The Western Australian Government has mandated all public schools must have a defibrillator or AED installed by 30 June 2024.
Â
Is your local school ready?
The Director General of Education has mandated the installation of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in all public schools across Western Australia by 30 June 2024, as part of a comprehensive effort to enhance safety and preparedness within educational settings. This initiative, underscores the critical importance of preparedness for cardiac emergencies in our schools.
Why This Matters

As a partner of Aero Healthcare, you are on the frontline of this crucial initiative, providing the essential tools that schools need to become heart-safe environments.
What This Mean For Schools in WA
Mandatory Installation
Under the new 2023/2024 mandate, it is compulsory for all WA public schools to install at least one AED on their premises by June 30, 2024. This regulation underscores the proven effectiveness of AEDs, which have been shown to double the chances of survival following a cardiac arrest. Compliance with this mandate is essential and non-negotiable, reflecting our commitment to safeguarding the lives of students and staff.
Strategic Placement
To maximize effectiveness, the mandate specifies that AEDs must be installed in easily accessible locations. Every endeavour must be made to install an AED on the outside wall of the administration building. This placement strategy ensures that the devices are highly visible and easily accessible to everyone within the school community, facilitating rapid response in emergencies.
AED Signage
Visibility is further enhanced by having clear signage for all AED installations. This ensures that anyone on school grounds can quickly identify and access the AED during a critical health emergency, saving valuable time when every second counts. It is recommended that every AED installed should be equipped with adequate signage.
AED Maintenance
Ensuring the AED is in optimal working condition is crucial. The device must be stored in a dust-free and water-free environment, shielded from extreme temperatures. We recommend housing the AED in a sealed, shaded outdoor cabinet to protect it from environmental elements and ensure its reliability when needed most. To see our range of AED cabinets click here
