What a privilege to train the enthusiastic Laerdal Australia and New Zealand Melbourne Team in first aid 💚

Laerdal are leaders in healthcare education and resuscitation training, and together we combined state-of-the-art equipment with best-practice techniques to help form the newest CFRA/Goodsam cardiac arrest response team 🙌

Building on their incredible support at Every Beat Counts™ in Adelaide during Shocktober, Laerdal continues to epitomise the seamless integration of corporate purpose, workplace culture, and community impact.

We can’t wait for our next collaboration! 👏

💚 Every Beat Counts™ 2025 | Year 1 💚

It takes a team effort to save a life from cardiac arrest — and the first vital step starts with the community 🤝

With a mission to empower communities and save lives through emergency response, key players in prevention, activation and emergency response graciously joined together with CFRA to host Every Beat Counts™ 2025 🙌

🎮 Gamified CPR on giant screens – powered by the imagination and foresight of Laerdal Australia and New Zealand

🎵 Rhythmic beats by DJ Sami and CULTURE, and the magnificent Pelligra Adelaide 36ers Arena setting the stage

A huge shoutout to ZOLL Public Safety, stryker and Philips for showcasing how their life-saving defibrillators can be used easily by anyone willing to step up.

🚑 Scenarios and education were led by the incredible teams from SA Ambulance Service, The Council of Ambulance Authorities and Surf Life Saving SA.

❤️ Heartbeat of Football conducted dozens of potentially life-saving heart health checks.

🦸‍♂️ Stroke Heroes 000 inspired kids around the stadium with their message on stroke recognition and action.

👮‍♀️ SA Police showed off their powerful “bounding compressions.”

🆘 MedicAlert Foundation demonstrated how they give a voice to those who can’t speak in emergencies.

🚐 NOAH the TLC for Kids rolled in, waiting eagerly for the next chance to bring the next very special experience to a child.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Next Every Beat Counts™ in 2026!

💚 Every Second Counts – Every Beat Counts™ 💚

Behind every life saved in a cardiac emergency are the everyday heroes who step up when it matters most — you, the community — and the incredible professionals who guide and support us: 🚑 SA Ambulance Service, 🚓 SA Police, 🛟 Surf Life Saving SA and the The Council of Ambulance Authorities

Tomorrow, they’ll all be coming together at Every Beat Counts™ to empower YOU with the life-saving skills of CPR and defibrillation. 💪
Because when it comes to cardiac arrest, survival starts with the first responder — and often, that’s not a paramedic. It’s a bystander. It’s YOU. 🙌

🎳 They came, they bowled, they brought “Britney” back to life! 🎳

What a cracker of a night at MCC Bowls Club in Hawthorn! While most people were working on their draw shots, this legendary crew was brushing up on CPR and defib skills — just in case anyone ends up flat on the green this summer! 💓🛟

With a special guest appearance by Associate Professor Ronald Dick (he delivered a top-notch presentation), the team got hands-on with “Britney” and “Stacey” — our not-so-lucky female training manikins. 🎯

They’re now officially ready to roll into summer — safe, skilled, and full of lifesaving know-how. Whether it’s a jack-high emergency or someone goes down the line, they’ve got it covered. 💪😄

CFRA is proud to be the official First Aid Partner of Bowls Victoria.

🧯 Want to bowl your club over with training, grab a defib, or book standby first aid for your event?
