Workplace first aid requirements vary depending on the industry, hazards, and number of workers. Under WHS legislation, workplaces must ensure workers have access to:

  • first aid equipment and facilities
  • trained first aiders
  • appropriate emergency response procedures

Yes. Surf Life Saving WA delivers nationally recognised first aid training through RTO 51104, including:

  • HLTAID009 Provide CPR
  • HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
  • HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting

There is currently no general law requiring workplaces to have an AED. However, AEDs are strongly recommended as part of workplace emergency preparedness and can significantly improve survival outcomes in cardiac arrest emergencies.

Successful participants receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid. While the qualification itself does not expire, first aid refresher training is commonly completed every 3 years. Many workplaces also require the CPR component (HLTAID009) to be refreshed annually.

Face-to-face courses are generally completed in approximately 6 hours, including theory and practical assessment activities. Blended delivery courses, with online learning completed beforehand, generally take approximately 4.5 hours face-to-face.

Surf Life Saving WA can deliver first aid training at your workplace, school, club or organisation at a suitable time and location. We also offer regular public first aid courses at selected Perth metropolitan training venues.

First aid training helps workers respond confidently in emergencies such as cardiac arrest, choking, breathing difficulties, allergic reactions and injuries while waiting for emergency services. Workplace first aid training can also support safer workplaces, faster emergency response and improved staff confidence.
