Seniors Festival 2026: StrokeSafe Information Session

• What stroke is  - What happens when someone is having a stroke and the different types of stroke.

• How to recognise the signs of stroke - Learn the vital F.A.S.T. signs of stroke.

• What to do during a stroke emergency - Knowing when to call triple zero (000).

• How to reduce your risk of stroke  - Understand and reduce the risk of stroke.
