Parents offered free CPR training to help prevent drowning tragedies

Every year, dozens of young children lose their lives in drowning accidents, often in seconds, often at home. This June, Australian parents and carers have a rare opportunity to access free online CPR training designed to equip them with vital life-saving skills. 

Thanks to a powerful partnership between Kids Alive, Royal Life Saving WA and supported by Belgravia Leisure, The Heart Beat Club’s online CPR program is available free for the entire month of June, but places are limited. 

Delivered 100% online, this easy-to-follow course is specifically designed for parents, grandparents and carers of babies and toddlers. It offers practical, simple training that anyone can complete from home with no prior medical experience required.

Why this matters: 

• Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in young Australian children.
• Most drowning incidents happen at home, in bathtubs, pools, even buckets.
• Immediate CPR can double or triple a child’s chances of survival.
• In an emergency, every second counts.

“Knowing CPR and first aid empowers parents and carers to act confidently and swiftly when it matters most,” says Cheryl McLennan, National Product & Development Manager at Belgravia Leisure. “These are vital skills that could one day help save the life of someone you love.”

Belgravia Academy is also committed to making CPR and first aid education accessible for everyone. While The Heart Beat Club provides a fantastic free online starting point for parents and carers of young children, Belgravia Academy also offers a wide range of nationally recognised CPR, first aid and aquatic rescue courses for individuals, families, workplaces and communities who wish to build deeper skills and preparedness.

“As parents and carers, your love comes with the vital responsibility to be ready. So don’t wait for a scare to take action. This is your opportunity to learn the basics, build your confidence and be prepared for the unexpected,” Cheryl concluded. 

Be ready and take action today. Enrol in your free online CPR course and join a growing movement of families committed to keeping their little ones safe, at home and beyond.
