Whether you're a parent, teacher, swim instructor, or simply someone who wants to feel prepared in an emergency, completing a First Aid course on the Sunshine Coast is one of the most valuable things you can do.
Living in a coastal community where water activities, outdoor play, and family adventures are part of everyday life, having First Aid and CPR training gives you peace of mind—and the ability to act when it matters most.
Why First Aid Training is Essential on the Sunshine Coast
On the Sunshine Coast, we’re lucky to enjoy a lifestyle that revolves around nature, water, and family. But with that comes an increased need for safety awareness and emergency readiness—especially for those caring for children or working in active environments.
Whether it's treating minor injuries, recognising signs of distress, or providing life-saving CPR, First Aid knowledge is a vital tool in our community.
Who Should Take a First Aid Course?
Parents and caregivers
Swim instructors and coaches
Early childhood educators
Lifeguards and outdoor staff
Fitness professionals and gym staff
Community volunteers
Anyone wanting to increase their emergency preparedness
Even teenagers (typically aged 14+) can begin First Aid training, which is a great step toward personal responsibility and employment readiness.
What You'll Learn in a Sunshine Coast First Aid Course
CPR (HLTAID009) – Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) – Treatment of burns, bleeding, fractures, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, choking, and more
Provide First Aid in an education and care setting (HLTAID012) – Specific for educators and those working with children
Courses are usually completed in one day or over a weekend, with both in-person and blended (online + in-person) options available on the Sunshine Coast.
