  • CPR certificates are valid for 12 months and should be renewed annually. First Aid (HLTAID011) and Childcare First Aid (HLTAID012) certificates are valid for 3 years.

  • Yes. All our accredited courses are nationally recognised across Australia and accepted by employers, regulatory bodies, and government departments.

  • We love coming to you! Book a session for 10 or more people, and we'll waive the call-out fee entirely. For groups under 10, a small travel fee applies. Get in touch with your numbers and location, and we’ll sort out the rest.

  • We issue certificates on the same day as your practical session. You won't need to wait — your certificate is ready before you leave.

  • You'll need enough floor space for participants to practise CPR, and either a TV with an HDMI connection or a blank wall for our projector.

  • Book directly through our online portal for public sessions, or submit a group enquiry form on our Contact page. You can also call 0478 886 858 or email info@firstaidready.com.au.

  • CPR practical is 60 minutes in-class. First Aid practical is 2 hours. Advanced First Aid is a full day (7 hours). Online theory components are completed at home before the practical session.
