Sunshine has one of the highest rates of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests in Victoria, but with the help of local residents, we can help improve survival rates.

The Defib In Your Street program aims to create some of the safest places in Australia to have a sudden cardiac arrest, which is one of the deadliest conditions. Our program aims to:

• Install 30 defibrillators so that no resident is more than 400 metres from a 24/7 available AED.
• Train free 5000 residents in CPR, either via accredited HLTAID009 Provide CPR training or non-accredited awareness, like CPR Lab or eLearning.

Currently, our program is focused on improved cardiac arrest survival rates in the 3020 postcode (Sunshine, Sunshine North, Sunshine West and Albion).

To help us improve survival rates, get involved in free training, fundraising or hosting a defibrillator:

We surveyed Sunshine community members to see what they knew about cardiac arrests, CPR and defibrillation. Here is what we discovered:

• 78% do not know exactly how to use a defibrillator.
• 74% do not know where there nearest defib is.
• 55% haven’t received any recent first aid training.
• 5% do not know exactly what to do for someone showing signs of sudden cardiac arrest.
