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 Fitness Environment with our Heart Safe Fitness Program

Our Heart Safe Fitness Program is to raise awareness and education of the vital function that defibrillators can perform in potentially saving lives in Fitness Environments 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 Fitness 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 Fitness programs to make sure you and the people in your Fitness Environment are READY for such potentially very stressful life and death situation.
