How to Get Your UETDRRF004 Statement of Attainment
Your UETDRRF004 statement of attainment is the bit of paper that decides whether your crew works today or drives home. Getting a current one is simple once you know three things: which unit code you'll be assessed in, which RTO to book, and how fast the certificate lands.
Here's how it usually goes wrong. Early start, busy commercial site. A sparky taps in at the induction kiosk and gets knocked back because his LVR has lapsed. The job gets rescheduled, the builder's not happy, and his boss wears the lost day.
The catch is that UETDRRF004 has been superseded. Any new statement you get now will show the replacement unit code, not the old one. If a builder's portal still asks for UETDRRF004, tell them straight: "It's been replaced. Same rescue competency, current code." Every site sets its own rules, so check with the site before you rock up.
At Accelerate First Aid (RTO 31106), we run LVR and CPR in Brisbane with early starts and fast certificates. We also do onsite sessions for crews who can't lose a morning driving across town. Book your LVR and CPR course whenever you're ready.
Below: which code your new LVR certificate shows, the steps from USI to issue, how fast it arrives, how to check it's legit, and how to get the whole crew on one renewal date.
Here's the short version first.
How Do I Get My UETDRRF004 Statement of Attainment?
You get a UETDRRF004 statement of attainment by completing the live LV panel rescue unit with a registered training organisation (RTO) and being assessed competent. UETDRRF004 has been superseded, so certificates issued today show the replacement unit code instead. Here's the process:
Get your USI. Create or find your Unique Student Identifier at usi.gov.au.
Book with an approved RTO. Check on training.gov.au that the RTO is approved to deliver the current LVR unit and HLTAID009 CPR.
Finish any pre-course work. Most providers set short online modules before the day.
Pass the practical assessment. Perform a rescue from a live LV panel mock-up and CPR on a manikin.
Receive your statement of attainment. It arrives by email as a PDF. Upload it to your induction portal.
Why UETDRRF004 Won't Be on Your New Certificate
You've probably seen UETDRRF004 on so many certificates you stopped reading it. This year the code changes, even though the job stays the same.
What "superseded" means on training.gov.au
"Superseded" on training.gov.au means the unit has been replaced in the training package. RTOs stop running the old unit and start training and assessment on the new one, and that's what's happened with UETDRRF004.
The changeover period for training, assessment and issuing reportedly ended 13 October 2025. After that date, a current course means a new code.
Is my existing UETDRRF004 statement still valid?
Your old statement is a permanent record that you were assessed competent. Hang onto it.
Validity isn't really the issue, though. What builders and principal contractors care about is currency, meaning how recently you did it, and we cover that in the Queensland requirements section further down.
Some RTOs will accept a recent UETDRRF004 statement as entry evidence for a refresher. It varies between providers, so ask when you book.
What to tell a builder who asks for the old code
Plenty of induction portals haven't caught up yet. If one asks for UETDRRF004, this line usually sorts it:
"It's been replaced. Same rescue competency, current code."
Keep your wording to that. Don't tell anyone the codes are "equivalent" unless the training.gov.au mapping says so. Other LVR codes are floating around too, and training.gov.au lists UETDRMP007 as not equivalent, so it's easy to grab the wrong one.
Now that you know what code you'll walk out with, here's how to get it.
Getting Your LVR Statement of Attainment in Brisbane, Step by Step
None of this is hard. People come unstuck on small admin jobs left until the night before, so here's the order.
Sort your USI first
Every nationally recognized certificate is tied to a Unique Student Identifier. No USI means no statement. If you haven't got one or you've forgotten it, sort it out at usi.gov.au.
For most crews, the hold-up is apprentices and new starters. Your licensed sparkies will have one. The young bloke you hired last month might not. Chase those up when you book, not on the morning of the course.
Pick an RTO that's actually approved
Not every provider selling LVR can issue the current unit. Search the provider's RTO number on training.gov.au and check that its scope lists the current LVR unit and HLTAID009. For example, search RTO 31106 and you'll see what Accelerate First Aid is approved to deliver. It's quick, and it saves finding out after the portal rejects your certificate.
Check the prerequisites
CPR is part of the deal. HLTAID009 is bundled with LVR at most providers, and it's the same unit you'd book if you did CPR on its own.
Knock over the pre-course work
Most providers set some online theory before the day. Ours works fine on a phone. Do it the night before on the couch rather than in the car park on the morning. Anyone who turns up without the pre-work done usually can't be assessed on the day.
The practical assessment
This is the part that matters. You'll work with a proper LV rescue kit, isolate the supply, drag the casualty clear of the panel and then do CPR on a manikin. It's hands on, not slides.
You only get a statement if you're assessed competent. Turning up and signing the sheet earns nothing. The assessment is real, and it should be.
Receiving and uploading your statement
Your LVR certificate arrives by email as a PDF. Before you upload it anywhere, check that the name on it matches your ID exactly. A missing middle name or a spelling mismatch is enough for some induction portals to bounce it, and you'll lose a day waiting for a reissue.
Once it checks out, upload it everywhere and keep a copy on your phone.
The course is the easy part. Waiting on the paperwork is where days get lost.
How Fast You'll Get Your Certificate
A course that finishes early is no use if the certificate takes ages to turn up.
