First Aid and Mental First Aid

Why First Aid

All Private Health Fund Providers, and therefore ISPA requires it’s members to have a valid and up to date 1st Aid Certificate

First Aid

First Aid qualifications need to include CPR.

There are many different First Aid course providers across the country, however at ISPA, we recommend you choose a provider that is accredited  to deliver the course you are completing.

The accredited modules for first aid are:

• HLTAID001

Accredited 1st Aid courses are usually valid for 5 years, however the CPR unit needs to be updated every 3 years.

Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid programmes offer a suite of early-intervention courses that increase mental health literacy and teach the practical skills needed to support someone experiencing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.

Both course providers shown above  offer  an accredited Mental Health  First Aid  programme.
