๐Ÿšจ Know what to do before the ambulance arrives โ€” it could save a life! ๐Ÿšจ

Join us on 10 Feb for a FREE Community Workshop โ€“ First Minutes Matter hosted by the River Heads Progress Association in partnership with LifeFlight. This isnโ€™t just another event โ€” itโ€™s practical, hands-on training that gives you the confidence and skills to act in those critical first minutes after an accident or medical emergency.

Whether itโ€™s learning how to control bleeding, manage burns, respond to choking or snake bites, recognise strokes and seizures, or perform CPR & AED use โ€” what you do before the professionals arrive really matters.

Why this matters:
๐Ÿ’ช You make a difference: Bystander action in the first minutes can drastically improve outcomes and help keep someone stable until help arrives โ€” especially in regional areas where response times can be longer.
๐Ÿง  Be prepared, not powerless: Gain real skills and confidence โ€” because knowing what to do is the best support you can offer your family, friends and community.
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Everyone benefits: These skills arenโ€™t just for emergencies โ€” they help you stay calm and act smart when it counts most.

๐Ÿ“ When: 10 Feb, 9amโ€“3pm
๐Ÿ“ Where: River Heads Community Hall
๐ŸŽŸ Cost: Free (just bring your willingness to learn!)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Spots are limited โ€” register today and be the person who makes a life-saving difference. ๐Ÿ’›
