Adult CPR Awareness Sessions

Do you know what to do in an emergency?

Ipswich City Council offers free CPR awareness sessions for adults to help teach life-saving 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.

See the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Information Sheet (PDF, 72.6 KB) for a few steps that need to be followed.

Adult CPR Awareness Sessions have been designed for adults aged 18+ years.

  • These sessions are offered under Ipswich City Council’s SEAL Pool Safety Program
  • Each session runs for one hour and is delivered by Queensland Ambulance Service
  • Bookings are essential as places are limited
  • Please note that these sessions do not provide a CPR qualification upon completion.
  • This program is primarily for Ipswich residents. Join our mailing list to be the first to know when bookings open for our next session.
