For most UniSA health programs and courses, Provide First Aid training and annual Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) updates are compulsory requirements to attend clinical placement. Please refer to your student checklist to determine your requirements.
Students should ensure they enrol and complete training courses with a registered and nationally recognised training organisation (RTO). The course must include both practical and theoretical components. Please visit training.gov.au to verify that your training provider is an RTO.
For details about how to upload and submit conditional evidence documents to the CPU, please refer to your student checklist.

Please note that the summary provided below of training qualifications that includes Provide First Aid and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) annual update is not exhaustive. If you have a training qualification that includes CPR or Provide First Aid, please submit it to the CPU Office for assessment.
What is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO)?
Registered training organisations (RTOs) are training providers that are registered by Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) or, in some cases, a state regulator, to deliver vocational education and training (VET) services. RTOs are recognised as providers of quality-assured and nationally recognised training and qualifications. Only RTOs can deliver nationally recognised courses and accredited Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) VET qualifications, as required by national and jurisdictional legislation within Australia.
