First Aid and CPR Course in Melton
SafeHands First Aid Academy runs nationally recognised first aid and CPR courses at Melton Central Community Centre, 239 Station Rd, Melton VIC. Classes start at 10:00am, and on successful completion you receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment the same day. The trainers are registered nurses, the same people who run the Tarneit and Werribee courses.
Need a first aid course in Melton for work, study or a volunteer role? Or a CPR course in Melton to keep your certificate current? SafeHands runs both from one central venue. A one-day first aid course in Melton covers the full HLTAID011 qualification, and a short CPR course in Melton covers HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Nationally Recognised Training You Can Trust
SafeHands First Aid Academy delivers first aid and CPR training on behalf of Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909, a Registered Training Organisation regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). On successful completion you receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment that meets workplace, study, placement and volunteering requirements across Australia.
The Melton courses use the same accredited units, the same assessment standard and the same registered nurse trainers as the Tarneit and Werribee venues, so the certificate you leave with in Melton is identical to one issued at any other SafeHands location.

Why Do People in Melton Book Their First Aid Course With SafeHands?
You train with a registered nurse in a small group, and you leave the same day with a certificate that is nationally recognised.
Registered nurse trainers.
The Melton classes are taught by RNs, the same people who run the Tarneit and Werribee courses. You learn from someone who has done the clinical work, not a trainer reading from a script.
Small, supportive groups.
Sessions stay small so everyone gets hands-on manikin time and personal feedback. You finish knowing you can do compressions properly, not just that you watched them.
Same-day certificate (Usually within 24 hours).
Pass the practical and you leave with your nationally recognised Statement of Attainment that day. No waiting weeks for a PDF.
A central Melton venue.
Melton Central Community Centre is on Station Rd, a short drive from Melton West, Kurunjang, Cobblebank, Rockbank and Plumpton.
Accredited, not just "certified".
Training and assessment is delivered on behalf of Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909, so your certificate is nationally recognised and meets workplace and study requirements.
How Does a First Aid Course in Melton Work?
Every course follows the same pattern: online theory at home, then a face-to-face practical session at the venue.
Pick your course and date on the booking page. You get a confirmation with everything you need for the day.
Complete the theory at home before your class. It covers the DRSABCD response and the key concepts you will practise in person.
Classes start at 10:00am at Melton Central Community Centre. You practise CPR on manikins, use the AED, and work through bandaging, splinting and emergency scenarios with your trainer.
On successful completion you receive your nationally recognised Statement of Attainment the same day.
Your CPR component is valid for 12 months and your full first aid certificate for 3 years. Book the refresher when the date comes around and you stay current.
First Aid Course in Melton: HLTAID011 Provide First Aid (includes CPR)
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the standard workplace first aid qualification in Victoria and the course most people mean when they search for a first aid course in Melton. It includes the CPR component, so completing it covers both your first aid certificate and your CPR requirement in one booking.
The course covers the DRSABCD danger response, CPR and AED use, bleeding control, burns, fractures and sprains, asthma and anaphylaxis, shock, and scenario-based practice that mirrors what a real emergency looks like.
Who books it: workers who need first aid for their job, students on placement, parents, carers, sports club volunteers, and anyone who wants to be useful in an emergency at home or in the community. If you need a first aid certificate in Melton for a new role, a course placement or a volunteer position, HLTAID011 is the unit to book.
Validity: the HLTAID011 statement is valid for 3 years, and the CPR component inside it is renewed every 12 months.
CPR Course in Melton: HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the standalone CPR unit for people who need to refresh the skill and keep their compliance date current. A CPR course in Melton is the fastest way to do it without a full first aid booking.
The course covers the DRSABCD danger response, chest compressions with correct depth and rate, rescue breaths, AED use, the recovery position, and what to do for an unconscious person who is not breathing.
Who books it: healthcare and aged care staff, childcare workers (who need CPR completed within the previous 12 months), construction and warehouse workers at site induction, fitness instructors, and parents who want the skill for home.
Validity: HLTAID009 is valid for 12 months. A CPR refresher in Melton is a short session, and the certificate is issued the same day. CPR training in Melton is the same accredited unit and the same standard whether you take it as a refresher or a first course.
HLTAID009, HLTAID011 or HLTAID012
