Shocktober

Free CPR training across Aotearoa New Zealand 

Every October, Hato Hone St John runs Shocktober, a nationwide campaign teaching thousands of New Zealanders how to save a life. 

Through free, one-hour 3 Steps for Life sessions, you’ll learn CPR and how to use an AED (defibrillator), giving you the confidence to act quickly if someone suffers a cardiac arrest. During Shocktober, Hato Hone St John and MAS aim to educate more than 15,000 Kiwis with these lifesaving skills. 

How MAS is supporting

• sharing stories of the impact and value of the programme 

• encouraging Members, communities and our people to take part in local sessions
