What is the correct order to do CPR (Australia)?

The Australian CPR sequence prioritises compressions early to maintain circulation:

• Check for Danger
• Check for a Response
• Send for help by calling 000
• Open the Airway
• Check for Breathing
• Begin CPR: 30 compressions to 2 breaths
• Apply Defibrillator when available

This order—known as DRSABCD—is supported by evidence-based research and endorsed by the Australian Resuscitation Council.
