Men are twice as likely than women to receive bystander defibrillation ➡️

THE ANSWER:
D) Perform CPR and apply an AED as normal

CPR for women follows exactly the same process as CPR for men under Australian guidelines, here's what to do if the patient has breasts:
🩷 CPR can begin without removing clothing
🩷 Hands are placed on the centre of the chest (sternum)
🩷 Your hands may touch breast tissue, this is normal and unavoidable
🩷 Breast tissue does not prevent effective compressions
🩷 Clothing must be opened or cut to expose the chest for AED pad placement (underwire bras should be removed or cut away when using an AED)
🩷 If breasts affect AED pad placement, they can be gently moved aside to place pads correctly
🩷 CPR and defibrillation should not be delayed because a woman is pregnant
🩷 If there are other bystanders, ask them to help create privacy by using a sheet or thermal blanket.

Don't hesitate because of breasts, bras, pregnancy or social discomfort. Early action saves lives.

The news is out!

Many people want to help. Few know how to start the conversation.

That's where our new course R U OK? At Work: Conversations in Practice comes in.

Delivered by St John in partnership with R U OK?, this practical, face-to-face workshop helps participants recognise when a colleague may be struggling and build the confidence to have meaningful workplace conversations.

Through realistic scenarios and interactive activities, you'll learn the four steps of an R U OK? conversation and how to better support the people around you.

Because sometimes the most important conversation is the one you almost didn't have.

🏅 The results only tell part of the story.

This week, our people in green had the privilege of supporting the Special Olympics Australia as athletes from across Australia came together in Melbourne to compete, connect, and celebrate the true spirit of sport.

From pools and courts to tracks and fields, we were there every step of the way, providing event health services and helping athletes compete with confidence.

We're incredibly proud to support an event that showcases the very best of people, and grateful to our volunteers who helped make it all possible.

Behind every compression was a person willing to step forward.

From volunteers and staff to members of the public, Restart A Heart Day brought together people from all walks of life with one shared goal: learning a skill that could help save a life.

Every person in these photos (and so many more!) made the decision to stop, learn, and have a go. That's how stronger, safer communities are built.

20/10/2026

We kept CPR alive for 4 hours straight for Restart A Heart Day!

Our first ever Non-Stop CPR Challenge was nothing short of memorable. Victorians stepped up to the stage with a shared goal: helping build a community that's ready to save a life.

From first-time learners to experienced responders, thank you to everyone who took part, tuned into the livestream and helped raise awareness.
