Emergency First Response (EFR) First Aid at Work  

EFR First Aid at Work is an extensive program that covers primary and secondary care topics, including AED (detailed below). This course is specifically designed to meet the requirements of workplace health and safety training, and is an approved by various state OH&S bodies for that purpose, including Workcover NSW.

The EFR First Aid at Work course has been aligned with the Nationally Recognised Training unit of competency HLTFA301B (Apply First Aid), and a Statement of Attainment will be issued from the PADI Asia Pacific RTO upon successful completion of the program. The EFR First Aid at Work course requires renewal every three (3) years, with annual refreshment of CPR skills recommended.

We highly reccomend that participants consider the PADI Administer Emergency Oxygen distinctive specialty course which may be run concurrently with this progam.

This is a program that specifically covers the first three links of the chain of survival - early activation of EMS, early provision of CPR and early defibrillation.  Conducted over as little as 2-3 hours, this program is the perfect option for annual renewal of CPR skills, as required in many Australian workplaces, and under Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines
