HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

This Nationally Recognised CPR course teaches the skills and knowledge required to perform CPR in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. It applies to anyone who may be required to, or would like to be skilled to, provide CPR in the workplace, community, or at home.

CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain oxygen flow to the brain and other vital organs until advanced care is available. It is a critical skill that buys time during cardiac arrest.

Training and Assessment conducted on behalf of Vital Skills Training Pty Ltd RTO 46556.

In this CPR Course, you will learn:

• How to check for responsiveness and breathing.
• Positioning for chest compressions: Place the heel of one hand on the lower half of the sternum, and interlock your fingers to ensure proper technique.
• Compression depth: For adults, press at least 5cm deep at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
• Incorporating rescue breaths: Deliver two breaths for every 30 compressions to ensure oxygen supply.

Why CPR Training Matters

Without immediate CPR, the chances of survival for someone experiencing cardiac arrest decrease by 10% every minute. By taking our short CPR course, you can be the link that saves a life.
