Workplace First Aid Refresher Course Noosa
Keep Your Team Compliant with Annual CPR & First Aid Refresher Training | From $55
When Do You Need a First Aid Refresher?
CPR certification (HLTAID009) requires annual renewal, while Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) is valid for 3 years. However, the CPR component within HLTAID011 must be renewed annually to maintain compliance. IRFA delivers workplace first aid refresher courses throughout Noosa from just $55 for CPR renewal, with same-day digital certificates ensuring your business stays compliant with WorkSafe Queensland requirements. On-site training available for Noosa businesses with 5 or more employees.
Workplace First Aid Refresher Training in Noosa
Maintaining current first aid certification is essential for workplace compliance and emergency preparedness across Noosa businesses. Whether you operate a hotel on Hastings Street, a restaurant in Noosaville, or a childcare center in Tewantin, keeping your staff's first aid skills up to date protects your employees, customers, and business.
IRFA provides convenient workplace first aid refresher courses specifically designed for busy Noosa businesses. Our training ensures your team maintains the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in medical emergencies while keeping your workplace compliant with Queensland health and safety regulations.
Why Regular First Aid Refreshers Matter
Regular refresher training is crucial for several important reasons:
- Skills Decay: Emergency response skills diminish without practice - annual training maintains competency
- Updated Guidelines: Australian Resuscitation Council updates first aid protocols regularly
- Legal Compliance: WorkSafe Queensland requires current certification for workplace first aiders
- Confidence: Regular practice builds confidence to act quickly and correctly in emergencies
- Risk Management: Demonstrates duty of care and reduces liability for Noosa businesses
Understanding Refresher Requirements
Different first aid certifications have different renewal timeframes. Understanding what you need helps you plan training schedules for your Noosa workplace.
| Certification | Validity Period | Refresher Course | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HLTAID009 CPR | 12 months | Annual CPR renewal | 2 hours | $55 |
| HLTAID011 First Aid | 3 years (CPR component annual) | CPR annually, full refresher recommended every 1-2 years | 2-4 hours | $55-$110 |
| HLTAID012 Childcare | 3 years (CPR component annual) | CPR annually, full refresher every 3 years | 2-4 hours | $55-$110 |
Refresher vs Full Course
If your first aid certificate is still within its validity period, you only need a CPR refresher (HLTAID009) to maintain compliance. However, if your certificate has expired beyond 3 years, you must complete the full course again.
Many Noosa hospitality businesses and childcare centers choose to refresh full first aid training every 1-2 years as best practice, even though regulations allow 3 years. This ensures staff skills remain sharp and current with the latest emergency response protocols.

Hospitality & Tourism Refreshers
Noosa's premium hospitality sector demands high standards of emergency preparedness.

Our training covers hospitality-specific scenarios including guest medical emergencies, food-related allergic reactions, and poolside incidents.
Childcare & Education Refreshers
ACEQA regulations require childcare workers to maintain current HLTAID012 certification with annual CPR updates. Many Noosa childcare centers schedule full refresher training every 18-24 months to ensure staff confidence with pediatric emergencies, anaphylaxis management, and asthma response protocols.
Retail & Office Refreshers
Noosa retail spaces and office environments typically maintain smaller first aid teams. We recommend annual CPR refreshers for all designated first aiders and full first aid refreshers every 2 years to maintain competency and confidence.
Construction & Trades Refreshers
Building sites and construction projects in Noosa require current first aid certification as part of WorkSafe Queensland compliance. We provide expedited refresher training for trades workers with flexible scheduling to minimize project disruption.

Implementing a structured refresher schedule ensures your Noosa business maintains continuous compliance:

Refresher Course FAQs
CPR certification (HLTAID009) requires annual renewal. Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) is valid for 3 years, but the CPR component must be renewed annually to maintain full compliance.
Many Noosa workplaces implement best practice by refreshing full first aid training every 1-2 years rather than waiting the full 3 years. This ensures staff skills remain sharp and current with the latest emergency response protocols.
A refresher course updates and reinforces your existing first aid knowledge and skills. If your certificate is still valid (within 3 years), a CPR refresher (2 hours, $55) updates just the CPR component.
If your certificate has expired beyond 3 years, you must complete the full HLTAID011 course again (4 hours, $110) as skills and knowledge are considered to have lapsed beyond the validity period.

