Residents from Bridgewater Lifestyle Village have made a generous donation allowing St John WA to donate a defibrillator and cabinet. The new defib is located outside Tods Café in Halls Head, and will be accessible 24/7. It's also directly across the road from the beach with the Mandurah Ski & Kayak club just down the road, meaning the wider community can also benefit from this lifesaving device. Some residents even got a demonstration from First Aid Specialist Meg on how to use a defib to help save a life. https://brnw.ch/21wWPed
