19.01.2022 Do you know it would take an Ambulance at least 10 min to reach your house in Haddon. You could be the Life saving step in saving a family member or neighbours life. Shocktober is a month-long campaign to highlight the importance of knowing where Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are located and to ensure that all AEDs are made publicly accessible and registered through Ambulance Victoria. Restart a Heart Day is held on October 16 and is a global initiative to raise aw...areness and educate the community about CPR and AEDs. Did you know that only 1 in 10 Australians survive a cardiac arrest? Together we can improve cardiac arrest survival rates by knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED (defibrillator). Join me in this virtual awareness session, and together we could get our community a 24/7 AED granted from Ambulance Victoria, so join me in virtual awareness session. See more

If you hear sirens at 5:40pm this afternoon there is no reason to be alarmed.
