Credentials

First aid and CPR

First aid and CPR are nationally recognised certificates accepted in every state. First aid, unit HLTAID011, is renewed every three years. CPR, unit HLTAID009, is renewed every twelve months and is separate. That annual CPR renewal is the single most common reason a worker loses a shift over paperwork.

One national scheme. The rules are the same wherever you are, though you apply through your own state and the price differs.

Keeping track of it

This is one card. Most people carry four or five, each renewing on a different clock, and lose a shift when one quietly lapses. Work out which of yours runs out first, or register and we track every date and chase you before any of them turn red.
