Is Your Neighbourhood MORE than 3 to 5 Minutes Away From the Emergency Services ?
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!
Also, 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in our homes!
The Facts
An average of only 9% of its victims in Australia survive!
It can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone, even 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%.
Available Defibrillators (AEDs) in Neighbourhood
80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in our homes!
Proactive Neighbourhoods across Australia are getting 2 to 10 neighbours together to become part of the Heart Safe Neighbourhood program initiative to be ABLE, WILLING and READY in case of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) out-of-hospital.
Raising awareness and education in Neighbouhoods across Australia is a very exciting movement to potentially save lives across Australia as 80% of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrests happen in homes AND ONLY 1 OUT OF 10 will survive according to statistics.
Are YOU Able, Willing and READY to help?
Save Lives in Your Neighbourhood with our Heart Safe Neighbourhood Program
Our Heart Safe Neighbourhood Program is to raise awareness and education of the vital function that defibrillators can perform in potentially saving lives in Neighbourhoods 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 Neighbourhood 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) outside a hospital.
Whether you are familiar with the 3-Steps to save a life and already have a defibrillator or AED, join our Heart Safe Home programs to make sure you and the people in your Neighbourhood are READY for such potentially very stressful life and death situation.