What's typical across Brisbane RTOs
Turnaround varies a lot between providers. Some issue certificates on the day and others make you wait. It depends on how the RTO processes assessments and whether a person has to sign off every certificate by hand.
A short delay doesn't sound like much. But with a site induction booked straight after, you're relying on the paperwork turning up in time.
Don't leave it to the week of expiry
Think back to the sparky at the induction kiosk. His ticket had only just lapsed, so it wasn't a big miss, but it still cost his boss a full day. Most lapses happen like that. The date just creeps up while everyone's busy.
Book early | Book the week before | |
Crew hours lost | Planned around booked jobs | Pulled off jobs at short notice |
Rescheduled jobs | None | Likely, if a date's full or a cert is late |
Builder relationship | Nothing to explain | An awkward phone call, or worse |
Once it lands, check it before you upload it.
What Your Statement of Attainment Must Show
Most people open the PDF, see their name and upload it straight away. Take a moment to check it properly, because a portal rejection down the track costs more than that.
The details every valid statement includes
A legit LVR certificate should show:
Your full name, matching your ID
The RTO's name and number, for example RTO 31106
Unit codes and titles, the current LVR unit and HLTAID009
Issue date, which is the one builders check
The Nationally Recognized Training logo
The Standards for RTOs changed on 1 July 2025, and ASQA sets exactly what a statement has to include. If you're unsure, check ASQA's current wording.
If anything's missing, or there's no RTO number you can look up, ask questions before uploading.
Check it on your USI transcript
Your USI account keeps a record of the nationally recognized training reported against your name. Log in at usi.gov.au, open your transcript, and you can view it, download it, or give an employer access to an authorized copy.
It's also a good gut check. If a unit you paid for never appears on your transcript, you've learned something about that provider.
Wallet cards aren't the same thing
A plastic card is handy in the ute, but it isn't your proof of training. Some builders and principal contractors won't accept a wallet card unless it meets AQF requirements, so the PDF statement is what you'll actually upload.
So why do builders care so much? It comes back to one section of Queensland law.
LVR Requirements in Queensland: What the Law Actually Says
Plenty of sparkies couldn't tell you where the rule comes from, and that's fair enough. Here are the LVR requirements in Qld without the jargon.
Section 28 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013
Under section 28 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013, the person conducting a business or undertaking (the PCBU) must make sure workers doing electrical work are competent in rescue and resuscitation. That competence has to follow recognized practices in the electricity industry. The maximum penalty is 40 penalty units.
If you run the business, that duty sits with you, not your sparkies and not the builder. You're the one who has to show your crew is trained and current if anyone asks.
Why the industry treats it as annual
Section 28 doesn't mention 12 months. The yearly cycle comes from what the industry treats as recognized practice.
The CPR side is simpler. The Australian Resuscitation Council recommends a CPR refresher every 12 months. So both halves end up on the same yearly clock.
What happens when a ticket lapses
In practice, two things happen:
Refused site access. Builders check LVR at induction, and a lapsed ticket means you don't get through the gate.
Exposure in an investigation. If the Electrical Safety Office asks for training records, the business has to explain the gap.
Neither is a disaster on its own. Both are easy to avoid.
Do you have to redo CPR every time?
Most people do, and bundling HLTAID009 with LVR is standard across Brisbane. It's one session, one morning and one lot of paperwork instead of two separate bookings.
That duty sits with the business owner, so here's how to make it one job a year.
Keeping Your Whole Crew Current
Staggered expiry dates are the real headache. When everyone on the crew has a different renewal date, someone is always about to lapse, and you only find out when you remember to open the spreadsheet.
Move everyone to one renewal date
Pick one morning and get the whole crew done together. That's one booking, one invoice and one date to remember, instead of a handful of separate bookings spread across the year.
Some of the crew will renew early this time. That's the price of fixing it once.
Onsite at your workshop
If moving the whole crew across Brisbane first thing sounds painful, bring the course to you. Onsite LVR training in Brisbane can run at your workshop, or at a client site if that's easier. The trainer brings the rescue kit and panel mock-up.
Get the whole crew done in one morning. Ask us for an onsite LVR training quote with your name, phone, crew size and suburb.
Records you'll want if the ESO asks
If the Electrical Safety Office ever asks, you'll want two things on hand:
A statement of attainment for every worker, filed where you can find it
A tracker showing each person's LVR, CPR and license dates
Apprentices and new starters
New hires don't turn up on your crew's renewal date. That's why we keep places open through the year, so an apprentice or new starter can get their LVR done before their first site induction. Then fold them into the crew date the following year.
Getting your UETDRRF004 statement of attainment sorted, under its new code these days, isn't complicated. Most of the trouble comes from leaving it until last week.
Start with the code. UETDRRF004 has been superseded, so your new statement will show the replacement unit. If a builder's portal still asks for the old one, tell them it's been replaced: same rescue competency, current code.
The steps themselves are simple. Sort your USI, book an RTO that's approved for the current unit, knock over the pre-work the night before, and pass the practical rescue and CPR on the day. Check the PDF before you upload it.
The rest is timing. Check your ticket dates, and if anyone's getting close, book now.
If you run the business, the duty sits with you. Put everyone on one renewal date, keep a statement on file for every worker, and book yourself in or get a crew quote.
