What is Aus-ROC?
The Australasian Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (Aus-ROC) aims to increase research capacity in the area of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with specific focus on improving rates of survival and outcomes for survivors.

Aus-ROC paper will enable regions to reduce OHCA risk and improve bystander response
We are pleased to see so much media interest in our latest paper: Identifying areas of Australia with high out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and low bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rates.
This research was funded by the Heart Foundation.
Grant success!
Aus-ROC investigators are delighted to have received funding from the Heart Foundation of Australia to use world-first statistical simulations to predict where changes to modifiable factors (e.g. increased rates of bystander CPT and AEDs) will lead to the greatest improvement in OHCA survival. Project outcomes will include a national implementation strategy, which will inform and direct future interventions as to what will have the greatest potential to increase survival in every Australian LGA.
