It is a recommendation by the Code of Practice: First Aid in the Workplace (a code to guide workplaces in meeting the requirements of the Work Health and Safety Act and the Work Health and Safety Regulation) that workplace first aiders renew their first aid qualification every three years and their CPR qualification annually. This is to allow first aiders to refresh their first aid knowledge and skills and to confirm their competence to provide first aid.
