HLTSS00068 – Occupational First Aid Skill Set  

You’re stepping into HLTSS00068 for a reason — because you’re someone who shows up when it matters most.

Learning occupational first aid isn&t just a course… it’s a commitment to safety, courage, and care.

Every technique you practise, every scenario you run, every minute you spend learning is building the confidence to make a real difference. One day, someone will need help — and you’ll be the calm, capable person who knows exactly what to do.

This training can be challenging but it’s meaningful.
It’s the kind of skill that turns ordinary people into everyday heroes.

You’ve got this.
Keep learning, keep practising, and trust that every bit of effort is preparing you to protect and support the people who depend on you — especially those in your workplace.
