Today is World Restart a Heart Day - a global day to promote the message that when someone is not responding and not breathing normally or at all, you don’t need special training to save a life.

It is quite literally as simple as having the confidence to CALL PUSH SHOCK!

It saved my life, and it could save yours or a loved one’s, so SPREAD THE WORD!

❤It's World Restart a Heart Day, and we have just heard that Australian Resuscitation Council will be 'round the Square today until 2pm with demonstrations on CPR and advice on how to refresh your CPR skills. Sounds like a very valuable exercise, because you never know know when you might need to restart a heart.
PS We'll put it in the diary for next year.

The Australian Resuscitation Council is deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Tony Walker ASM, a distinguished leader whose contribution to paramedicine, emergency care and resuscitation has left an enduring legacy across Australia and beyond.

We join with our colleagues around Australia and the world in remembering Tony for his compassion, integrity and genuine care for people. He understood that every emergency response centres on a person in need and on those committed to providing care, and he consistently championed both.

Tony was a valued long-term contributor to the Australian Resuscitation Council, serving as the chair of the Victorian State Branch for 15 years. He was recognised for his service by the Council as an inductee to the Australian Resuscitation Council Roll of Honour and as a recipient of the ARC Medal in 2017.

The Australian Resuscitation Council extends its sincere condolences to Tony’s family, friends, colleagues and the wider ambulance, resuscitation and healthcare communities. We honour his extraordinary service and his lasting contribution to saving lives.
