Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (ACT), PCBUs must ensure appropriate first aid arrangements are available for workers, including suitable first aid equipment, facilities and access to trained first aiders based on the nature of workplace hazards and risks. Safe Work Australia’s First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice provides practical guidance on meeting these obligations and determining appropriate first aid requirements for different workplaces.
AlertForce delivers nationally recognised HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training for workers across Canberra’s government and public sector, healthcare and aged care, construction, infrastructure, education, hospitality, defence and emergency services industries. Training is aligned with current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and provides the practical skills required to respond confidently during workplace emergencies.
Successful participants receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment issued by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Whether you’re seeking a first aid course Canberra employers require for compliance purposes or a CPR course Canberra workers need to maintain competency, AlertForce provides flexible training options designed to support both individuals and organisations.
For more information about workplace obligations and the benefits of first aid capability, workers and employers can also review our guides on legal first aid requirements at work, the benefits of having an AED in the workplace and why only 13 per cent of Australians currently have first aid and CPR training.

ACT Requirement
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (ACT) and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (ACT), PCBUs must ensure adequate first aid arrangements are available for workers. The Safe Work Australia First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice provides guidance on determining the number of trained first aiders, first aid facilities and equipment required based on workplace hazards and risk levels.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is commonly required across a wide range of ACT workplaces and is often a mandatory requirement for workers in childcare, early education and care settings under the Education and Care Services National Regulations. Many employers also require workers to maintain current HLTAID009 CPR competency as part of their workplace safety responsibilities.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, call us on 1800 900 222.
Is First Aid training mandatory in the ACT?
Employers must provide access to trained first aiders under WHS Regulation 42. Most workplaces require at least one trained first aid officer.
How long does the course take?
HLTAID011 requires online theory plus one full day practical session.
CPR-only sessions are shorter.
How much does the course cost?
Pricing varies depending on funding eligibility. ACT Training Fund subsidies may significantly reduce the cost.
How often should I renew CPR?
The Australian Resuscitation Council recommends renewing CPR every 12 months.
Do I need prior experience?
No. The course is suitable for beginners and those renewing their workplace certification.
Can I book training for my whole team?
Yes — group or corporate bookings are available. Many training providers can deliver onsite sessions for larger teams, tailor scheduling, or offer bulk enrolment options. Team training ensures everyone meets ACT legal requirements and follows consistent, safe work practices.
What is the ACT Training Fund and am I eligible?
The ACT Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Authority (TFA) provides subsidies for approved training undertaken by eligible employers and workers in the construction sector. You may be eligible if:
- You work for an ACT-based construction company, and
- Your employer pays the mandatory Training Fund Levy on your projects.
If eligible, your course fee may be partially reimbursed. You or your employer will need to apply for the subsidy after completing the course.
How long does a first aid certificate last in Australia?
Statements of Attainment for first aid training do not have a formal expiry date. However, industry guidance recommends renewing HLTAID011 Provide First Aid every three years and HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation every 12 months to ensure skills remain current and aligned with best practice.
Is HLTAID011 the same as Senior First Aid?
Yes. HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the current nationally recognised unit that replaced the qualification previously known as Senior First Aid. Many employers and workers still use the term Senior First Aid, but HLTAID011 is the current unit code.
Do I need a first aid certificate for my Canberra workplace?
This depends on your role, industry and employer requirements. Many ACT workplaces require designated first aiders, while some industries and occupations specify first aid qualifications as a condition of employment. Employers must ensure adequate first aid arrangements are available in accordance with workplace risks and hazards.
Can I do HLTAID011 and HLTAID009 on the same day?
Yes. HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is included within HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, and many participants complete both requirements as part of the same training pathway. AlertForce offers combined training options that allow participants to gain both competencies efficiently.
