Another Lifesaving Demonstration at Manly Freshwater Parish as part of our Heart Safe Community® Lifesaving Program.

Once again raising awareness and education in the community to be ABLE and READY to help save lives in case of a Sudden Cardiac out-of-hospital.

Did you Know?

On average, 575 Australians suffering a Sudden Cardiac Arrest out-of-hospital every week and ONLY 1 out of 10 WILL SURVIVE!

Defibrillators are basically a "Doctor in a box" analysing the patient's condition and providing guidance for CPR and importantly shocking the patient to restart the heart if required.

Knowing WHERE the defibrillators are located and HOW to use them is critical to help save a life in case of a sudden cardiac arrest out-of-hospital as defibrillation within three minutes of collapse can increase the chance of survival to over 70%.

Thank you Manly Freshwater Parish for allowing our Staying Alive Foundation and Heart Safe Australia team to provide morning tea and a lifesaving demonstration to church patrons after morning mass last Sunday.

A big THANK YOU again to the Insurance Advisernet Foundation and Amanda Smith from Optimum Insurance for the prior sponsorship for the defibrillator donation making  Manly Freshwater Parish a Heart Safe Community®.

Being PROACTIVE with awareness and education with our Heart Safe Community® in churches and other community areas makes regular people ABLE and READY to help save a life as opposed to being REACTIVE and not really know what to do! 

Everybody can be a lifesaver with defibrillator awareness, access and lifesaving education.
