🚑 WHAT A WEEKEND FOR ILLAWARRA URGENT RESPONSE! 🚑
It’s been a huge weekend for the team at Illawarra Urgent Response, with our crews out across the region supporting local sport, keeping participants and spectators safe, and making sure we’re ready to respond when needed.
🏉 FRIDAY NIGHT — JUNIOR AFL GRAND FINAL | BOMADERRY
Friday night saw our team heading south to Bomaderry, supporting our friends at the AFL for their Junior Grand Final.
We’re very pleased to report nil first aid incidents throughout the game, with our crew able to enjoy some fantastic junior footy from the sidelines!
It was great to see all teams displaying outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork and respect throughout the evening.
A massive congratulations to every player who took to the field, as well as the coaches, officials, volunteers, families and supporters who helped make the Grand Final such a great event. 👏🏉
📦 SATURDAY — RESTOCK, RESET & READY TO GO
Saturday may not have had our crews deployed at an event, but there was still plenty happening behind the scenes.
Our team spent the day completing a comprehensive stocktake, equipment inspection and restock, getting everything reset following Friday night’s deployment and preparing for a very busy Sunday.
First aid consumables were replenished, response bags reorganised, oxygen and resuscitation equipment checked, AEDs inspected and operational equipment prepared for deployment.
Because being ready to respond doesn’t start when the first aid call comes through — it starts long before the event gates open.
🐎🏉 SUNDAY — TWO TEAMS, TWO EVENTS, ONE BIG DAY!
Sunday saw two Illawarra Urgent Response teams deployed simultaneously across the Shoalhaven.
🏉 Team One once again joined our friends at the AFL, this time supporting their Junior Championships and providing dedicated first aid coverage throughout the event.
A massive thank you to Apex Response for assisting us with today’s Crew coverage and helping us support another fantastic community sporting event.
🐎 Team Two headed to Berry Riding Club, providing first aid coverage for their Show Jumping Championships.
Equestrian events present their own unique risks, so our crew was positioned and prepared throughout the day to respond to incidents involving riders, officials, volunteers or spectators if required.
From the footy field to the show jumping arena, it’s certainly been a busy weekend — and that’s exactly what our crews prepare for.
💙 THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US
