Caloundra is the Sunshine Coast's southernmost major centre — a rapidly growing coastal city with a diverse economy spanning aged care, construction, healthcare, retail, tourism, and education. The suburb's waterfront lifestyle and relative affordability are driving significant residential growth, bringing thousands of new workers and families into the area annually.
For Caloundra residents and businesses, IRFA's Sippy Downs training centre — a straightforward 20-minute drive via the Sunshine Motorway — provides nationally accredited first aid and CPR training at exclusive prices. HLTAID009 CPR from $40 and HLTAID011 First Aid from $90, with sessions from 7AM and same-day certificates that are recognised in every Australian state and territory.
Caloundra has a significant retired population and a growing aged care sector. Community care workers, residential aged care staff, NDIS providers, and home care operators throughout Caloundra and surrounding areas require regular first aid and CPR renewals. IRFA's HLTAID011 and annual CPR recertification serve this sector at the lowest prices on the coast.
