An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a device that uses electricity to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm when a person is suffering a cardiac arrest.

These computerised defibrillators automatically analyse heart rhythms and administer a shock if an abnormal rhythm is detected.

As the process is automated, the person using the defibrillator does not require medical training in order to provide assistance. This can save vital minutes in a medical emergency and help more people to survive a cardiac arrest.

If somebody is unresponsive and not breathing, call an ambulance on triple zero (000), send someone for the nearest defibrillator and start CPR. Use the defibrillator as soon as possible and continue CPR until an ambulance arrives and a paramedic takes over.

AEDs are located in public and private buildings across Australia including the Clarence Valley and are commonly found in:

  • Hospitals
  • Community centres
  • Schools
  • Sports clubs and gyms
  • Shopping centres
