Defibrillators in the community

To enhance public safety and support the community in an emergency, publicly accessible defibrillators are in our libraries, major sporting venues and some community centres.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a small portable device which delivers an electrical shock to a person's heart to restore rhythm, allowing blood and oxygen to flow to the heart, brain and body. Having immediate access to a defibrillator can increase the likelihood of survival for people experiencing cardiac arrest.

It's easy to use an AED – it will tell you what to do. The AED will determine whether a shock is needed – not you.

Our defibrillators are in a highly visible and accessible location in each facility. Please note that some facilities have limited access times. AEDs are only available when a facility is open. Find more information by selecting the locations on the map below.

Locations

In addition to these facilities, you may also find a defibrillator at your local shopping centre, gym or at your work place. Do you know where your nearest defibrillator is located?

Register your AED with the Queensland Ambulance Service

Is your AED registered with the Queensland Ambulance Service? Did you know that if an AED at your business is registered, it may be accessed to begin defibrillation before paramedics arrive. All businesses are welcome to register their AED, including shopping centres and gyms.

Registering your AED is easy and could help someone experiencing a suspected cardiac arrest.

The details of your business are not publicly available and are only provided if a call is made to Triple Zero (000).

To register a new AED please visit the Queensland Ambulance Service website where you can also update or remove a registered AED.

On occasion, we partner with the Queensland Ambulance Service to deliver CPR awareness sessions.
