First Aid Course FAQ — Melbourne

The questions we get asked most about training at our Melbourne venue.

Where is your Melbourne venue?

Level 3, 55 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. On Swanston Street in the Melbourne CBD, a short walk from Flinders Street station and Federation Square, with trams at the door.

Which suburbs do you draw students from?

Students travel to our Melbourne venue from across the Melbourne CBD, including Melbourne CBD, Southbank, Docklands, Carlton, Fitzroy, North Melbourne, Richmond, South Yarra, St Kilda and Brunswick.

How long does the course take?

CPR (HLTAID009) is 1.5 hours, First Aid (HLTAID011) is 3 hours and Childcare First Aid (HLTAID012) is 3.5 hours. Each has a short online component you complete beforehand in your own time.

When do I get my certificate?

The same day you attend the practical session. Your statement of attainment is nationally recognised and valid Australia-wide.

How long is my certificate valid?

Nationally recognised first aid certification is generally treated as current for three years, with an annual CPR refresher.

Do I need a USI?

Yes. You need a Unique Student Identifier before a nationally recognised certificate can be issued. It is free at usi help and takes a few minutes.

Which course do I need?

Most workplaces ask for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, which includes the CPR unit. Education and care settings generally need HLTAID012. If you only need a CPR refresher, HLTAID009 is the short option.

Do you price match?

Yes. If you find the same nationally recognised course cheaper, we will match it — see our price match page.

Can you train our whole team?

Yes. Get in touch through our contact page and we will arrange a session for your group.
