Why This Matters
Sudden cardiac arrest can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness.
Having an AED available is one of the most important investments a sporting club can make, but equipment alone isn’t enough.
By combining world-class defibrillation technology with accredited first aid training, your club creates a safer environment where more people have the confidence and skills to act when it matters most.
Together, we can build stronger, safer football communities across Queensland.
