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.
