• Fewer than 5% of people in Australia are trained in CPR and First Aid. This is one of the lowest rates in the world.
• More than 33,000 Australians suffer cardiac arrest each year, and only 5%- 7% survive. This is due to lack of knowledge and training.
• If CPR is performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, it can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival.
• 112 is the emergency number for mobile phones. Triple zero will still work; however, 112 will digitally search for another network provider if you are out of reception.

For every minute CPR is delayed, you reduce someone’s chance of survival by 10%
