From 1 January 2026, new South Australian legislation will require most commercial and public buildings to have a registered and maintained Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on site.
For members of the Property Council of Australia, this is an opportunity to go beyond compliance to enhance workplace health and safety (WHS) protocols and ensure gold-standard emergency procedures are in place across their portfolios.
Building a safer, more prepared workplace
Each year, more than 33,000 Australians experience a sudden cardiac arrest outside hospital. Having an AED that’s accessible, maintained and ready for use plays a vital role in emergency response and supports an organisation’s broader WHS responsibilities.
Embedding AED management into existing safety frameworks demonstrates a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of staff, tenants, and visitors, reinforcing your organisation’s safety culture and duty of care.
Smart, connected AED solutions
Modern AEDs, such as LIFEPAK CR2 4G, takes readiness to the next level through cellular connectivity. This technology allows each device to send updates and alerts to a secure online platform, so facility managers can see the operational status of every AED across their sites without manual checks.
This means:
- Automatic alerts when maintenance or consumables are due
- Centralised, Australian-based record keeping for compliance
- Portfolio-wide visibility from a single dashboard
By integrating cellular connectivity, property owners can maintain confidence that their AEDs are ready, compliant, and visible across their portfolio.
