Bringing more than 40 years corporate training and executive leadership experience I am passionate about increasing the capacity of the Australian community to provide initial assistance for First Aid, Mental Health problems and associated crises. As a First Aid Trainer and Assessor and a Master Mental Health First Aid Instructor I offer years of knowledge and experience in emergency services serving New South Wales Police Force, Beach Lifeguard and volunteer lifesaver.
My career has been focused around service all my life and I draw from my studies, personal life, voluntary work and employment within a crisis and suicide prevention. A first responder as a Beach lifeguard/ Volunteer lifesaver and Police Officer, I have personal anxiety, depression, stress, loss and destruction having experienced and been involved in many critical incidents where I personally required first aid and counseling.
My own real-life battle with witnessing daily trauma in my employement and in the society I was serving gave me a first-hand experience as to how to provide empathetic support to my community.

CRASH COURSE TO SAVE A LIFE
For most pepole, the last time they did a first aid or CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) course was in high school. Under the First Aid Code of Practice workplaces are required to take a CPR refresher course every 12 months as part of our professional education. If you're the first responder and someone is unconscious, would you know what to do? You don't need to be a doctor to be a lifesaver. About 15,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in Australia each year, so being prepared could be a matter of life or death.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CPR
-
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of techniques, including chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing, with the aim of keeping blood circulating to deliver oxygen to the brain until definitive treatment can stimulate the heart to start pumping again.
-
Effective bystander CPR provided
-
immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim's chance of survival, but only 32 per cent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander because so many people in the community either don't feel confident providing CPR, or have not had training in what to do.
-
Even if you are not an expert, doing
-
something is better than doing nothing.
-
Cardiac or chest compressions are the priority in CPR. If you don't want to do mouth-to-mouth, just the chest compressions may still be life-saving.
-
Certain types of cardiac arrest only respond effectively to defibrillation and if delivered quickly, up to 75 per cent can survive. Success declines at a rate of 10 per cent with each minute delayed.
-
CPR techniquesfor babies and children are different to techniques used for adults .
WHERE YOU CAN GO FOR TRAINING
Reading about how to do CPR or watching it on the internet is no substitute for hands-on training. There are nationally recognised courses available where you can learn what to do if you are faced with a cardiac arrest.
