HLTAID009 covers ARC-aligned CPR knowledge, hazard and risk control, infection control and barrier devices, legal and workplace responsibilities, AED use and emergency communication for adult, child and infant CPR.
ARC guidelines direct recognition of cardiac arrest, CPR rate/ratio/depth, recovery position, choking care and AED use to ensure best-practice resuscitation.
Survey the scene, identify dangers like traffic, electricity, sharps and aggression, apply controls and only approach when safe.
Use standard precautions: hand hygiene, gloves and resuscitation barrier device for breaths; dispose of contaminated items per procedure.
Refresh CPR annually as recommended, practice regularly and follow ARC updates and workplace drills.
They provide practical guidance for training, equipment, facilities and procedures to meet workplace first aid obligations.
Follow emergency response plans, incident reporting, PPE and infection control, AED location/readiness and handover processes.
Act reasonably within your training, prioritise safety and provide timely assistance without negligence.
Staying within scope reduces risk; call for help early and use available resources when advanced care is needed.
Gain consent from conscious adults; consent is implied for unconscious casualties or where the person cannot consent.
Share only necessary information with authorised responders and store records securely per policy and law.
Use debriefs, peer support, EAP and self-care; seek professional support if symptoms persist.
Use head-tilt chin-lift for adults/children and neutral head position for infants to optimise airway patency.
Stop when signs of life return, a professional takes over, the scene becomes unsafe or you are physically unable to continue.
Turn it on, follow prompts, attach pads to a bare chest, stand clear for analysis/shock and resume compressions immediately.
Check pad and battery expiry, run self-tests per manufacturer and keep the AED accessible with clear signage.
Early recognition and call for help, early CPR, early defibrillation and advanced care—each step boosts survival from cardiac arrest.
Dial 000, use speakerphone, provide exact location/landmarks and follow dispatcher instructions (Emergency+ app can share GPS).
Check response, open airway and look, listen and feel; agonal gasps are not normal breathing—start CPR.
Aim for 100–120 compressions per minute, 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio and a depth of one-third of the chest.
Centre of the chest on the lower half of the sternum; use two hands for adults, one or two for children and two fingers for infants.
Airway size, chest compliance and lung volumes vary—adjust hand position, depth and ventilation volumes for children and infants.
If you cannot give breaths or are untrained/unwilling to ventilate, perform compression-only CPR at 100–120 per minute.
At minimum use gloves and a resuscitation barrier device for breaths to reduce infection risk.
