If the defibrillators at your organisation are your responsibility, we keep them maintained, evidenced and working in your favour — the small adjustments that keep warranties valid, the common problems that can quietly void them, and a heads-up whenever a manufacturer recall or notice affects your model.
We come to you, assess every defibrillator on site with you, and email you a written summary of where you stand. Free, no obligation — and you keep the findings either way.

Every walk-through is done in person, so we take on a limited number of new sites each month.
Anyone can sell you a unit and walk away. The harder questions are whether it is the right unit, in the right place, checked often enough, provable to somebody who asks — and most importantly, whether it will work when it is actually needed most. That is the part we do.
Most organisations come to us at one of these three points. You can start at any of them.
An independent read on your site — not a sales visit.
We set it up once. Then it runs on your team's phones.
Plain answers, from someone who reads the source documents.
The direction of travel
You don't need to panic — broader WA venues aren't required to have one yet. But the direction is clear, and the venues that get set up now simply won't have to scramble later. Here's the picture.
Every WA public school required to have an AED on site — WA's first AED mandate.
AEDs required in Crown-owned buildings, facilities and emergency vehicles.
Extended to businesses, commercial buildings, factories and warehouses. Now in force.
WorkSafe WA Bulletin 11 says workplaces should provide and maintain an AED.
SA is widely seen as the template. Early movers are already compliant if WA follows.
Under the AED (Public Access) Act 2022, government buildings needed AEDs from Jan 2025 and private venues from Jan 2026. It's Australia's first AED law — and a clear signal of where things are heading.
Every WA public school has needed an AED on site since June 2024. For other workplaces it isn't law yet, but WorkSafe WA Bulletin 11 says you should provide and maintain one — especially where there's electrical risk, ambulance delay or public foot traffic.
WHS law already requires first aid equipment matched to your risks. For venues with crowds, remote sites or electrical work, an AED is a sensible, defensible part of that.
From 1 January 2026, South Australia's Automated External Defibrillators (Public Access) Act 2022 requires many public buildings, facilities and vehicles to have at least one AED — installed, registered, clearly signed, regularly maintained, and (where relevant) publicly accessible. It's the first law of its kind in Australia, and the model WA is being encouraged to follow.
Where a site is on commercial land and its publicly accessible floor area is over 1,200 m².
TGA-approved • registered with SA Ambulance within two weeks • signed both inside and at the building entrance • maintained per the manufacturer's instructions.
Hospitals & medical facilities, carparks, correctional facilities, certain children's residential facilities, and buildings with no public access.
WA has no equivalent broad venue law yet (WA public schools are already required to have one) — this is shown so you can see what “compliant” looks like if WA follows suit. Source: SA Health. Read the full SA Health requirements →
TAP-TO-CHECK
Look for the round AidReady sticker on the AED or cabinet. Tap it with your phone to open that unit’s monthly check — no app or login required.
Enter the serial number from the label on the AED and we’ll take you to the same check page.
Please enter the serial number from the label on the back of your defibrillator.
A serial number only opens the record for that specific AED.

Tell us when you book and we'll pair your course with a site walk-through. Where we're your trainer on the day, it happens right after the course — about twenty minutes, no charge, findings in writing the same day. If not, we'll arrange a visit that suits. Accredited courses run by our training partner Get Equipped First Aid, with hands-on practice on training AEDs just like the one at your venue.
If you already know what you need, these take you straight there.

We supply the equipment we can stand behind, and we’ll say plainly when something falls outside that. You’re welcome to source equipment elsewhere; the walk-through and the management work either way.
