Westpac's on a mission to keep Kiwis safe this summer by encouraging us all to know CPR.
Our research shows that only 18% of Kiwis would be comfortable performing CPR if it was needed. So, Westpac is launching the Rescue Rashie; a rash vest that has CPR instructions built in and has developed resources to help us all refresh our CPR knowledge.
Westpac Rescue Rashies come in 4 sizes, from 2 to 8 years old and you can support your local Chopper by buying one with $15 going to the Chopper.
It only takes minutes for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to get to the site of an emergency.
But when someone is drowning, every second counts.
Being able to perform CPR while emergency services are on the way can dramatically increase the chance of survival.
And that's why Westpac are passionate about all Kiwis feeling confident in performing CPR. To help you stay prepared wherever you go, check out our range of CPR resources below.
