CPR and first aid training for Botany workplaces and residents
Botany is one of the few suburbs in our service area where the industrial risk profile genuinely drives the training requirement. The container terminals and freight operations at Port Botany, the Foreshore Road and Banksmeadow industrial estates, the transport yards and the warehousing all involve heavy plant, forklifts, working at height and vehicle movements – and a workplace like that is expected to plan for crush injuries, lacerations, burns and falls, not only cardiac arrest. Alongside that sits an established residential suburb with schools, childcare centres, parks and an aquatic centre.
CPR Plus First Aid covers both sides of it. We run nationally recognised CPR, first aid and education and care first aid courses for Botany businesses, centres and residents. Scheduled courses are held at our Kogarah training room, and for workplaces – which is how most Botany training happens – a trainer comes to your site with manikins, training defibrillators and consumables and delivers the course around your roster.

Getting to us from Botany
The training room is at 18 Station Street, Kogarah, roughly 15 minutes from Botany. The usual run is Botany Road then the Princes Highway south into Kogarah, then a right into Station Street. It is a short trip on paper, but it crosses the airport approaches, so afternoon and school-holiday traffic can stretch it. Check before you leave rather than trusting the estimate.
Botany has no railway station. If you would rather not drive, the options are a bus along Botany Road towards Mascot for the T8 Airport line and then a change at Wolli Creek onto a T4 Illawarra service, or a bus towards Rockdale and a short train from there. For a full-day course most Botany participants drive. There is street parking on Station Street and in the surrounding blocks plus public car parks in Kogarah town centre – the area is busy from early because of St George Hospital traffic, so allow an extra ten minutes.
Who we train in Botany
Botany bookings are weighted more towards workplaces than most suburbs we cover:
- Warehouse, freight, container and logistics crews around Port Botany and Foreshore Road, where a named first aid officer is a site condition
- Forklift operators, plant operators and yard staff whose inductions require current first aid
- Transport, courier and fuel distribution operations based in the Botany and Banksmeadow estates
- Manufacturing and chemical handling sites where the incident profile includes burns and chemical exposure
- Early childhood educators and OOSH staff from centres around Botany who need HLTAID012
- Aquatic centre, swim school and sports club staff
- Retail, cafe and small business staff along Botany Road who are their site’s first aid person
How many first aiders does a Botany site actually need?
The number is not a fixed ratio. Safe Work Australia’s first aid guidance ties the number of trained first aiders, and the contents of the kit, to the level of risk at the workplace rather than to headcount alone – a high-risk site is expected to have a first aider available for a much smaller group of workers than a low-risk office. For a container yard, a warehouse with forklift movements or a plant with chemical handling, that means more trained people, spread across shifts, and it means reviewing the assessment when the operation changes rather than once every few years.
The unit matters as much as the number. For an industrial Botany site, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is almost always the correct enrolment rather than the CPR unit alone, because it adds bleeding control, burns, fractures, eye injuries and structured casualty assessment to the same CPR content. Sites handling chemicals should also look at whether asthma and anaphylaxis units are worth adding for the people most likely to respond.
Why people in Botany train with us
We deliver on site and around shifts, which for a port-adjacent operation is usually the deciding factor – more than one session in a day, or across consecutive days, so no shift has to be stood down.
Training is nationally recognised, delivered on behalf of and in partnership with Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909, and the CPR content follows current Australian Resuscitation Council guidance. Classes stay small, trainers are qualified professionals with practical emergency response experience, and the teaching is scenario-based rather than a slide deck.
The team at CPR Plus First Aid were super easy to deal with, concise and clear communication and the teacher was engaging, informative and logistical.Umesh, Security Officer

Frequently asked questions
Where do Botany CPR courses run?
Scheduled courses run at 18 Station Street, Kogarah NSW 2217, about 15 minutes from Botany via Botany Road and the Princes Highway. Most Botany workplaces instead book onsite delivery at their own premises.
Which unit does a warehouse or port site need?
Generally HLTAID011 Provide First Aid rather than CPR alone, because the likely incidents include crush injuries, lacerations, burns and falls as well as cardiac arrest. HLTAID011 already contains the HLTAID009 CPR content.
Can you train across multiple shifts?
Yes. We can run more than one session at your site on the same day, or across consecutive days, so that no shift is stood down. Send your roster pattern with your enquiry and we will build the schedule around it.
How many first aiders does our site need?
It depends on your risk assessment rather than a flat ratio – higher-risk workplaces are expected to have a first aider available for a smaller number of workers. Safe Work Australia guidance is the reference point, and your own risk assessment should drive the number.
What does training cost?
HLTAID009 Provide CPR is $50.00, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is $100.00 and HLTAID012 for education and care settings is $110.00. Onsite group training is quoted on participant numbers.
Is there a train from Botany?
No. Botany has no station. Take a bus towards Mascot for the T8 line and change at Wolli Creek onto a T4 service, or a bus towards Rockdale and a short train from there. Driving is usually simpler for a full-day course.
