The Occupational First Aid program aims to equip participants with the skills and confidence to undertake first aid duties within an industrial environment and is designed for those in a workplace who have access to advanced first aid equipment and resources, or for those who may be expected to assume a more specific, formal first aider role during their employment.

Ideal for designated ‘senior workplace first aid officers’, persons operating first aid rooms; or all those with an Industry First Aid or Emergency Responder functions/roles.

Occupational First Aid is delivered over 40 consecutive hours (one week), and builds directly on the knowledge and skills introduced in HLTFA301B - Apply First Aid.

The program includes two units of competence, HLTFA402B - Apply advanced first aid, and HLTFA403A - Manage first aid in the workplace.

A current Apply First Aid credential (one achieved within the last 3 years), is the minimum pre-requisite entry standard.

It is anticipated those attending the Occupational First Aid program will have a ‘workable’ level of knowledge and practical first aid skills introduced and learned in the Apply First Aid program.
Because of the time constraints of this intensive course, the Occupational First Aid program does not allocate any significant amount of time reviewing the basic level first aid skills and knowledge.
