🐍 Snakes are already active across SA — and the numbers are rising.

SA Ambulance Service treated 91 snake-bite patients last year, the highest number in five years. With the warm weather kicking in, snakes are now showing up across the Plains, the Hills and even suburban backyards.

If you’re walking, gardening or working outdoors, a few good reminders:
• Keep lawns and garden beds tidy
• Stick to clear paths
• Never try to catch or kill a snake
• If someone is bitten: Pressure Immobilisation Technique + call 000

Fake blood? Fun.
Real blood? Time to act. 👻

Halloween’s the one night we don’t mind a bit of fake blood — but when it’s real, knowing what to do matters.

🩹 Apply firm, direct pressure to the wound.
⬆️ If possible, raise the injured area above the heart.
🚑 Keep pressure until the bleeding stops or help arrives.
It’s simple, calm action that can save a life — no magic potion required.

Because confidence in first aid isn’t scary… it’s strength. 💚

💚 Restart a Heart Day – “Call. Push. Shock.”

When someone’s heart stops, every second counts.
Quick CPR and using a defibrillator (AED) can mean the difference between life and death.

Ever wondered what actually happens to the heart when an AED is used?

It’s a great reminder of why those three steps — Call. Push. Shock. — matter so much.

I’m sure we’ll be talking about this today at the Allens Training Conference!

Caught up with The Boss himself — Jim Allen (retired… sort of 😉).

So good to have a chat with the legend behind Allens Training and see his passion for quality training is still as strong as ever.
