It was 4 months ago today that I was given a second chance because some very courageous people stepped up to use CPR and an AED to save my life. I am grateful to those ppl, and all at the scene who played a part in my survival and care. Not a day goes by I don’t think of this...
Exactly 12 months ago today, almost to this minute, I was resuscitated by my “angels” who stepped up to save my life. The Chain of Survival was put into practice so effectively by this brave bunch of bystanders. Thanks to all those who played their part!
And an honour to have you there to perform with us
@RobertIrwin
! Thanks for making that special tribute so meaningful for us and so many people who were there last night. You could feel the love for your Dad and for all of your family mate!!
What an honour to be invited to perform with
@TheWiggles
at one of their packed out OG shows! Back in the early 2000s The Wiggles teamed up with my dad to create the super popular ‘Crocodile Hunter’ song and we performed it in his honour. An incredibly fun and special night!
To everyone who has taken the time to wish me a happy birthday, a huge THANK YOU! As you will know this one is a special one, as is tomorrow- my “new” birthday, or my “re-birth day”, or the first bonus year of my new life! Thanks for all your well-wishes. 🙏👍
It was so great to have
@RobertIrwin
on stage with us last night at Brisbane Entertainment Centre to perform “Crocodile Hunter” in memory of his dad, the great Steve Irwin! Thank you Robert for being part of the show last night and this special tribute to a remarkable man!
Wiggly Safari was my absolute favourite video when I was a kid. This was one of the most special moments of my life 🥰

Im totally perplexed as to why people keep tagging me in posts to do with Covid vaccines?? Cardiac arrests existed well before Covid and vaccines for it. Whatever the cause of cardiac arrest, I want to see people survive. I don’t judge based on the cause. I want people to survive
I’m proud to be an ambassador for the Heart Foundation and to support a great cause so close to home. Join me and pledge to make heart disease history by donating to fund life-saving medical research. Because I believe, hand on heart, we can do this.
5 months ago today, I was saved because of a group of individuals who worked as a team to use the Chain of Survival to save my life. Crucial to my resuscitation was CPR and the use of an AED to shock my heart. Luckily my rhythm WAS shockable. AED's can save lives! So can CPR!
6 months ago today, I am so very fortunate to have survived a sudden cardiac arrest. Luckily for me, there were people around me who knew how to respond by performing CPR, and the venue we were performing at had an AED. We need more ppl who can do CPR, and more AED's out there!

Today I woke to the sad news that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. As Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth has been ever-present through the 50 years of my life. Our thoughts are with the Royal family as we reflect on a very full life of service.
Rest In Peace John. You were a genius at entertaining not only children, but their parents too! From a young age I watched you, not knowing I would follow in your footsteps of being a children’s entertainer.

So many people say “You should write a song about CPR” - well I have! It is CPR tempo too. It was one of the first things I did after surviving my sudden cardiac arrest. It just needs to be more-widely promoted! Check out the full song here:
In Darwin prepping for OG wiggles show and spotted this bright yellow Heart of the Nation sticker! Thanks to

for signing up to the Heart of the Nation network!
Honestly, it was when we were doing a scene with a large python- and I’m afraid of snakes and Steve knew that- so he did everything he could to make me feel comfortable- keeping the snake’s head away from me, not forcing me to touch it to overcome my fear. That really touched me!
Can I just say a huge THANK YOU to all of my followers and their friends who RT my messages about heart health and cardiac arrest! Without you amplifying my voice, it would not be as powerful! Thank you for your role in this advocacy. 🙏👏
Tonight The Wiggles were honoured to receive the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Service to Australian Music. This prestigious award is not lost on us, and we are grateful to the APRA Board for the recognition.

I think they did quite ok without me! Great version of “Elephant” - everyone did an amazing job! If I was given the opportunity, I’d love to do a Wiggly version of Delilah!! 😉😂
It's getting close to October and Restart a Heart Day and I'm so excited to announce the release of my CALL PUSH SHOCK songs for kids (and grown ups!) to help raise awareness about the Chain of Survival.
You can listen to the songs here - Enjoy!
Sudden Cardiac Arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time! Having an AED on-site shows your commitment - and Heart of the Nation wants to recognise YOU for playing your part in this fight! Become a member today - it's free, and its a sign of a standard to hold others to!

CPR may be traumatic - death is probably more traumatic! CPR and use of an AED is a vital intervention to avoid situations where people may witness a person die in front of them. Doing something gives the patient a chance to survive, as was done for me, 3 yrs ago. Grateful!
Great to see

@TheWiggles
at Dreamworld this week, and so grateful they could take some time out to pose for pics with the Heart of the Nation sticker that shows Dreamworld is a HotN member, and with one of Dreamworld’s publicly accessible AEDs in the park!
I am pleased to announce the upcoming launch of my new not for profit initiative, Heart of the Nation! Heart of the Nation is a program that enables those organisations that have an AED on site, to be recognised for providing lifesaving access to an AED!

Thank you to everyone involved in, and who watched the "Heart of the Neighbourhood, World's Largest CPR Class" - we had a massive amount of people watching at home, and many, many views on Youtube since! CPR definitely is a skill for life! Thank you all for your support.

