Cardiac arrest is often unexpected and affects up to 9,000 people in NSW every year.
For every minute a patient doesn’t get chest compressions, also known as Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), their chances of survival fall by 7-10%.
That’s where GoodSAM comes in, an app that helps save lives by empowering the community to respond quickly when someone nearby goes into cardiac arrest.
CPR is easy and safe. You don’t need a formal qualification, and a NSW Ambulance Emergency Medical Call Taker will be on the phone to help you.
If you are willing and able to perform CPR and are 18 or older, you can sign up to receive GoodSAM alerts when someone needs help.
How GoodSAM works:
Signing up is easy. Register as a volunteer, download the app, and sign in.
Can you help to save a life? Every minute counts. Sign up to GoodSAM today.

WENTWORTH HOUSEBOAT EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM CLOSED
On the morning of 22 January 2025, a small fire occurred underneath the gangway structure at the Houseboat Effluent Disposal System in Adams Street, Wentworth.
While the fire was contained by the local Rural Fire Brigade, the gangway and underneath pipework and services was damaged. Cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
Wentworth Shire Council has had to close the system from future use until the damaged pipework and services can be repair.
Houseboat owners are directed to use the Dareton Effluent Disposal System until further notice.
