If you are completing a CPR or First Aid certificate from 1 January 2015 onwards, you must have your Unique Student Identification (USI) validated. If you do not have a USI, please visit www.usi.gov.au, navigate to "Create your USI," and follow the instructions. The process takes approximately 10 minutes.

Course Description

This course is certified by Australia Wide First Aid, a leading industry body. However, please note that it does not result in a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

This course provides participants with the essential knowledge and skills to effectively intervene and support individuals facing mental health challenges or crises.

This course is not intended to serve as a therapy or support session, nor is it a self-help programme for mental health concerns. Instead, it aims to provide fundamental education on recognising the signs and symptoms of mental health issues and utilising the CARE framework to assist those who may be struggling or experiencing a crisis.

We have several modes:

STANDARD COURSE
The Standard face-to-face course spans a longer duration and emphasizes comprehensive training in both skills and knowledge. It includes practical assessments, thoroughly preparing students for these evaluations on the assessment day. This course is particularly beneficial for students who need to practice their skills before participating in the practical assessments. Since First Aid training is refreshed every three years, unless students regularly engage in hands-on workplace training, we recommend opting for the standard course.

EXPRESS COURSE
The Express face-to-face course, on the other hand, is shorter in duration and focuses exclusively on practical assessments. This session does not include preparation for the assessments, as students are expected to arrive with a certain level of practical experience. Ideal for those who have previously completed a first aid course and regularly participated in hands-on workplace training, the Express course is tailored for experienced students. Any additional training needed to complete the practical assessments on the day may incur an extra fee or lead to a recommendation to attend a standard course.