To all Aussie Twitts! Make sure you know how to do CPR if ever needed. You don’t need to be trained or qualified- just familiar! So tune in to this special TV event on Channel 9!
Yes, Heart of the Nation is getting involved in a program where we are lobbying government to do just that. Along other groups in this field, we believe that CPR and AED use is a skill for life- literally- and should be taught from a young age so it becomes muscle memory.
Heart of the Nation is announcing "The World's Largest Virtual CPR Class"! In conjunction with Nextdoor, we are on a mission to provide free CPR and AED training to more Aussies than ever before. Register here:-

Thanks for a great series of shows across Australia and NZ. To all who were a part of the cast and crew, and to all those who came to wiggle along - THANK YOU!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
My favourite movie when I was a kid was Star Wars, which was later, retrospectively titled "A New Hope". What an incredible film this was for its time - the special FX and production techniques used were so realistic, and still stand the test of time in my opinion.
#MayThe4th
So proud to be a part of this great TV event!! Thanks to everyone involved for helping to make this happen. And thanks to all those who will watch and learn how simple it is to try and a save a life. Doing something is better than nothing!
I am very proud to acknowledge Fit Kidz Early Learning Centres as a member of the Heart of the Nation. As we know, Sudden Cardiac Arrest can strike anyone, anywhere and at any time. Please, ensure the heart safety of anyone who is on your premises, just as Fit Kidz has done.
Great to catch up with you
@jimmyjack244
! Sadly, for each one of us survivors, there are at least 9 more who don’t survive their sudden cardiac arrest! I can’t believe that. But so, so glad you made it thanks to your mates being by your side!!
Unfortunately, a Heart check on the day I had my arrest would not have revealed anything according to my doctors. The plaque was not enough to have shown up under “standard” screening. It was the vigorous activity during the show that caused the plaque to break loose and clot.
CPR is an important skill - it’s a skill for life, but all the skills and no tools? Nah- an AED is what actually will resuscitate someone in cardiac arrest - CPR PLUS AN AED can save more lives than CPR alone! Our paramedics do an incredible job, but they need us to do ours!
@GregPage_Yellow
you should sing one of your CPR songs at the wiggels reunion I know you guys have probably already picked the songs but I think if you sang keep the beat going it would help raise awareness
I was so fortunate to be in the “right place at the right time” when I had my cardiac arrest. Thank you
@lukejgosling
for shedding light on this. We need more voices like yours being heard in this forum so as to create more of the “right places at the right time” for more people!
This is how it is done!! Not only is this a good move for the community, but to also protect our finest from the perils they could face when dealing with what we don’t have to!
@jessicajorchard
thanks for sharing!
Police have rolled out Automated External Defibrillator's (AED) in 368 vehicles across the country.
Having an AED in vehicles means we can provide support to someone suffering from heart failure until the medical emergency team arrives.

Hi Jack, yes I have, and unfortunately too, I have met families of those who have lost loved ones to cardiac arrests. That’s why we need to ensure that more people survive these events- CPR and AED’s can both help increase survival!
Today is World Restart A Heart Day! Remember three simple steps to save a life:
CALL - PUSH - SHOCK! Simple, not dangerous, and so powerful! Learn more at or checkout my new song, "Keep the Beat Going", here -
Does anybody know what the record for the number of followers of an Instagram account with no posts would be? Greg_page_yellowwiggle might get there one day....unless I post soon!
I thought I was healthy because I felt fit- went to the gym (which had an AED), and exercised regularly- still, nearly died from SCA. Don’t confuse fit with heathy. Take all precautions - including knowing where your nearest AED is- check out
Wise words.
If your gym does not have an AED - you need a new gym. Fit and healthy doesn’t mean immune from SCA, and chances of survival in this setting are REALLY REALLY good IF there is an AED.

Did you know that your hands can save a life? They can! And now that you KNOW that they can, do you know HOW to? It isn't hard - you don't even need to be qualified to do it! The Australian Resuscitation Council says "Any Attempt at Resuscitation is Better Than No Attempt"!

Great to connect with Sandy Walker and Andy Messner - 2 of the amazing Ambassadors for the Heart of the Nation Communities program that helped raise the funds for an AED package for their street. A great way to start the day in Adelaide this morning! Well done!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane with all of your favourite songs everyone- and thanks
@Anthony_Wiggle
for chiming in! Loved hearing your selections and being reminded of some of those great songs that I’d forgotten existed! Stay tuned for more “What’s Your Favourite...?” 🙏
Can you be a Heart Hero and help us raise funds to place AED packages into residential areas? Each $3000 raised gets one AED package that can protect up to 200 people! Donate to our Feb fundraiser.
If someone is not responding, and not breathing, it is time to commence the Chain of Survival. Do you know the important steps in the Chain? At very least, know these three steps! It could save someone's life! Of course, the emergency number cited here is for Australia only…
Yellow signs for AEDs makes the locations stand out and differentiates from first aid locations - yellow and red have been shown in studies to be linked to better memory recall.
Today is Restart a Heart Day. This video created by demonstrates that sudden cardiac arrest doesn't only strike "old people", and that you CAN survive a sudden cardiac arrest if bystanders have the skills and tools to respond appropriately.