- Group on-site training - discounted rates for 5+ employees
All prices include same-day digital certification, training materials, and equipment use. Group discounts of 10-20% are available for workplace bookings of 5 or more staff members from the same Noosa business.
If your certificate expired less than 3 years ago, you can complete a full refresher course (HLTAID011, 4 hours) to renew your certification.
If your certificate expired more than 3 years ago, you must complete the full initial course again, as first aid skills and knowledge are considered to have significantly degraded beyond this timeframe.
We recommend booking refresher training 1-2 months before your current certificate expires to maintain continuous compliance without gaps in certification.
Yes, childcare workers can refresh HLTAID012 certification. ACEQA regulations require the CPR component to be renewed annually, with the full HLTAID012 valid for 3 years.
Many Noosa childcare centers choose to refresh full HLTAID012 training every 18-24 months to ensure staff remain confident with pediatric first aid, anaphylaxis management, and asthma emergency protocols.
Annual CPR refreshers for childcare workers cost $55, while full HLTAID012 refreshers are $110.
Course duration depends on which refresher you need:
- CPR Refresher (HLTAID009): 2 hours including hands-on practice

"We're a 45-person construction company based in Caloundra. IRFA helped us determine we needed 6 qualified first aid officers across our three active sites. They came to our yard, trained all six supervisors in one morning, and we've been WHS-compliant ever since. They remind us when renewals are due - takes all the admin headache away."

The number of first aid officers required depends on several factors: workplace size, risk level, shift patterns, site locations, and distance from emergency services.
Safe Work Australia general guidelines:
Low-Risk Workplaces (offices, retail, hospitality):
- 1-25 employees: 1 first aid officer
- 26-100 employees: 2 first aid officers

Additional considerations that increase requirements:
- Multiple shifts: Each shift needs designated first aid coverage
- Multiple sites: Each location needs first aid officers on-site
- Remote locations: Further from ambulance services = more officers needed
- Public-facing: Businesses serving customers need coverage for public emergencies
- Leave coverage: Account for holidays, sick leave, staff turnover
- Large premises: Buildings where response time >3 minutes need more officers
Construction industry specific: Most Sunshine Coast construction sites require 1 first aid officer per 25 workers, with higher ratios for remote or high-risk sites.
Childcare/Education specific: ACEQA requires at least one HLTAID012-qualified educator per service, present whenever children are being educated and cared for.
How to determine your requirements:
- Conduct a first aid needs assessment considering your specific hazards
- Review incident history and injury records

- Account for peak operational periods
- Ensure 24/7 coverage if operating outside business hours

The certification is the same (HLTAID011), but workplace first aid training includes additional context and compliance requirements:
Standard HLTAID011 covers:
- CPR and basic life support
- General emergency response
- Common injuries and medical emergencies
- DRSABCD action plan
- Assessment and treatment protocols
Workplace first aid training additionally emphasizes:
- WHS compliance: Understanding duties under Work Health and Safety Act
- Workplace-specific scenarios: Industry-relevant emergencies (construction falls, office cardiac arrest, retail customer injuries, etc.)
- Incident reporting: Proper documentation for WorkCover and compliance
- Legal obligations: Duty of care, consent, confidentiality in workplace context
- Emergency procedures: Integration with workplace evacuation and emergency plans
- Communication protocols: Reporting to management, liaising with paramedics
- First aid officer role: Responsibilities, limitations, ongoing obligations
- Equipment management: First aid kit maintenance and restocking
IRFA's workplace training includes:
- Customized scenarios based on your industry's common incidents
- Discussion of your actual workplace hazards and risks
- Review of your workplace first aid procedures (if existing)
- Guidance on first aid room/station setup requirements
- Certificate management systems for HR compliance tracking
- Ongoing support for incident reporting and policy questions
Both use the same national HLTAID011 qualification and result in identical certification. The difference is in how the training is delivered and contextualized for workplace compliance.
For Sunshine Coast businesses: Whether you attend our Sippy Downs centre or arrange on-site training, IRFA's courses meet full workplace requirements and WHS compliance standards.

- HLTAID011 (First Aid): Valid for 3 years
- HLTAID009 (CPR): Valid for 12 months only

- Insurance requirements: Many business insurance policies mandate annual CPR for designated officers

CPR renewal process (HLTAID009):
- Duration: 2 hours only (9am-11am)
- Cost: $55 per person
- Content: Updated CPR techniques, AED use, choking management
- Assessment: Practical demonstration of CPR skills
- Certificate: New HLTAID009 issued same day
Renewal tracking for workplaces:

- We send renewal reminders to HR 4-6 weeks before expiry
- Group CPR renewals can be scheduled for multiple officers together
- Minimizes admin burden of tracking individual renewal dates
Full renewal schedule for workplace officers:
- Month 0: Complete HLTAID011 (4 hours, $110)
- Month 12: CPR renewal (2 hours, $55)
- Month 24: CPR renewal (2 hours, $55)
- Month 36: Full HLTAID011 renewal (4 hours, $110)
