Incredibly proud to announce Monash University Hockey Club now has a defibrillator!
Thanks to CFA (Country Fire Authority), in partnership with St John Ambulance Australia, our club will be better prepared to manage a medical emergency.
According to australianfirstaid.com.au, if you apply a measured shock to a person’s heart, suffering a lethal rhythm within the first minute, they have a 70% chance of survival. Having a defibrillator on hand will increase our chances of saving someone’s life during a sudden cardiac arrest.
We love hockey. But we love our hockey community, family, friends and dogs more, so we’re very excited to be (r)amping* up the safety around our Club.
* Hope you enjoyed that tasty pun.
