At Anzen Safety & Training, we deliver hands-on first aid courses from our Nelson Bay and Tomago training centres, supporting workplaces and individuals across Port Stephens, Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley. Our trainers bring real frontline experience from emergency and clinical settings, so you're learning practical skills from people who have actually used them.

The HLTAID010 course teaches you how to recognise and respond to medical emergencies quickly and effectively. Delivered in small, interactive sessions, this course follows Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and national standards to ensure every participant is equipped with the skills that matter most.

You'll learn to assess a casualty, ensure scene safety, call for emergency services, and provide essential first aid, including CPR, defibrillator use, and assistance for anaphylaxis, asthma, choking, bleeding and shock. The course also covers the chain of survival, key differences in anatomy and physiology for adults, children and infants, and how to communicate effectively with emergency responders. You'll also learn to review incidents, recognise psychological impacts, and seek support when needed to maintain resilience and readiness.

We also work with larger teams and corporate groups, training staff together at our Tomago facility, or on-site at your workplace. It's an efficient way to build a genuinely capable, confident team.

Gain the confidence to respond when it counts. Book your Basic Emergency Life Support course at our Nelson Bay or Tomago training centres, or get in touch about training your team.

  • HLTAID009 focuses only on CPR, while HLTAID010 also covers responding to a range of life-threatening emergencies until further help arrives.

  • It's usually specified by a particular workplace or industry requirement rather than something people choose off their own bat. If your employer hasn't told you it's this exact unit you need, double-check with them before booking. HLTAID011 is what most workplaces actually mean when they say "first aid." Or give us a call, we are more than happy to help you work out which course you need.

  • It usually comes down to a specific industry or regulatory requirement rather than general choice, some sectors are told exactly which unit code they need. If you're not certain which one applies to you, it's worth confirming with your employer or industry body before booking, since the two aren't interchangeable.
