail and commercial staff including workplace health and safety roles
• Industrial workers in remote or high-risk environments
• Government, law enforcement, military, and emergency service personnel

Why CPR Training Matters?

• Each year, 25,000 Australians experience cardiac arrest, but survival rates remain low—only 12% survive without immediate CPR and defibrillation.
• Performing effective bystander CPR can double or even triple survival rates.
• In Victoria, community-administered CPR more than doubled survival rates, increasing from about 5% to 12% when CPR was performed before paramedics arrived.
• More than half of Australian adults have witnessed an emergency, yet only 36% reported recent first aid training and more than half felt unprepared.
• According to Red Cross data, only ~5% of Australians are trained in first aid—a distressingly low figure.
• These statistics clearly demonstrate why enabling as many people as possible to learn CPR is vital.
