CPR awareness and performance remain low in our community.
When someone suffers a cardiac arrest or heart attack—whether in public or at home—their survival heavily depends on bystanders stepping up to administer urgent, potentially life-saving CPR.
Statistics show that 95% of the time, CPR is performed on someone the rescuer knows or loves—this could be a family member, a colleague, or a friend.
Administering CPR can drastically improve survival rates.
It could be your hands that make the difference.

Our Story
Graeme Tulloch, a secondary school teacher in Mildura, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while cycling on Walnut Avenue.
Bystanders performed CPR for eight minutes, saving his life. Inspired by his near-death experience and the passing of Shane Warne, Graeme decided to promote CPR awareness.
Understanding that 95% of CPR cases involve someone known to the rescuer, he made it his mission to offer free CPR training. Teaming up with his friend Phil Kettle—who also lost a loved one to cardiac arrest—they founded Hands on Heart Australia.
Supported by the Mildura Lions Club, Angela Izard First Aid, and local sponsors, this non-profit provides free CPR training to the community, with a strong focus on educating children.

Our Mission
Hands-on Heart Australia, a community initiative by the Mildura Lions Club, is dedicated to improving survival rates for individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest in Mildura and surrounding areas.
