Help keep them alive, while paramedics arrive

More than 9,000 people experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in NSW every year.

For every minute a person in cardiac arrest and doesn’t receive chest compressions (CPR), their chances of survival fall by 7 to 10%.

That is why NSW Ambulance has partnered with the GoodSAM app, which alerts registered volunteers to help save a life when someone nearby goes into cardiac arrest.
