OVER 4,000 PEOPLE TRAINED IN HIGH QUALITY CPR IN 1 DAY - What an incredibly amazing and rewarding day Take Heart Australia Day 2015 was!
Tony and I enjoyed being part of a team of volunteer Trainers at Allianz Stadium Sydney (overseen by one bossy puppet – Resus Andy). The team were able to train over 4,000 people in high-quality CPR. Proud to call everyone who took part Take Heart Heroes.
No Guinness World Record this year, but we'll be back to have another crack at it for Take Heart Australia Day 2016.
You can’t choose when Sudden Cardiac Arrest will strike - but you can be prepared.

137 STAFF FROM ONE WORKFORCE TRAINED OVER 2 DAYS IN CPR & USING AN AED – congratulations to my client Ace Gutters, Mortdale, NSW for having the initiative of introducing their entire workforce to confidently provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and using an Automated External Defibrillator over a series of workshops spanning 2 days. The workshops ran for 1hr 15min and covered all age groups with practical scenarios delivered onsite by Training You First Aid.
No wonder they are celebrating over 60 years in business! A proactive company who certainly care about their staff’s well-being rather than responding to it after it has happened.
FAILING TO PREPARE IS PREPARING TO FAIL - with 2016 approaching approximately 30,000 Australians will die of Cardiac Arrest, and Doctors say that number would be greatly reduced if more people knew what they were doing.
The life you save with CPR is most likely to be someone you love – learn CPR & AED.

SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST ISN'T JUST AN ADULT THING - You can’t choose when Sudden Cardiac Arrest will strike. But you can be prepared.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. When it happens, HeartSine’s Automated External Defibrillator (AED) technology can make the difference between life and death.
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the biggest health care problems in the world and AEDs are a critical part of the solution.
