HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid

About this course

Challenging situations, such as multiple casualty incidents, having to move or extricate casualties, or treating potentially fatal illnesses and injuries are high risk. It is imperative that training occurs to be able to know what to do when confronted with a real-life incident.

This course provides practical simulated real-life situations to learn and gain the confidence to coordinate and manage a response and provide advanced first aid in line with legal, community, and workplace considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, and other Australian national peak clinical bodies until emergency services arrive. 

Instruction on basic first aid and CPR will be provided, as well as treatments specific to advanced conditions, such as hypothermia or hyperthermia, head, neck, and spinal injuries, using tourniquets and hemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, and managing a casualty in shock.

The course covers recording casualty conditions, completing workplace incident documentation, and debriefing for recognising areas for improvement, psychological impacts, and seeking help as required.
