How Long Does a First Aid Certificate Last in Western Australia?

In most cases, your first aid certificate, like HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, stays valid for 3 years from the day you complete the course. But the CPR part (HLTAID009) needs to be refreshed every 12 months to make sure your skills stay up to date.

RequirementSafe Work AustraliaAustralian Resuscitation Council
Provide First Aid Certificate Validity (HLTAID011)3 years 3 years
Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation- CPR Refresher (HLTAID009)12 months 12 months

That’s based on guidelines from Safe Work Australia and the Australian Resuscitation Council. If you’re a business, it’s important to keep your team’s certificates current – not just for safety, but to avoid issues with workplace compliance and liability.

What Happens if My First Aid Certificate Has Expired?

Once a certificate passes the recommended renewal period, it’s considered not current. That means it may no longer meet workplace health and safety obligations.

To stay ahead, businesses across Perth book WJS Training to manage renewals efficiently, without leaving the office.
