Modern defibrillators (AEDs) are designed so that anyone can use them — no medical background required. Here’s what makes today’s AEDs so accessible:
- Easy to use — every AED talks you through the process step by step, from pad placement to shock delivery. You don’t need to diagnose anything; the device does it for you.
- Safe — you cannot shock someone who doesn’t need it. The AED analyses the heart rhythm and will only deliver a shock if it detects a shockable rhythm.
- Affordable — quality TGA-approved AEDs start from around $1,500, with complete packages from $1,850. Browse our full range.
- Lightweight and portable — most public-access AEDs weigh between 1–3 kg and fit in a carry case, a wall cabinet, or a vehicle bracket.
- Minimal maintenance — regular self-tests run automatically. Pads and batteries need replacing on schedule, and annual professional servicing through our Defib HealthCheck™ programme keeps your device rescue-ready.
Having a defibrillator nearby is a bit like an insurance policy — you hope you’ll never need it, but if Sudden Cardiac Arrest strikes, it could be the difference between life and death. Without defibrillation, the chance of survival drops by 10% for every minute that passes. With an AED used in the first few minutes, survival rates can reach up to 74%.
A defibrillator could help you save the life of a partner, parent, child, colleague, friend — or a complete stranger. Can you put a price on that?
Did you know? In South Australia, AEDs are now mandatory in many public buildings under new legislation, with penalties up to $20,000 for non-compliance. Thinking about upgrading an older unit? Check out our trade-in programme — we offer up to $250 toward a new device.
