This course is designed to provide the knowledge and skills required by an individual to provide a first aid response to a casualty in a range of situations and to recognise and respond to situations that require the application of first aid oxygen therapy or oxygen resuscitation, as appropriate, until the arrival of medical assistance. The course can be delivered in any industry where persons may be required to provide first aid and basic oxygen therapy in an emergency situation, as part of their role at work, or in the community. 

It is designed and delivered in line with first aid guidelines determined by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.
