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.
The HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation courses provide nationally recognised training in emergency response, casualty management and life-saving procedures required to meet workplace compliance obligations. Participants learn how to assess emergency situations, provide first aid treatment, perform CPR in accordance with current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and respond appropriately to a range of workplace incidents and medical emergencies.

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.
