Contact your local federal MP and ask them to support Zaza's Law and get it passed 2. Phone Baby Bunting (or your local baby store/franchise) to ask if they stock LifeVac, and ask them to stock it if they don't 3. Reach out to your local school, sports club, shopping centre, creche/daycare centre, etc. and ask them if they have a LifeVac device as part of their first aid kit. And encourage them to research and purchase a LifeVac device, if they haven't 4.
