If you're keen to learn or update CPR, don't forget to message Eb so she can send you a link to register with Healthguard First Aid, RTO 21156 and complete the pre-workshop training.

💔 Please note that this is a CPR Course - qjere Cheryl will guode you through learning how to do lifesaving breaths and compressions and also use a defribulator (now located on the exterior of our hall for greater access). This course doesn't include the full First Aid training.

“What’s that lanyard for?”

Here’s your answer 🌻

When someone wears a Sunflower lanyard, it means they have a non-visible disability. This is something you may not be able to see.

It lets others know they might need a bit more time, patience or help.

You may also see a white Sunflower Supporter lanyard. This can be worn by carers and by people in workplaces who have been trained and are ready to assist. It shows they understand the Sunflower and are there to help if needed.

Seen it before? Now you know. Pass it on.

🇦🇺 Everyone needs to be trained in Cadiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and in the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED).
We all need to familiarise ourselves with the public locations of AEDs.
Sports Facilities, Shopping Centres etc.
Early CPR and contacting "000" is life saving.

A severe heatwave is expected over the next few days, with extreme heatwave conditions forecast to be the worst we’ve seen since the Black Summer bushfires.

It won't hurt to give the gardening a miss, or save that long run for another day – stay out of the sun and make a plan to stay cool.

💨 Use air conditioning and fans.

👒 Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and slide on those shades.

🌡️ Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day.

🚿 Use a wet towel, put your feet in cool water and take cool showers.

💧 Stay hydrated. If your urine is dark, you definitely need more fluids.

⛔ Skip leg day, that Tan Track run, and trimming those bushes – it can wait.

With this warmer weather we’re finally getting, please take a moment to check in on loved ones , especially the elderly, kids, and anyone who may be vulnerable in the heat.

Make sure pets and animals have plenty of shade, fresh water, and a safe place to escape the heat.

Plan ahead, stay hydrated, limit time outdoors where possible, and aim to be somewhere cool as the day heats up. Looking out for each other can make a real difference.

Stay safe today.
