Ballina-on-Richmond Rotary is offering free CPR training to the first 20 interested community members.

For every minute without CPR, survival from a cardiac arrest decreases by 7–10%.

Sponsored jointly by the Rotary Foundation Australia and Ballina on Richmond Rotary, and conducted by Revive Training (Northern Rivers), this course will provide each participant with a CPR accreditation [HLTAID009].

Together, we can Save Lives!

Following the CPR training, there will be a brief introduction to our Rotary GoodSAM project.

Statistically, 79% of Cardiac arrests occur in private residences, and only 11% occur in public places. It is those Patients who received community bystander CPR who had the highest survival rate (7%).

Ballina-on-Richmond Rotary, along with other Rotary Clubs in our region, are advocating on behalf of NSW Ambulance to encourage more community members to consider becoming 'GoodSAM responders'. We believe that the more people with the ‘GoodSAM Responder' phone App in our regional community, the higher the survival rate from Cardiac Arrest.

To take up our free CPR training offer, please register online here.

Should places be filled quickly - Ballina-on-Richmond Rotary will be offering further training opportunities in October 2025 and again in early 2026—details to follow after this event.
