Council Maintained Defibrillators (AEDs)

Dial triple zero (000) and ask for an ambulance if someone has had a cardiac arrest.

Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are battery-powered, portable devices used in emergencies involving cardiac arrest. While there are many AEDs located throughout the Shire, Council is not responsible for maintaining all of them.

Register your AED on the NSW Ambulance GoodSAM AED Registry. 

Register an AED

GoodSAM

GoodSAM is integrated with the NSW Ambulance Triple Zero (000) dispatch system and connects volunteers to patients in the critical first minutes of a cardiac arrest until paramedics arrive.

If you are willing and able to perform CPR, and are aged 18 or older, you can sign up to receive alerts when someone needs help.

GoodSAM will also show you any publicly accessible defibrillators that have been registered with GoodSAM, and you can use these if you feel able. Last year, a global network of 1.5 million GoodSAM volunteers helped save the life of a cardiac arrest patient on average every three minutes.

By registering as a GoodSAM volunteer, you can help keep them alive, while paramedics arrive.
