Australian Resuscitation Council

The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) develops guidelines and training standards for emergency response, particularly for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid. Its goal is to improve survival outcomes during cardiac or respiratory emergencies through evidence-based practices. The ARC provides training programs, resources, and recommendations for healthcare providers, first responders, and the public to ensure timely and effective assistance. By standardizing emergency care protocols across Australia, the ARC helps ensure consistent, high-quality responses to save lives and support recovery during critical incidents.
