Who needs HLTAID012?

Every educator in a childcare or education and care setting must hold a current HLTAID012 (or be supervised by someone who does, depending on state regulations).

  • Renew every 3 years (CPR component must be renewed annually)

How often do I need to renew HLTAID012?
Every 3 years for the full course. The CPR component (HLTAID009) must be renewed annually.
Where can I do HLTAID012?
