Adult CPR Awareness Sessions
Do you know what to do in an emergency?
Ipswich City Council offers free CPR awareness sessions for adults to help teach life-saving skills. A young child is four times more likely to survive a near drowning if parents/guardians or bystanders know CPR and it is performed immediately.
A child or toddler can drown within 20 seconds, in as little as 50mm of water. A child drowning is silent. Knowing the basics of CPR could help save a life!
See the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Fact Sheet (PDF, 72.6 KB) for a few steps that need to be followed.
Adult CPR Awareness Sessions have been designed for adults aged 18+ years.
- These sessions are offered under Ipswich City Council’s SEAL Pool Safety Program
- Each session runs for one hour and is delivered by Queensland Ambulance Service
- Bookings are essential as places are limited
- Note that these sessions do not provide a CPR qualification upon completion.
This program is primarily for Ipswich residents.
The next Adult CPR Awareness Sessions will be held in May/June 2025. Be the first to hear when bookings open for Adult CPR Awareness Sessions by joining our mailing list.
