Which defibrillator brand is best for workplaces?

The best AED depends on your environment, staff training level, and specific needs. ZOLL AED Plus and AED 3 offer real-time CPR feedback. Philips HeartStart HS1 and FRx are widely used by emergency services. Defibshop stocks all major brands and our paramedic team can recommend the right device for your situation.

Are defibrillators mandatory in Australia?

South Australia has mandatory AED legislation (Automated External Defibrillators (Public Access) Act 2022) requiring AEDs in specified public buildings from 1 January 2026. Other states have workplace safety obligations under WHS laws. Defibshop provides compliance guidance for all Australian states.

How often should a defibrillator be serviced?

AEDs should be professionally serviced at least annually and self-tested regularly. Pads and batteries have fixed expiry dates and must be replaced on schedule. Defibshop offers AED maintenance and servicing across NSW, QLD, VIC and SA.

Can I hire a defibrillator in Australia?

Yes. Defibshop offers short and long-term AED hire and rental for events, temporary cover while a device is being serviced, or trial periods before purchasing. Call 1300 729 575 to discuss your requirements.

Can anyone use a defibrillator without training?

Yes. Modern AEDs are designed for use by untrained bystanders. They provide clear voice and visual prompts guiding every step. You cannot harm someone by using an AED — the device will only deliver a shock if it detects a shockable heart rhythm. However, CPR/AED training improves confidence and response time.

The original award-winning Defibtech AED, the Lifeline Fully-Automatic, is designed so anyone can use it. The unit analyses the patient and delivers the shock automatically — no shock button to press. It comes with a long-life 5-year battery and an 8-year warranty.

Simple to Use

Simple, clear and straightforward: one button to turn the unit on. The Lifeline AED then guides you through the rescue automatically — no shock button, no manual decisions in the moment.

Clear Voice Prompts

In an emergency, stress runs high and even trained professionals can lose their place. The Lifeline AED ensures that never happens. Its clear, calm voice guides the user through the process, one step at a time, with simple, concise instructions. Easy-to-see progress lights provide a visual frame of reference to support verbal instructions.

Long Life Battery

The 5-year battery will deliver 125 shocks or work continuously for 8 hours. Prefer the 7-year extended-life battery? See the Lifeline Fully-Auto with 7-Year Battery.

Designed for the Real World

You never know the circumstances surrounding an emergency. That is why Defibtech designed the Lifeline AED to be ready to handle any situation. This lightweight device is prepared for anything, from the rubberised surfaces to provide a sure grip and oversized handle big enough for gloved hands to the fully integrated design devoid of confusing moving parts.

Active Status Indicator

Is the AED in complete working order? Thanks to the actively illuminated status light, you can have peace of mind from knowing it is always ready when needed.

Highly Visible

When you need an AED, seconds count. Thanks to its bright yellow colour, the Lifeline series of AEDs is designed for maximum visibility. Locating the unit should never be an issue.

Award-Winning Ergonomic Design

The Lifeline AED has won numerous awards for design and innovation. It was even displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as an example of innovative design. Lightweight, portable and compact, the Lifeline is an example of ergonomics at its finest.

Rugged and Durable

Dust, water, shock, and vibration may wreck other AEDs, but the Lifeline AED is manufactured to military standards to resist such elements; jet aircraft and helicopters have been tested.

Safe and Effective Life-Saving Technology

The Lifeline AED uses biphasic technology, a clinically proven waveform and algorithm to deliver shocks and save lives. This is one of the most widely used impedance-compensated waveforms, with extensive clinical experience and success in thousands of defibrillators worldwide. Evaluation in hundreds of publications has demonstrated this technology to be the safest and most effective for saving lives.
