Why Sunshine Coast Residents Choose IRFA
All IRFA trainers are qualified paramedics with active QAS or hospital emergency experience — not instructors reading from a manual. That professional background shows in every scenario, every session, at every Sunshine Coast course.
Pricing is fully transparent: CPR (HLTAID009) is $40 and Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) is $90 — no hidden admin fees. These are the lowest prices for accredited first aid on the Sunshine Coast. For a comprehensive local guide, see the Complete Sippy Downs First Aid Guide 2026.
First Aid Requirements on the Sunshine Coast
QLD WHS legislation requires all workplaces to maintain adequate first aid coverage. Most Sunshine Coast businesses need at least one trained first aid officer holding current HLTAID011. Full requirements are covered in IRFA's Workplace First Aid Requirements Guide 2026. For certificate renewal timelines and costs, see the First Aid Certificate Renewal page.
Sunshine Coast early childhood services require at least one educator per shift to hold HLTAID012 under ACECQA regulations. IRFA's HLTAID012 is fully ACECQA-compliant and accepted at every Sunshine Coast childcare centre and school.
CPR Renewal on the Sunshine Coast
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) recommends CPR renewal every 12 months. IRFA offers both a 7AM early morning and 9AM session at $40 — the most affordable annual CPR refresh on the Sunshine Coast. For the free CPR quick reference, see IRFA's Free CPR Quick Reference Guide 2026.
