A defibrillator near every home

Greg Page, a former Wiggle, has made it his mission to make sure that if someone goes into cardiac arrest an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is always nearby.

He aims to see AEDs within 200 metres of every home in Australia because the majority of cardiac arrests occur in the home. His foundation, Heart of a Nation, has developed an app, that will help in the roll out of AEDs across suburban areas.

You can nominate yourself as a host house, and team up with 40 neighbours.
