HLTAID014 vs HLTAID011 — What's the difference?
Both are nationally recognised first aid courses, but they cover very different ground.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid courses are the standard workplace first aid certificate. It includes:
- Basic life support techniques including CPR
- How to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Common injuries and illnesses
- Basic first aid, first Aid for Casualties - When Emergency Services Are On The Way
It's a good fit for low-to-medium risk work environments and is the absolute minimum first aid requirement for most general workplaces.
HLTAID014 Providing Advanced First Aid
This course really takes it up a notch. Advanced first aid training goes way beyond the basics - but you don't need a medical background to learn it. If you want to be genuinely ready for when something goes seriously wrong - rather than just ticking a box - this is the right course for you.
What Does the Advanced First Aid Course Cover?
HLTAID014 is a two-day training course that covers all the essential first aid procedures and some pretty advanced techniques. You won't just learn theory - you'll get hands-on practice in a controlled environment.
Assessment and First Aid Skills
You'll learn how to do a primary and secondary assessment of a casualty - which basically means you'll learn how to take and record some very important vital signs. This is a really critical part of making sure you get the right help to the person who needs it.
Advanced Resuscitation Techniques
You'll learn how to do CPR on someone who's not breathing, using a manikin and practice making sure you can use an AED too. We also cover using oxygen and how to get it delivered to the right person.
Protecting Airway and Breathing
You'll learn how to use gizmos and gadgets to help keep someone's airway clear and safe while also figuring out how to use a bag resuscitator.
Dealing With Injuries and Trauma
You'll learn how to deal with shock, fractures, burns and life threatening bleeding in first aid emergencies. Its a pretty long list - but we get you covered with the right techniques.
Multiple Casualty Incidents and Getting Priorities Right
For work environments that have a high risk of multiple casualties - like construction sites or large events - this is a really important skill to have. You'll learn how to figure out what needs to be done and how to get the right help to the right people.
First Aid for Medical Emergencies
The course covers a huge number of medical emergencies - from allergic reactions and heart problems to seizures & mental health emergencies. We teach you how to identify what's going on and how to respond with the correct first aid techniques.
Treating Medical Emergencies with Advanced Equipment
You get hands on training with things like suction equipment and all sorts of other gizmos. You'll learn how to use them properly and get assessed on it too.
Coordinating & Leading a First Aid Response
We teach you how to lead a first aid team - which includes everything from coordinating other first aiders to talking to emergency services and even writing up incident reports.
Who Needs Advanced First Aid in Brisbane?
HLTAID014 is the required or recommended course for all sorts of roles in community and workplaces across Brisbane. You'll need this course if you've got a job where you may have to run an advanced first aid response in a high risk or complex environment.
Construction and Infrastructure Workers
If you're working on a construction site you're at risk from injury every day - and you need to be ready. This course is often required by your WHS reps to make sure you're all ready for the unexpected.
Workplace First Aid Officers
Employers have a duty to make sure there's someone on site who can do first aid - and that usually means you, or one of your team. If you work in a high risk environment or a large workforce you'll probably need HLTAID014.
Security Personnel
Security officers in the city or at public events often deal with medical emergencies - and that's exactly why they need advanced first aid training.
Hospitality and Tourism Workers
If you work in a high traffic venue in the city - like a rooftop bar or a restaurant - you need to be prepared for an emergency. This course will get you ready.
Students & Early Career WorkersBrisbane's got a thriving student population, with heaps of students and casual workers attending QUT, UQ and Griffith University. A lot of these students and casuals need to get their hands on some recognised first aid certification for placements and jobs in childcare, aged care, disability support, fitness, security, and hospitality - and HLTAID014 is just the ticket, offering more than just the minimum requirement.
Schools, Education, and Childcare
Teachers, coaches, school staff, camp leaders and childcare workers with HLTAID014 are well-equipped to handle medical emergencies involving kids, babies, and family members - including infant resuscitation, anaphylaxis and multiple casualty incidents at schools and outside in the great outdoors.
Event and Crowd Safety Personnel
Brisbane throws some of the best events and festivals all year round - and that means we need first aid staff with some serious skills, including triage, managing multiple casualties and coordinating aid. These are all the sorts of skills that HLTAID014 can teach you.
Aged Care and Community Services Workers
Aged care and community services is a growing sector in Brisbane, and it needs workers with strong first aid capabilities on board. HLTAID014 will give aged care and community services staff the skills and confidence to manage complex medical emergencies in residential and community settings.

Certification, Renewal, and Refresher Training
What Certificate Will I Get?

- HLTAID009 CPR - renew every 12 months (Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines)
If you need to renew your certificate without repeating the whole course, refresher training is available through the FindTraining Brisbane network.
Weekend and Same-Day Certificate Courses in Brisbane
Need a weekend advanced first aid course in Brisbane? There are loads of places in the CBD, South Brisbane, Fortitude Valley and surrounding suburbs that do Saturday and Sunday sessions. Evening classes are also available if you can't make it during the week.
Lots of places even issue your same-day certificate as soon as you've done your assessment - so if you need your advanced first aid certificate for a new job, or a Workplace Health and Safety Queensland check, it's perfect.
Passing the Theory - What to Expect
HLTAID014 is a pretty meaty unit, and some people get a bit caught out by the volume of content - especially if they're doing the blended learning format and do the online theory before the face-to-face session
Here are a few tips:
- Focus on the core frameworks - DRSABCD, AVPU, primary and secondary assessment, basic triage
- Don't try to memorise everything before the practical session - it all makes a lot more sense once you're doing the hands-on work
- Assessments are scenario-based - they test what you can do, not what you can recite from memory
- Trainers in the FindTraining Brisbane network are all knowledgeable, and many are current or former paramedics
Performance evidence is all about practical demonstrations and scenario role plays - not academic exams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HLTAID014 required for construction sites in Queensland?
For high-risk workplaces in Queensland, Workplace Health and Safety recommends pushing the training level on first aid way above what you get with a standard HLTAID011.

Can I do HLTAID014 entirely online?
Sorry, not entirely. You do get to do all the theory bits online before heading out for a face-to-face session. But the hands-on stuff and doing the required performance evidence for your first aid training you have to do in person.
