About
A defibrillator (AED) is a portable device to be used on a person that is in cardiac arrest before an ambulance arrives.
AEDs can used by the general public. The AED will give voice instructions on how to use it once it is switched on.
The AED will deliver a measured electrical shock to restore the normal effective cardiac rhythm.

State AED register
A register of defibrillators is being set up in South Australia. The SA Ambulance Service wants businesses, community groups and individuals to report automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that are publicly accessible.
If you register your AED, it will allow emergency response agencies to direct a caller to the AED so that it can be used in a cardiac emergency until an ambulance arrives.
