​Refresh on topics below! ​
Picture of a cartoon ambulance and a map of Australian states. Text says In Australia only the Northern Territory has legislation that requires a duty to rescue by any person without a duty of care. In that jurisdiction, any person who callously fails to provide rescue, resuscitation, medical treatment, first aid or succour of any kind to a person urgently in need of it and whose life may be endangered is guilty of a crime and is liable to imprisonment for 7 years (Criminal Code Act 2014, s155).
A ‘Good Samaritan’ is defined in legislation as a person acting without expecting financial or other
reward for providing assistance.

Have you been a GOOD SAMARITAN ❓❓❓💯😍🥰😘
Picture of a lady laying on the grass face down with text above the picture which says.It is reasonable to roll a face-down unresponsive person onto their back to assess airway and breathing and initiate resuscitation. [Class B; Expert consensus opinion] Concern for protecting the neck should not hinder the evaluation process or lifesaving procedures
Picture of the heart & text saying, Fainting is usually a brief loss of consciousness with a full recovery pretty much immediately. People may experience blurry or tunnel vision, sweating & nausea prior, due to the lack of oxygen to the brain, while standing or sitting. Once they are laying down or have fallen the blood returns to the brain & they regain consciousness.
Picture of two people helping a casualty laying on a footpath and text saying, A rescuer should move a person when needed to: 	ensure the safety of both rescuer and the person in need  	protect from extreme weather conditions  	enable evacuation from difficult terrain 	enable the care of airway and breathing (e.g. turning the unconscious breathing person onto the side or turning a collapsed person onto their back to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation)  	enable the control of severe bleeding.
Picture of a sign on a beach & text saying, if you were on the beach what would you tell the 000/112 call taker, so they know where you are? Here is a sign spotted on Kingscliff beach NW! Now that would help a lot. sign says KIN. 10
The condition of a collapsed or injured person may be made worse by movement, increasing pain, injury, blood loss and shock. But a person lying in a hazardous area, for example on a road or railway, may need to be moved to ensure safety.
 cartoon Picture of someone slipping who was carrying a box text says, common work injuries are slips & falls. Take care when lifting or moving something & keep a lookout for liquids on the floor!
Picture of a car that has hit a push bike, text says, One type of accident you never want to have to assist at. Start with your Action Plan D anger, R esponse, S end for help, A irways, B reathing, C ompression, D efibrillator .
Unconscious person breathing normally management
Unconsciousness is a state of unrousable, unresponsiveness, where the person is unaware of their surroundings & no
purposeful response can be obtained 😟😥
Picture of tongue relaxing when casualty is unconscious
​An unconscious casualty laying on their back may experience relaxation of the muscles & an inability to keep the airways open, due to the tongue falling to the soft pallet. This is why we always place them in a side or recovery position if they are breathing normally.
