At Ambulance Victoria (AV), we are passionate about providing education to the community around topics such as:
- When to call for an ambulance.
- How to call for an ambulance.
- What other ways to receive care are available.
- How and when to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
- How and when to use an automated external defibrillator (AED).

These programs also help to:
- Empower people to know what to do in medical emergencies.
- Build health literacy.
- Teach people how to avoid some medical emergencies.
- Teach people how to provide life-saving CPR.
