Re-Start A Heart Day is an annual international initiative to bring awareness to the importance of learning CPR skills and increasing access to AEDs in the global community. This year Re-Start A Heart Day falls on October 16th. For this year’s Re-Start A Heart Day, FAAE are pledging $50.00 for every Defibrillator sold at our online Defibrillator Shop between the week of October 12th – 19th 2020. These donations will help save lives throughout Australia.
As we are facing this international health crisis with the COVID-19 coronavirus, we have looked very seriously at facilitating courses in the current health environment and implemented strict hygiene protocols. We would like to inform you that our public and onsite first aid courses are still running.
Sudden cardiac arrest is unpredictable and can happen to even fit and healthy individuals. This is why we encourage all workplaces, schools and any other kind of public space to seriously consider having a defib readily available to be used in the event of an emergency. This recommendation also applies to sporting clubs and recreation centres.
As it’s becoming more apparent of how essential it is to invest in a defibrillator, we want to ensure more people have a solid understanding when it comes to defibs! We’ve put together a summary of a few fun facts that you might not know about defibs.
Here at First Aid Accident & Emergency, we make it our mission to provide education surrounding defibrillators, including what they’re used for and how they work.

A few weeks ago we reported on Yellow Wiggle, Greg Page, who suffered a cardiac arrest after performing at a bushfire relief concert in Sydney. Thanks to quick-thinking bystanders who were trained in CPR and a public access HeartSine defibrillator, Page survived the incident and he recently released a statement about the experience.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) has the potential to strike at any moment—individuals of all ages and health levels are at risk of suffering a cardiac arrest. With more people making the worthwhile investment of purchasing a defib, we’ve decided to create a summary to outline some of the defibrillator basics that everyone should know.
