That’s a wrap at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 ⚽💚

What an incredible 3 weeks of everything heart — from heart health checks to gamified CPR demonstrations.
Partnering with two incredible organisations, and a team of 13 dedicated CFRA staff travelled across 3 states with one clear focus: improving female cardiac arrest survival.

A huge thank you to Pascal, Pytou, Yaz, John, Darcy, Jorja, Alex E, Charlotte, Jared, Richard, Leon, Gwyn and baby Mia — your dedication and determination, often in sweltering heat, ensured hundreds of fans learned lifesaving skills in those few precious minutes you had with them.

A special shoutout to Gwyn, who recognized the importance of the program so was planning 80 flights and accommodation from when Mia was just 2 days old. 👶✈️

Angelo and Andy — incredible work bringing this program to life and inviting us to partner with you. And to Laerdal, your gamified CPR continues to make a huge impact in CFRA courses and was an absolute hit over the past 3 weeks 💚

This is what community impact looks like 🙌

What an incredible day at the ZOLL Annual Business Partner Event!

We soaked up the latest trends and insights across everything ZOLL, while reconnecting with an inspiring network of passionate people—from the ZOLL team to fellow business partners.

The Awards Gala Dinner was, as always, a standout highlight, set against the stunning backdrop of Circular Quay. Congratulations to all the well-deserved winners 🎊 and a special shoutout to Mia on her first conference 👏🏻

A huge thank you to Fiona, Marissa, David, Eugenae, Richard and MJ for bringing it all together—and for bringing all of us together 💚

At Community First Responders Australia (CFRA), International Women’s Day has never been about just one day — it’s been a focus every day 💚

From our inception just three years ago, diversity, equity and improving female cardiac arrest survival have been central to our mission. The results speak for themselves.

✨ Equity in Emergency Response
Breaking down barriers to female operational response, 70% of CFRA’s 30 First Responders are women.

✨ Equity in Community Response
More than 70% of our 2,500+ CFRA GoodSAM Responders (Shock Savers®) across Victoria are female. Remarkably, CFRA responders now represent almost 15% of the state’s GoodSAM network.

Breaking Barriers to Female Cardiac Arrest Survival
Our growing team of purpose-built female training manikins — Britney, Stacey, Tiffany and Roxy — have helped train over 9,500 people across diverse ages and communities 🙌

Currently travelling the country with Heartbeat of Football at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026, CFRA continues to innovate — breaking down barriers to female CPR through skilled training and realistic scenarios 👏

From day one, our approach has always been more than surface level. It’s not simply about placing a bra on a manikin — it’s about working with communities to understand real cultural and social barriers, and designing training that addresses them in a respectful, culturally safe and practical way 🫶

If you’d like to join the CFRA team as a community responder, professional responder or trainer, we’d love to hear from you.

Today we had the privilege of training the incredible team from Kateeny Childcare in lifesaving CPR and first aid 💚

As we mark International Women’s Day, it’s a powerful reminder that women are less likely to receive CPR and less likely to survive cardiac arrest than men. At Community First Responders Australia, we are committed to helping change that 💪

By empowering more people with the confidence and competence to act in a medical emergency — for both men and women — we are helping ensure that every person has the best possible chance of survival when every second counts 🙌

Our training also features our growing CFRA female manikin team — Roxy, Britney, Tiffany and Stacey — allowing participants to practise CPR on female patient models. Increasing awareness and confidence when responding to women in cardiac arrest is an important step in improving survival outcomes.

A huge thank you to the Kateeny team for their enthusiasm, teamwork and commitment to protecting their community.

Every beat counts. Every responder matters.

💜

Strong. Skilled. Ready when every second counts.

💚 CFRA Saving lives around the bay this summer 💚

With sincere appreciation to Brighton Baths Health Club, Tim Wilson – Federal Liberal Member for Goldstein, Zoe Daniel and the Stronger Communities Program, we’re thrilled to launch our next CFRA Shock Station® right here on the bay.

Installed by Paul just in time for the Kieser Great Bayside Swim tomorrow, this Shock Station® now joins those already active at the Elwood Beach Shack and Elwood Bathers—ready and waiting should a cardiac arrest occur.

🫀 Coming soon: Free public CPR training at Brighton Baths, helping establish the next CFRA Cardiac Arrest GoodSAM Team, fully integrated with 000 / Ambulance Victoria.

If you’d like to host or sponsor a Shock Station®, first aid training, or life-saving equipment, we’d love to hear from you.
