Defibrillator Locations
A defibrillator is a life-saving device used to treat a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a condition that occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops pumping.
The defibrillator analyses the heart rhythm and recognises abnormalities. The machine will decide whether a shock is required to be delivered to the casualty or not. A defibrillator is commonly known as an AED (automated external defibrillator) or a ‘defib.’

In a cardiac emergency, the first priorities are to call Triple Zero (000) to activate an ambulance dispatch and start CPR compressions. The Triple Zero (000) call-taker can provide directions to the nearest AED if other bystanders are available to fetch an AED.
Publicly accessible AEDs should be registered on the South Australian AED registry so they can be found and used in a cardiac emergency. For further information or to register a AED visit the SA Ambulance Service AED register page.
If you are aware of a premises that has an AED but is not listed, please contact Council on 8580 3000 or email council@rpc.sa.gov.au and we will update accordingly.
