ST John Ambulance Australia has
launched a new first aid campaign
titled ‘Learn First Aid Today - Everything
Else Can Wait’, designed to
encourage Aussies to learn first aid.
The campaign utilises examples
of people who have used their first
aid skills to save a life, and also
cites testomony from Aussies whose
lives have been saved by people
with first aid experience.
According to St John, at present,
only 8% of the population has a first
aid certificate, with the main reason
for people not obtaining a
certificate being that their day to
day lives simply get too busy to
undertake extra studies.
