Physical Requirements
It is important to note that there are physical standards which
relate to the level of performance required when undertaking
accredited training. The HLTAID competency standards require a
level of physical ability to provide resuscitation and respond to
an emergency situation where there may be risk to life.
One requirement of the training package is that you are to be
assessed as physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for
at least 2 minutes on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the
floor and on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm
surface.
There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government
requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package.
Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical
requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued
with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a
necessary part of their employment conditions.
Pre-requisites:
Nil
Standards: The course complies with policy advice from the Australian Resuscitation Council

ASSESSMENT – PRACTICAL
Physical demonstrations (skills)The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment. Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge.
It’s important that students have knowledge of the content of this course. The assessable practical skills are listed below.
You will be assessed on performing first aid scenario and task demonstrations for:
- Recognise an emergency and make the scene safe
- Perform CPR on an infant
- Perform CPR & defibrillation on an adult
- Assess and monitor a casualty
- Locate workplace policies and procedures
- Administer oxygen for the unconscious
