Learn to Save a Life: Restart a Heart Day at PARC ❤️

Join us on Saturday, October 12th, for Restart a Heart Day, a vital community event that raises awareness about cardiac arrest and empowers people with lifesaving CPR skills. Hosted by Monash University, this event will bring together children, adults, and healthcare professionals to help build a safer, more prepared community.

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest? Most cardiac arrests happen in the home, so learning how to act fast could save the life of someone you love. Restart a Heart day will teach you how to respond in just three simple steps: CALL, PUSH, SHOCK.

Drop by PARC on Saturday morning between 9am – 11am to learn from paramedics and paramedic students, who will be on hand to guide you through these critical steps and boost your confidence in delivering CPR. Every minute counts when restarting a heart – let’s work together to improve survival rates!

At 72, Roberta (Robbie) Halstead is defying expectations and showing that strength truly knows no age. After years in Powerzone, Robbie switched to Small Group Training (SGT) with a goal to get stronger – and the results have been incredible.

With the support of her PTs and the structured PARC Fit App, Robbie has gained the strength and confidence to tackle heavy lifting, including impressively being able to barbell lift 90% of her body weight, and has also improved her stamina.

We are so proud of her achievements and progress! 💪

Want to know more about her inspiring journey?
