Ambulance Victoria Call Push Shock

About
Call Push Shock
The *Call Push Shock* program is designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to respond confidently in a cardiac emergency. This program addresses common barriers to assisting someone in need, providing clear instructions on how to take immediate action: *Call* Triple Zero (000), *Push* hard and fast on the patient’s chest, and *Shock* their heart using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
The program uses an interactive heart prop and information mat to engage communities, emphasising the critical importance of CPR and early defibrillation. Participants will gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how to potentially save a life in an emergency.
We also offer an editable poster upon request for the *Call Push Shock* course, which can be customised and shared to help generate interest and encourage more people to get involved in this vital life-saving initiative.
