Adult CPR Awareness Sessions

Do you know what to do in an emergency?

Ipswich City Council offers free CPR awareness sessions for adults aged 18+ years to help teach you the essential basics of CPR.  You will learn life-saving skills, build confidence to respond in an emergency and gain practical, hands-on CPR skills.  A young child is four times more likely to survive a near drowning if parents/guardians or bystanders know CPR and it is performed immediately.

A child or toddler can drown within 20 seconds, in as little as 50mm of water. A child drowning is silent. Knowing the basics of CPR could help save a life!

See the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Information Sheet(PDF, 73KB) for a few steps that need to be followed.
