Great progress in the campaign to save lives #defibsforall

Date time 16 December, 2015

This week NSW Premier Mike Baird announced that old and outdated laws will be overturned to ensure all NSW schools can purchase life saving defibrillators. This is a significant step forward in the campaign being led by our very own Professor Chris Semsarian. Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign and signed our petitions. Soon we hope to see defibrillators in all NSW schools!
