Between rosters, audits and everything else, it's easy to neglect defibrillator maintenance. We'll come to your site, check yours properly, and leave you with a written record — so it's one less thing you're carrying.
Assessments are only carried out by a former registered paramedic and emergency services personnel.
We'll be in touch to arrange a time that suits you. The walk-through takes about twenty to thirty minutes, and there is nothing you need to prepare beforehand.
Anything urgent in the meantime? admin@aidready.com.au
The visit takes about twenty to thirty minutes, and we work around your operations.
Dated, with your pad and battery expiry dates recorded. Something you can hand to management, an auditor, or whoever asks the question.
Whether your unit is somewhere it could genuinely be reached in time, including after hours — or, if you don't have one yet, where it ought to go.
Pads and batteries for some older or discontinued units are getting hard to source. We'll tell you where yours stands, so a replacement is something you plan for rather than discover.
If something needs attention we'll explain what and why, without the jargon. If you'd like it costed, we'll quote it. If not, that's genuinely fine.
Under work health and safety law there is an expectation that equipment is maintained in line with the manufacturer's instructions, and that you can show it was. Most people are never told that part.
Handwritten checklists get misplaced, and they tend to leave with the staff member who kept them. A dated record that stays with the site is far more useful on the day somebody actually asks to see it.
Most units will beep when a battery or pads expire — but that only helps if somebody is close enough to hear it. And no unit can tell you it is behind a locked door, that the afternoon shift doesn't know it is there, or that nobody has written down when it was last looked at.
South Australia now requires defibrillators in many buildings and public premises, with a duty to install and maintain them. Penalties for non-compliance run to $20,000.
Western Australia has not introduced an equivalent requirement — yet. Whether it eventually follows is not something anyone can promise — but organisations that already know the condition and placement of their equipment are in a considerably better position if it does.
South Australia: install-and-maintain duty commenced in stages from January 2025. AidReady is not affiliated with any regulator; this page is general information, not legal advice.
Before AidReady, I worked as a registered paramedic. I have seen first-hand what it means when equipment isn't ready, and that is the reason this service exists.
It is very common for us to find older units that no longer have serviceable replacement parts — pads and batteries that simply aren't made any more. Our job is to tell you that now, while it is something you can plan for, rather than let it become a surprise on the day it matters.
We do sell defibrillators, along with replacement pads and batteries if you need them, and we have industry contacts if first aid training is on your list. But the priority is operational readiness — knowing the unit on your wall will work when someone needs it. The visit and the written report are yours either way.
