First Aid Training for SCUH Staff & Kawana Waters Workers
Sunshine Coast University Hospital — 3,000+ Staff, Annual CPR Obligations
Nursing staff Allied health Emergency dept Non-clinical support Administration Pathology & imaging
AHPRA-registered practitioners — nurses, physiotherapists, dental staff, radiographers, and all other registered health professionals — must maintain annual CPR renewal (HLTAID009) to meet AHPRA continuing professional development requirements. IRFA's $40 HLTAID009 with 7AM sessions means SCUH staff can renew before their day shift begins — no leave required.
Non-clinical SCUH staff — administration, facilities, security, catering — require HLTAID011 Provide First Aid (3-yearly) under the Safe Work Australia first aid code of practice. At $90 for a 4-hour morning course, 7 minutes from SCUH, IRFA is the most practical renewal option on the coast.
For group bookings — SCUH departments, ward teams, or allied health practices in the Birtinya precinct — see our group first aid training page for volume pricing. We also deliver on-site at your Kawana premises for groups of 8 or more.
Kawana Waters encompasses the rapidly growing coastal communities of Bokarina, Birtinya, Buddina, Parrearra, and Warana — centred around Sunshine Coast University Hospital, one of Queensland's largest public hospitals, and Kawana Shopping World. The Birtinya health precinct surrounding SCUH houses dozens of specialist medical practices, allied health clinics, rehabilitation providers, and private health operators — all with their own first aid certification obligations.
For a full list of accredited first aid courses across the Sunshine Coast, see the Sunshine Coast first aid training hub. For specific compliance obligations, the workplace first aid requirements guide covers all Queensland industries.
