Defib For Life

At Defib For Life, our mission is to get defibrillators installed in every sporting club, community facility, school and workplace across Australia ❤️.

There may be a #defibrillator in your #school building, but what about the bus. Many kids are travelling daily by bus. Whether that’s their morning/afternoon commute or an excursion or camp.

Protect the students, teachers, parents and the driver. AEDs are fully transportable.

On average 17 Victorians have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each day. Their chances of surviving decrease 10% every minute they don’t receive CPR and defibrillation. If you’re first-aid qualified, join us and help us save lives. https://t.co/IhDe7ZvcR5

Paramedic students from the Charles-Sturt University Port Macquarie campus organize a fundraising ball to raise money to place #AEDs in Port Macquarie and raise awareness about sudden cardiac arrest. #SCA #AEDsSaveLives ZOLLAEDPlus https://t.co/UWg1dWRbwb

Customer who survived sudden cardiac arrest while lunching at a café donates a ZOLL #AED Plus to the cafe where he collapsed. "There's no risk in trying to use these machines. The only outcome is that you might save a life.” #ZOLLAED Plus #AEDsSaveLives https://t.co/YjKrXlCI2T

AEDs don't Save Lives - People with AEDs do ❤️

The GoodSAM community has mapped over 40,000 Public Access AEDs across the globe - including Australia.

Make sure your AED is registered.

In 2015 around 33,000 Australian lives were lost to #CardiacArrest in comparison to 100 fatalities caused by fire. It's a requirement that every workplace has an extinguisher, yet it's alarming that it's not a requirement to have a #defibrillator installed. 🚑🏥

30 years ago Tim suffered a cardiac arrest. He was cared for by paramedic Ian Smith. Shortly after the case, Tim’s mother, Jan, wrote Ian a heartfelt letter of thanks. Today, 30 years later, Ian and Tim will reunite to celebrate Thank a Paramedic Day. https://t.co/n0oaUJEKMh

[Defib For Life @DefibFor]

It's Thank A #Paramedic Day 🚑

If you didn't know our Founder of Defib For Life, Andrew White, was a Victorian MICA paramedic.

Here's to all the brave men and women out there who bring our #communities love, care, respect and assistance in times of need.

#ThanksAmbos ❤️

An important problem. If an AED is registered with @AmbulanceVic the team who look after AEDs and @GoodSamApp follow up the registered contact annually to ensure maintained. Programs like @DefibFor help small communities by maintaining for 8yrs

Almost two dozen lives have been saved thanks to "good samaritan" smartphone alert which dispatches bystanders with first aid training to nearby cardiac emergencies.

[Defib For Life @DefibFor]

You've purchased an #AED, what now? 🤔

Make sure the AED forms part of the operations of your premises, e.g Fire Evacuation, #FirstAid response, risk assessments, training & induction programs.

More to come.
