CPR and first aid training for Oatley
Oatley is a quiet, leafy suburb wrapped around the Georges River, and the shape of its risk is domestic and recreational rather than industrial. Oatley Park and the foreshore, the bays and boat ramps, the sporting fields, the schools and the small village strip around Frederick Street and the station make up most of the local activity. Which means the people most likely to need CPR skills in Oatley are family members, sports club volunteers, teachers and neighbours – not a designated workplace first aid officer.
CPR Plus First Aid runs nationally recognised CPR, first aid and education and care first aid courses at our training room at 18 Station Street, Kogarah, nine minutes away. The teaching is hands-on: compressions and rescue breaths on adult and infant manikins, training defibrillator use, the recovery position, choking management, and scenario work built on the situations that actually occur in a suburb like this one – a collapse at a barbecue, a child in trouble in the water, an older relative found unresponsive.

Getting to us from Oatley
Our room is at 18 Station Street, Kogarah, about 9 minutes from Oatley by car. From Frederick Street the straightforward route is across to the Princes Highway and north into Kogarah, then a right into Station Street. It is a genuinely short trip and one of the easier drives on our list.
By train there are no changes: Oatley and Kogarah are both on the T4 Illawarra line, so it is a single service and a two-minute walk from Kogarah station to the door. If you drive, there is street parking on Station Street and the blocks around it plus the public car parks in Kogarah town centre. Kogarah gets busy early because of St George Hospital traffic, so allow an extra ten minutes rather than arriving exactly on the hour.
Who we train in Oatley
Oatley bookings are weighted towards family, school and community roles:
- Parents and grandparents who want infant and child CPR practice, often before summer and river season
- Sports club coaches, team managers and canteen volunteers at the local grounds
- School teachers, teachers’ aides and support staff from the local primary schools
- Early childhood educators and family day care educators who need HLTAID012
- Boating and sailing club members and anyone regularly on the river
- Aged care and in-home support workers visiting clients across the area
- Small business owners and staff from the Frederick Street village strip
The Georges River detail Oatley families should know
Oatley’s foreshore, bays and boat ramps mean the most plausible local emergency is a water incident, and drowning arrests behave differently to cardiac ones. The problem is a lack of oxygen rather than a rhythm disturbance, so rescue breaths carry more weight than they do in a typical adult collapse, and compression-only CPR is a weaker fallback than it would be on a footpath. The HLTAID009 practical assessment includes rescue breaths on both adult and infant manikins, which is exactly the skill this suburb is most likely to need.
The second, less obvious point: get the casualty out of the water before starting compressions. Effective compressions cannot be delivered in the water, and attempts to do so cost time that a hypoxic casualty does not have. The course also covers the handover – what to tell the ambulance service, what to keep doing while you wait, and how two rescuers swap without compressions stopping.
Why people in Oatley train with us
Classes are small, and that matters more for family bookings than anything else – it means real time on both adult and infant manikins rather than watching from the back of the room.
Training is nationally recognised, delivered on behalf of and in partnership with Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909, with CPR content following current Australian Resuscitation Council guidance. Oatley schools, clubs and community groups can also have a trainer attend their own venue, which for a club running a pre-season refresher is usually simpler than sending everyone out.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the closest CPR course to Oatley?
At 18 Station Street, Kogarah NSW 2217 – about 9 minutes by car, or a direct T4 train from Oatley station with no changes and a two-minute walk at the Kogarah end.
Do you teach infant and child CPR for parents?
Yes. The HLTAID009 practical includes CPR on adult and infant manikins, plus choking management for infants and children. There is no work requirement needed to book a place.
What should I book if I am on the water a lot?
HLTAID009 Provide CPR covers resuscitation including rescue breaths, which matter more in a drowning than a cardiac collapse. If you also want to manage bleeding, fractures and allergic reactions, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid includes the same CPR content.
What does it cost?
HLTAID009 is $50.00, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is $100.00 and HLTAID012 for education and care settings is $110.00. Group and onsite training is quoted on participant numbers.
Can you train our sports club?
Yes. A trainer attends your clubhouse or ground with manikins and training defibrillators. Send your numbers and a couple of possible dates through the enquiry form at the top of this page.
How often should CPR be refreshed?
For HLTAID009 the provider states a 12-month certificate validity period. For families with young children an annual refresher is worth doing regardless, because the choking and infant techniques fade quickly without practice.
