Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Knows NO Boundaries!

In Australia approximately 30,000 people sustain a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) out-of-hospital and are treated by emergency medical services (EMS) each year.

That’s 575 Australians suffering a SCA every week and ONLY 1 out of 10 WILL SURVIVE!

Save Lives in Your Environment & Workplace with our Heart Safe Environment Program

Our Heart Safe Environment Program is to raise awareness and education of the vital function that defibrillators can perform in potentially saving lives in different local environments and workplaces across Australia.  

Defibrillators are basically a "Doctor in a box" analysing the patient's condition and providing guidance for CPR and importantly shocking the patient to restart the heart if required.

JOIN our Heart Safe Environment program to be guided and supported to make sure you and the people around you are READY, WILLING and ABLE to potentially save a life in case of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) out-of-hospital. 

Whether you are familiar with the 3-Steps to save a life and already have a defibrillator or AED,  join our Heart Safe Environment programs to make sure you and the people in your local environments and workplaces are READY for such potentially very stressful life and death situation.
