In 1990 Kerry Packer, Aus media mogul suffered a cardia arrest and was revived by paramedics with an onboard defib), after which he funded the placement of defibrillators in all NSW ambulances, leading to their nickname "Packer Whackers".

What to do when you see a snake 🐍

As Australia heads into summer, many snake species are emerging from brumation and becoming more active. This means you may be more likely to encounter one.

If you do, WIRES recommends simply backing away and giving the snake plenty of space.

The vast majority of Australian snake species avoid direct encounters with humans when there is an escape route available to them.

If a snake has found its way into your home, we recommend moving all people, children and pets into another room. If it is safe to do so, isolate the snake in its current room and place towels along the bottom of the door.

Do not attempt to handle a snake yourself. Instead, contact WIRES on 1300 094 737 or complete our Report a Rescue form on our website.

Imagine a world where we all have the skills, knowledge and confidence to help someone experiencing a mental health problem.

Over the last 20 years, on average, there were 30 confirmed su***des at the Golden Gate Bridge every year.
In 2024, one year after a physical su***de net barrier was completed, there were eight su***des at the Bridge, reducing the annual number of su***des by 73%

Talking about su***de is just one of many important topics covered in MHFA.

Anyone can and should have the skills to be a Mental health first aider.
