Most school zones are in operation between 8am-9.30am and 2.30pm-4pm around schools Monday to Friday. Slow down and look out for children crossing. Please check signs for school zone hours.
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:
Up to three GoodSAM volunteers receive an alert, and an ambulance is dispatched.
As a GoodSAM volunteer, you choose whether to accept or reject the alert.
If you accept the alert, the app tells you where to find the patient and the location of any nearby Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), which you can collect on your way.
Go to the patient and start CPR until paramedics arrive and take over.
Signing up is easy. Register as a volunteer, download the app, and sign in.

The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO) was established in 2016 to advocate for, and give assistance to, small business and family enterprises. This includes assistance with disputes.
The independent review considers whether the ASBFEO’s functions and operations are effective, and further feedback is being sought through a survey.
The survey will help the Independent Reviewer to ensure the ASBFEO is meeting the needs of the small business community.
Small businesses, family enterprises, the franchising sector and their representatives are invited to provide feedback through the survey. The survey closes on 31 March 2025.
