HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting
The HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting
course provides practical training for workers within an education
and care setting to respond to first aid emergencies in line with
legal and workplace requirements, Australian Resuscitation Council
guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.
It teaches how to identify illness or injury, access emergency services,
safely provide first aid treatment using action plans, equipment and
resources, for CPR, defibrillation, administering an autoinjector for
anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, immobilisation for envenomation,
fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, for bleeding and shock and
other conditions.
You will learn basic anatomy, physiology and the differences between
adults, children and infants relating to CPR, managing an infant or child
with an acute illness, or who requires an immediate ambulance response and
conveying incident details to parents, caregivers and emergency services.
The course covers completing incident documentation and debriefing for
improvement of response, recognising psychological impacts, talking with
children about their emotions and seeking help as required.
This training course includes HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and
HLTAID009 Perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Purpose:
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to provide a first aid response to infants, children and adults.The unit applies to educators and support staff working within an education and care setting who are required to responde to a first aid emergency, including asthmatic and anaphyalctic emergencies. This unit of competency will contribute towards approved first aid, asthma and anaphyalxis training under the Education and Care Services National Law, and the Education and Care Services National Regulation (2011).
This unit of competency has been approved by ACECQA and meets the requirements of “First Aid, Asthma & Anaphylaxis”.

Course Details:
Blended: Complete 2 hours of unsupervised pre-course study and attend 6 hours of face to face training and assessment. Pre-Requisite:
There is no pre-requisite for this course except you must be
physically able to complete 2 minutes of CPR on the floor using a
mannikin
Certificate issued:
HLTAID004 Provide an emergency first aid response in an education
and care setting
HLTAID003 Provide first aid
HLTAID002 Provide basic emergency life support
HLTAID001 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
It is recommended this unit be renewed every 36 months in line
with industry standards. Locate the most current training package

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/child resuscitation manikin placed
on the floor. 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.
Certification: PDF emailed usually next business day

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:
1. Infant CPR
2. Adult/child CPR & defibrillation
3. Anaphylaxis & autoinjector
4. Asthma & medication
5. Written incident report
6. Choking
7. Head injury
8. Turning a casualty on his/her side
9. Bleeding control & shock
10. PIT for snake/spider bite
11. Rice for sprain
12. Bandage & sling for fracture
13. Seizure
14. Poisoning
15. Verbal reporting, debriefing and evaluating
