Performance Evidence:

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role.

There must be evidence that the candidate has completed the following tasks in line with state/territory regulations, first aid codes of practice, Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines, and workplace procedures:

Followed DRSABCD in line with ARC guidelines, including:

performed at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor

performed at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (5 cycles both compressions and ventilations) on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface

responded appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting

managed the unconscious breathing casualty

followed single rescue procedure, including the demonstration of a rotation of operators with minimal interruptions to compressions

followed the prompts of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Responded to at least one simulated first aid scenario contextualized to the candidate’s workplace/community setting, including:

demonstrated safe manual handling techniques

provided an accurate verbal or written report of the incident

Applied first aid procedures for the following:

allergic reaction

anaphylaxis

bleeding control

choking and airway obstruction

envenomation, using pressure immobilization

fractures, sprains, and strains, using arm slings, roller bandages, or other appropriate immobilization techniques

respiratory distress, including asthma

shock

Assessment strategy:

Skills must be demonstrated working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess candidates’ skills and knowledge.

Assessment resources must include:

adult and infant resuscitation manikins in line with ARC Guidelines for the purpose of assessment of CPR procedures

adrenaline auto-injector training device

AED training device

placebo bronchodilator and spacer device

roller bandages

triangular bandages

workplace First Aid kit

workplace injury, trauma and/or illness record, or other appropriate workplace incident report form for written reports

wound dressings

Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.

Assessment Includes:

Assessment will be conducted using a range of methods including case scenarios, questioning, written assessment, and practical skills demonstration, assessment strategies will be based on the principles of consistency, fairness, validity, and reliability.
