E-Petition – Mandatory CPR

RLSS Australian Resuscitation Club member Jamie Martin has successfully launched a Queensland Parliament E-petition requesting the House to prioritise the consideration and implementation of a system of mandatory accreditation and annual training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for all residential properties.

This includes any residential property where there is a pool, including new builds, existing dwellings and rental properties where there is an existing pool, or pool to be installed.

Whilst pool fence regulations are there to save children from outside the pool, the requirement for formal mandatory accreditation in CPR training will enhance the ability to ensure the safety of children once inside the pool.

As an organisation dedicated to drowning prevention, Royal Life Saving Queensland urges all Queenslanders to consider signing this e-petition.
