Should You Do Advanced First Aid?
Still unsure whether you need HLTAID014, HLTAID011 or HLTAID015? Don't worry, we can help with that.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
HLTAID011 Provide first aid courses are the standard workplace first aid certificate. It covers:
- CPR
- AED use
- Common injuries & illnesses
- Managing a casualty until emergency services arrive
It's suitable for low to medium risk workplaces & is the minimum first aid requirement for most workplaces.
HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid
HLTAID014 Provide advanced first aid courses go way further. This advanced first aid course covers:
- Clinical assessments & vital signs
- Advanced resuscitation techniques
- Spinal injury management
- Triage for multiple casualty incidents
- Leading a coordinated first aid response. This is the right course for anyone working in high-risk industries, running massive sites or complex workplaces, and for those whose job requires leading a first aid response - not just being part of one.
HLTAID015 Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy
HLTAID015 focuses on the nitty gritty of advanced resuscitation techniques and oxygen equipment - it doesn't cover the whole scope of trauma management, triage and incident coordination that HLTAID014 does. Loads of Perth providers offer the two side by side as a combined course - a great option for workers in the resources and emergency services sectors who need both the qualifications.
Remote First Aid vs Advanced First Aid
Some Perth workers in FIFO roles or working out in rural WA wonder about the difference between remote first aid and advanced first aid. HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid is the core advanced qualification. If you work in a really remote or isolated spot, you might want to pair HLTAID014 with HLTAID013 Provide First Aid in Remote or Isolated Situations - this course covers what to do when you can't get to medical help straight away. Some Perth providers even offer combined course sets covering HLTAID013, HLTAID014, and HLTAID015 for workers on remote resources sites.
The "advanced" in HLTAID014 isn't about how tricky the stuff is to learn - it's just about the depth of the content. You don't need a medical background to do this. If you want to really be ready for serious emergencies - not just ticking the box to stay compliant - then this is the course for you.
Advanced First Aid for Mining and FIFO Workers in WA
For people looking to work in Western Australia's resources sector, Perth is the front door. For many workers checking out these pages, HLTAID014 is just a basic requirement for getting a job - not some extra training they're doing for fun.
Mine sites, oil and gas facilities, and remote construction works all across WA need workers to have HLTAID014 as a site access requirement. That's for FIFO workers, site safety officers, emergency response team members, and supervisors in high-risk roles. WorkSafe WA says that advanced first aid training is a good idea in high-risk and remote environments where you might not be able to get to a doctor in a hurry.
For FIFO workers, the online theory bit is really handy - you can do it from home or on camp before your R&R break, then just get down to the face to face practical assessment when you're in Perth and off to the site again again. Loads of Perth providers offer flexible scheduling and same-day certification, so you can get that HLTAID014 sorted in one go without missing a beat.
If a mining company or resources operator wants to train up a load of workers, onsite training across WA is available through the FindTraining network. Providers can come and do the training at your site or operational base, so you don't have to send your team all over the place.
What Does the Advanced First Aid Course Cover?
The two days of the HLTAID014 training course cover a massive range of first aid procedures and advanced first aid techniques.
Assessment and Clinical Skills
You learn to do a primary and secondary assessment on a casualty - that means taking their vital signs like pulse, blood pressure, breathing, temperature and level of consciousness. These are the first aid skills that underpin good emergency decision-making, especially in high-risk or remote places.
Advanced Resuscitation
You get to practice CPR on a non-breathing adult and non-breathing baby. You use adult and baby manikins, and even get to learn how to use an AED and how to use oxygen and resuscitation gear to keep someone alive.
Airway Management
You learn to use ancillary first aid equipment like oropharyngeal airways and suction equipment to clear and protect someone's airway when they're not conscious.
Trauma and Wound Management
Here's a list of the first aid procedures for trauma:
- Life threatening bleeding: tourniquets and wound packing
- Non life threatening bleeding
- Burns and fractures
- Spinal injuries
- Ear injuries
- Heat exhaustion and minor wounds
Multiple Casualty Incidents and Triage
You learn basic triage for when there are loads of casualties - how to assess, prioritise and run first aid on several people at once. This is a really important skill for big mine sites, construction works, public events and just any complex emergency where help is stretched.
Medical Emergencies
The course covers first aid procedures for loads of different medical emergencies:
- Anaphylaxis and asthma
- Heart problems and stroke
- Seizures and diabetic emergencies
- Mental health reactions
- People who've been affected by illicit drugs and alcohol
You learn to spot the signs of each condition and know what to do.
Incident Management & Coordination
Learning to lead a first aid team is a big part of this course. That means figuring out how to get other first aiders on board, talking to emergency services, filling out incident reports, and even learning some stress management techniques so you're ready for when the tough stuff happens.
Who Really Needs Advanced First Aid Training in Perth?
