More About This Course
Your trainer will be either a nurse or a paramedic - there can be no better trainer than one who has "lived" the experience. As a trusted health professional, they will teach the "why" of first aid and are committed to you leaving your course with confidence and competence.

Premium Health believes every student should have their own manikin - this means there is no waiting around for "your turn". Learning is best remembered by "the doing", this means the more time you actively spend time on the manikin the greater the retention of the skill, so when you may need to recall how to do CPR, you are more able to recall and perform the skill.

Some of the topics covered in provide first aid are:

  • The DRSABCD action plan and responding to emergency situations

  • Managing unconscious casualties, infants, children and adults

  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), infants, children and adults

  • Using a defibrillator (AED)

  • Infection control

  • First aider responsibilities (home and workplace)

  • Bleeding and shock

  • Heart and respiratory conditions

  • Altered conscious states (seizures, fainting, diabetes, head injuries)

  • Anaphylaxis

  • Asthma

  • Fractures and soft tissue injuries

  • Burns, bites and stings

  • Eye injuries, crush injury, wound management, poisoning

  • Minor wound management

  • OHS/WHS legislation (First Aid Codes of Practice)



People over the age of 14 years are eligible to attend. Students attending the course will be required to demonstrate their physical ability to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor. If you are unsure of your ability to demonstrate this requirement please contact us on 1300 721 292.
