First Aid Certification for Working in Aged Care
Aged care workers in Australia must hold valid first aid (HLTAID011) and CPR (HLTAID009) certifications in compliance with workplace health and safety laws. This includes aged care roles such as personal care assistants, aged care workers, home care workers, nursing assistants, and residential support workers.
Obtaining certification in aged care first aid is not just a matter of compliance, as many aged care employers look favourably at applicants who maintain consistent first aid certification. In other words – staying updated with aged care first aid training (even if you’re not currently actively working) can open up more job opportunities.
