2024 School & Teacher First Aid Education & Compliance Guide

AEDs

Overview Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at anytime, anywhere. Both children and adults can experience cardiac arrest without any pre-existing conditions, making it vital for educational institutions to be prepared with the essential training and equipment to manage this situation. Early CPR and early access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) are vital for providing a chance at survival.

Lifesaving legislation: SA leads the way

The South Australian Government has taken a momentous step towards safeguarding lives by passing the Automated External Defibrillators (Public Access) Act 2022, introduced by Hon Frank Pangallo MLC. 6 Under this legislation, public buildings and select private properties must install Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), ensuring greater preparedness in the face of cardiac arrest emergencies. Schools, libraries, sports facilities, retirement villages, and larger commercial buildings are all included in this vital requirement.

Survival rates for cardiac arrest victims can be significantly improved with the presence of AEDs. St John SA stands ready to assist you in meeting these defibrillator requirements. Protect your community and demonstrate your commitment to safety, because every second counts. Scan the QR code to view the legislation.
