Schools and Childcare
Children are particularly vulnerable to choking and this is one of the main reasons for hospital admissions. Schools and childcare centres across Australia have installed LifeVac®.
LifeVac Australia is lobbying to have the LifeVac® available in all schools as standard emergency equipment.
Disability care
Without question one of the highest choking risk sections of the community is those living with a disability. Carers and families can face both an increased frequency of choking episodes and reduced access to the person to be able to apply usual first-aid measures.
Government Departments
The Queensland Department of Treaty, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partnerships, Culture and the Arts, has rolled out LifeVac® across the state.
