First Aid and Mental First Aid
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.
