Bystander CPR means CPR performed by someone who is not a healthcare professional. It’s a crucial skill anyone can learn to save lives in emergencies. Immediate action can double or triple a person’s chances of survival, reduce the risk of brain damage, and improve the likelihood of full recovery in sha Allah.
AED training teaches individuals how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to help someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed to be user-friendly, with voice prompts and visual instructions to guide the user through the process.
Develop confidence and knowledge to act quickly and effectively in various life-threatening situations.
Acquire techniques to assist individuals who are choking, including both adults and infants.
Lifesaver is a global initiative of FIMA (Federation of Islamic Medical Associations) uniting healthcare professionals and serving local communities by providing life-saving skills in mosques and Islamic centres.
AIMA has been conducting Lifesaver programs in Australia for several years, witnessing significant community engagement and expansion to reach more rural, regional, and metropolitan locations than ever before.
Muslim Healthcare workers are encouraged to become an AIMA member and join hundreds of volunteers across Australia and millions across the globe in the Lifesavers Program.
LifeSavers benefits all Australians by teaching essential life-saving skills that can be used in any emergency. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what your background is—cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, and these skills are universal.
Mosques are central to many communities, and they’re welcoming spaces for everyone. By holding the events in mosques, we’re not only offering a vital service but also helping build bridges between different communities in Australia and especially reaching out to CALD communities.
Most cardiac arrests—8 out of 10—happen at home, and sadly, 9 out of 10 victims don’t survive. Every minute that goes by without CPR reduces the chance of survival by 10%. So, knowing how to act quickly can truly make the difference between life and death.
A cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly stops beating, which cuts off blood flow to the brain and organs. A heart attack is a blockage of blood flow to the heart but doesn’t always lead to cardiac arrest. The survival rate for a heart attack is much higher, but cardiac arrest needs immediate action—like CPR.
LifeSavers is for everyone—men, women, young, old, Muslim, and non-Muslim. We encourage anyone who wants to learn how to save a life to join us. You don’t need any prior experience, and we keep the sessions simple and easy to follow.
Our inspiration comes from the Quran, which says, “Whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.” We’re driven by our faith to help others, but LifeSavers isn’t just about Muslims—it’s about serving the broader Australian community and equipping everyone with life-saving skills.
Most events are held in local mosques, as these are comfortable spaces for many people in our community, especially those from culturally diverse backgrounds. We also invite non-Muslims to join—it’s a great way to learn life-saving skills and build community ties.
Yes! In addition to CPR, we also teach how to use a defibrillator and manage choking emergencies. These are essential skills that can save lives in the critical moments before professional help arrives.
AIMA is all about helping the community and providing healthcare services. LifeSavers fits perfectly with our mission to serve everyone in need. Whether it’s teaching CPR or offering healthcare to refugees, we’re committed to improving the health and well-being of all Australians.