HLTAID014 is the go-to course for heaps of roles across community and work settings in Perth and around Western Australia. Let's break it down - you might need this one if you work in mining, resources, FIFO roles, or as a site safety officer - that's pretty much a requirement on most sites.
Mining, Resources, and FIFO Workers
The resources sector is a huge driver of demand for HLTAID014 here in Perth. You'll need this one to get on site at mines and oil and gas facilities - and if you're a FIFO worker, emergency response team member or site safety officer, this is a must have.
Construction and Infrastructure Workers
Perth's got a whole lot of construction happening from the CBD out to the suburbs and growth areas. Workers on big commercial builds, infrastructure projects, and civil works need to be ready for any situation - HLTAID014 is the recommended course for those on high risk sites.
Workplace First Aid Officers
WorkSafe WA says businesses need to have first aiders on site based on the risk level, how many people work there and what kind of work is being done. If you're a first aider at a high risk or big workplace - you're going to need HLTAID014 - not the other one.
Security Personnel
Security guards at shopping centres, nightlife areas, and public spaces need to handle medical emergencies. Now, many employers are looking for people with advanced first aid skills - and that's where HLTAID014 comes in.
Hospitality and Tourism Staff
You'll see a lot of medical incidents at places like restaurants, cafes and hotels - especially in high foot traffic areas like the Swan Valley and Fremantle. Having these skills gives you the confidence to handle serious situations until the paramedics get there.
Event and Crowd Safety Personnel
Perth's got all sorts of events and festivals year round - and event staff need to be able to handle medical emergencies - triage, multiple casualty incidents, the works. HLTAID014's got you covered.
Schools, Education, and Childcare
Teachers and staff with HLTAID014 can handle medical emergencies when kids are involved, including infant resuscitation, anaphylaxis and all sorts of other scenarios in education settings.
Course Format, Duration & Prerequisites
Face-To-Face Learning
- 16 hours of face time
- Usually over two days
- Good for people who prefer hands on learning
- Get the most out of your training
Blended Learning
- Do the theory online before the practical
- Minimum 6 hours in person
- Handy for FIFO workers doing theory while on R&R
- Make sure you do the online bit before heading to the face-to-face training
Entry Requirements
Most of the time you'll need to have the current HLTAID011 Provide First Aid certificate. If that's lapsed - many providers offer a combined course covering both units over two days. Oh and you need to be physically able to:
- Do two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin
- Do some practical stuff with an infant resuscitation manikin
Perth Locations & Course Times
Courses run weekly all around Perth - including West Perth, East Perth, Belmont, and all the suburbs. Prices start at $230 a head, and we've got weekend and evening sessions too. Want to do a group or corporate booking? We've got that covered too, even if it's just a handful of people.
Certification, Renewal & Refresher Training
What Certificate Will I Get?
Finish the course and you'll get a Statement of Attainment from Allens Training. Depending on your existing certificates, you might get all sorts of other nationally accredited ones thrown in - like HLTAID009, HLTAID010, and HLTAID011. That's accepted by most employers across Australia - including mine sites and construction companies in WA.
How Long Does Certification Last?
- HLTAID014 is good for 3 years
- HLTAID009 needs to be renewed every 12 months
Refresher training is available through FindTraining Perth for renewing existing aid qualifications without redoing the whole course. Weekend and Same-Day Certificate Courses in Perth
Need a weekend advanced first aid course in Perth ? Providers all over the place in West Perth, Belmont, Osborne Park, and down in the southern corridor run Saturday and Sunday sessions - lots of options for people who can't get to anything during the week because of work.
A lot of providers slap your same-day certificate on you as soon as you've done your assessment - which is a real lifesaver for FIFO workers needing to get their HLTAID014 sorted before heading back out to site, or for workers just starting a new job with some pretty tight compliance requirements kicking in pretty quickly.
Passing the Theory — What to Expect
People often get caught out by the amount of content in HLTAID014, especially when it's in a blended learning format and you do the online theory bits before the face to face session.
Here are a few things that help:
- Focus on the core stuff - DRSABCD, AVPU, how to do a primary and secondary assessment, basic triage - that sort of thing.
- Don't try to memorise the whole lot before the practical session - it all makes heaps more sense once you're actually doing the hands-on work.
- Assessments are scenario-based - so it's more about what you can do in different situations rather than just spouting off what you've read.
- Trainers in the FindTraining Perth network are the real deal - lots of them are current or former paramedics or have backgrounds in emergency response and resources sector safety.
They get you to do some practical demonstrations and role plays - not some boring old exam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HLTAID014 required for mining jobs in WA?
Yeah, a lot of mine sites and resources operations in WA require workers to have HLTAID014 as a condition of getting on site - but the rules can vary pretty wildly depending on the operation and your role.
