Defib in Your Street

Defib in Your Street New Suburb Announcement: In 2023, this free program will be rolling out to the 3021 postcode (St Albans, Kealba, Kings Park, Albanvale)

This program aims to create the safest places in Australia to have a sudden cardiac arrest. In 3021, we will:

Install 30 defibrillators so that no resident is more than 400 metres from a 24/7 available AED
Train free 5000 residents in CPR, either via accredited HLTAID009 Provide CPR training or non-accredited awareness, like CPR Lab or eLearning

Did You Know?

The 3021 postcode (St Albans, Kings Park, Kealba, Albanvale) has the highest number of sudden cardiac arrests in Victoria
Before Defib in Your Street began, 3021 did not have any defibrillators available that you could use anytime of day or night
Most (80%) sudden cardiac arrests happen in the home, not at the shops or at work, leaving people like you too far from the help you need

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Over 7,300 sudden cardiac arrests occur in Victoria per year. 80% of these arrests happen in the home.
Sudden cardiac arrests have a low survival rate of 5% in Victoria
Only 1.5% of people that have sudden cardiac arrests receive bystander defibrillation
CPR within the first 6 minutes of sudden cardiac arrest, coupled with use of a defibrillator, increases the survival rates to as high as 70%.
