If your staff need to renew their CPR certification — or you’re looking to keep your team confident in emergencies — a CPR refresher course in Perth is a practical way to stay compliant and prepared. Whether you’re in transport, childcare, education, construction or healthcare, keeping your workforce up to date with CPR is simply smart safety.
Here’s a quick, clear guide to what’s involved in CPR refreshers, which industries need them most, how often to renew, and why many Perth businesses do onsite CPR refresher training for their team with WJS Training.
What Is a CPR Refresher Course?
A CPR refresher is a short, hands-on session designed for people who’ve already completed CPR training — usually HLTAID009 Provide CPR — and need to keep their skills and certification up to date.
What your team will learn:
- How to spot and respond to cardiac arrest
- CPR techniques for adults, children, and babies
- How to use a defibrillator (AED)
- The DRSABCD emergency response steps
- Putting someone in the recovery position
The course usually takes 2–3 hours and combines practical scenarios with a quick theory check.
WJS Training offers a more efficient practical part in just 30 minutes at your business location and a few hours of online theory from anywhere.
Who Needs CPR Refresher Training?
Any workplace where safety matters should be doing regular CPR refreshers. In fact, most industries require staff to renew CPR every 12 months under Safe Work Australia guidelines.
At WJS Training, we often work with:
- Transport and logistics companies (like school bus operators)
- Childcare centres and schools
- Healthcare and aged care facilities
- Sports and fitness organisations
- Building, mining, and industrial trades
If your team works in high-risk environments or is responsible for public safety, this training is a must.
How Often Should Staff Renew CPR in WA?
National guidelines recommend renewing HLTAID009 every 12 months. Even if your staff hold a valid first aid certificate (HLTAID011), the CPR component needs more regular updates to ensure everyone stays confident and compliant.
CPR Refresher or Full First Aid? Here’s the Difference
Not sure which course your staff need?
CPR Refresher – HLTAID009
- Quick 30-minute practical session with WJS Training, 3 hours with other providers
- Focused on CPR and AED use
- Ideal for annual updates
Full First Aid – HLTAID011
- Full-day course with other providers, 90 minutes with WJS Training
- Covers CPR plus bleeding, burns, asthma, choking, fractures, etc.
- Required every 3 years in most workplaces
If your team already has HLTAID011 or HLTAID012 (for childcare), a CPR refresher is usually all that’s needed each year.
