Entry requirements
Participants must be 14 years or older. Participants under the age of 18 are required to
provide a consent form completed by their legal guardian which can be accessed by clicking here.
There are no pre-requisites for this course however participants need to meet the minimum
physical and LLN requirements.
Physical Requirements
The HLTAID competency standards require a level of physical ability to provide first aid and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. Students are required to:
- Perform 2 minutes of CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor
- Perform 2 minutes of CPR on an infant manikin placed on the floor
- Place a patient into the recovery position
Due to the potential risk to health and safety where a nominated first aider, or worker with a duty of care, does not have the ability to perform resuscitation and/or first aid to the performance standard, it is not appropriate to issue a statement of attainment to students who are physically unable to meet the assessment requirements. FAAE are unable to make adjustments to these requirements even if the qualification is a necessary part of the learner’s employment conditions.
If you feel you will be unable to meet the physical requirements, please contact the office prior to training on 07 5520 5068 to discuss the options available to you.

First Aid faq's
Why is First Aid Important?
First Aid knowledge is extremely valuable for both you the individual and your community as it enables you to assist persons who become injured in the event of an accident or emergency situation until help arrives. First Aid skills can be applied in the home, the workplace or in public locations, thus the more First Aid certified people there are in a community the safer it becomes.
