This Advanced Resuscitation course is delivered in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and first aid code of practice and applies to those who may be required to provide first aid, CPR and oxygen in a range of complex situations, including community and workplace settings.

Simulated real-life situations will be used to develop the skills and knowledge for using and maintaining specialised equipment for the provision of first aid, resuscitation, and oxygen therapy.

Instruction on first aid and CPR will be provided, as well as treatments specific to advanced conditions, such as inserting an appropriate basic airway adjunct, using tourniquets and haemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, and administering oxygen safely at the correct flow rate.

The course covers recording casualty condition, conveying incident details, completing workplace incident documentation, and debriefing for recognising areas for improvement, psychological impacts, and seeking help as required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy?

Advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy is a specialised level of training that goes beyond standard CPR and first aid. It covers the use of specialised resuscitation equipment including bag-valve-masks, airway adjuncts, and oxygen delivery systems, as well as managing life-threatening bleeding and administering oxygen safely at the correct flow rate.

Who is the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course suitable for?

The advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course is suited to healthcare workers, workplace first aid officers, and anyone required to provide advanced resuscitation care in community or workplace settings. It is particularly relevant for those working in environments where access to emergency services may be delayed, including remote and regional locations across the NT, SA, and WA.

Is there a prerequisite for the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course?

Yes. Participants must hold a current HLTAID011 Provide First Aid certificate before enrolling in the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course. Please note that the older HLTAID003 Provide First Aid qualification is not considered equivalent and cannot be used as a substitute for this prerequisite.

What units are included in the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course?

The advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course includes two nationally recognised units: HLTAID015 Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy, and HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

How long does the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course take?

The advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course is available in two delivery formats. The online with face-to-face assessment option requires a minimum of 3.5 hours of face-to-face contact. The fully face-to-face option requires a minimum of 6 hours.

How long is the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy certificate valid for?

Both units in the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course require annual renewal. HLTAID015 and HLTAID009 are each valid for 12 months, so you will need to renew your certificate every year to remain current.

What is the difference between CPR and advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy?

Standard CPR (HLTAID009) covers the essential skills of chest compressions, rescue breathing, and AED use. Advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy (HLTAID015) builds on this by adding the use of specialised airway equipment such as bag-valve-masks and basic airway adjuncts, as well as the safe administration of oxygen therapy and management of life-threatening bleeding.

What are the physical requirements for the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course?

Participants must have the physical capacity to perform practical demonstrations, including 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on the floor and rescue breathing techniques on manikins. The course also includes practical scenarios involving oxygen equipment and life-threatening bleed management.

Which delivery option is right for me?

If you are comfortable with computers and online learning, the online with face-to-face assessment option is a time-efficient way to complete the advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course. If you prefer hands-on, practical learning or are less confident with technology, the fully face-to-face option is recommended.

Where can I do an advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy course near me?

Redpath Education delivers advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy training in Alice Springs and across the Barkly, Central Desert, and MacDonnell Regions, as well as on the NPY Lands and Ngaanyatjarra. Workplace and on-site delivery can be arranged for organisations and groups throughout the region.
