Heart Safe Farm - Saving lives on farms across Australia

Heart Safe Farm

Introducing our "Heart Safe Farm" initiative – a life-saving program designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to act swiftly and effectively in the event of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) outside of hospital settings.

This initiative focuses on three critical steps that can significantly increase the chances of survival during such emergencies. Moreover, it highlights the indispensable role of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in saving lives, particularly in the agricultural heartlands of Australia.

Join us in making every farm across the nation a safer place, where every second counts and every action can mean the difference between life and death. 

Is Your Farm Situated Beyond a 3 to 5-Minute Reach from Emergency Services?

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

That’s 575 Australians suffering a SCA every week and

ONLY 1 out of 10 WILL SURVIVE!

  • On average, only 10% of SCA victims in Australia survive

  • It can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone… even fit young athletes

  • Early defibrillation is the single most effective treatment for SCA

  • Defibrillation within three minutes of collapse can increase the chance of survival to over 70%

The Facts

5 reasons why farms in Australia should have defibrillators available in case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests:

  1. Remote Locations: Many farms in Australia are situated in remote areas where access to immediate medical assistance is limited. The distance from medical facilities can significantly delay emergency services' response times, making it critical for farms to have defibrillators on-site to provide immediate support in case of cardiac arrests.

  2. Critical Time Factor: For a person experiencing a cardiac arrest, the chances of survival decrease by 10% with each passing minute without defibrillation. Having a defibrillator readily available on farms can ensure prompt defibrillation, which is essential for increasing the survival rate in such emergencies.

  3. Limited Access to Emergency Services: Given the vastness of the Australian countryside, emergency medical services may take longer to reach rural and isolated farm locations compared to urban areas. A defibrillator on the premises can bridge the gap before professional medical help arrives.

  4. Physical Demands of Farm Work: Farm work can be physically demanding and stressful, potentially increasing the risk of cardiac events among farm workers. The presence of a defibrillator can provide a safety net for workers, ensuring that immediate action can be taken in case of sudden cardiac arrests.

  5. Community Support: Farms are often central to local rural communities, and having a defibrillator available not only benefits the farm workers but can also be a critical resource for the wider community. It enhances overall safety and preparedness for cardiac emergencies within rural areas.

By equipping farms with defibrillators and providing training on their use, it's possible to significantly improve the chances of survival in the event of cardiac arrests, ultimately saving lives in Australia's remote and rural settings.

Save Lives on your Farm with our Heart Safe Farm Program

Are YOU READY, WILLING and ABLE to potentially SAVE a LIFE on your own Farm?

Our Heart Safe Home Farm Program initiative was created to raise awareness and education about the very important 3-STEPS to potentially save a life during a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) out-of-hospital and about the vital function that defibrillators (AED) can perform in potentially saving lives on farms 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 re-start the heart if required.

Whether you are familiar with the 3-Steps to save a life and already have a defibrillator or AED, join our Heart Safe Farm program initiative to make sure you and the people in your community are READY, WILLING and ABLE to help in potentially very stressful life and death situations.
